A REST API module for OpenCart stores, covering products, orders, customers, inventory, webhooks, and other store data.

Why it surfaced

This is unusually concrete developer plumbing: 19 documented resources, roughly 68 endpoints, OpenAPI and Postman support, bulk updates for up to 500 products, and HMAC-SHA256 request signing with replay protection. It is presented as a bridge from OpenCart to ERP systems, marketplaces, headless storefronts, and automation workflows.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-10 Domain Arrivals issue.
