Connecting OpenCart with the bridge file

OpenCart's built-in API is written for checkout, not for reading a catalog: there is no endpoint that lists products, customers or orders. Every migration tool solves this the same way — with a small file you place in your store.

Installing the bridge

1. In SyncifyPro, open Migrations and choose OpenCart.
2. Click Download bridge file. The file has a private token generated for your shop.
3. Upload syncifypro-bridge.php to your OpenCart root folder — the one containing config.php — using FTP or your hosting file manager.
4. Enter your store URL and click Connect.

What the bridge can do

It is read-only. It serves products, categories, customers, orders and coupons as JSON, and it refuses any request without the exact token. It never writes to your database and never changes your store.

Removing it

Delete the file when your migration is done. It's a single file with no installer and no database changes, so removing it leaves nothing behind.

Tested against OpenCart 4.x. If you're on OpenCart 3, get in touch before you start and we'll check compatibility with your version.
