Wholesaler uses Magento SOAP API v2 - does this mean I'm restricted to using Magento? - magento

I've recently got in contact with a wholesaler who stocks products matching my site.
They offer an API to process orders, and automatically check their stock - which is appealing to me as it would save me time.
They have provided me PHP code, but the references are to Magentos SOAP API v2.
Is it possible to use Shopify instead of Magento, or am I stuck using Magento for my site?
Thanks for your time

goldmoney payment gateway implementation in Magento

I planned to build a ECommerce website in Magento. In this, I need goldmoney payment method for checkout. I searched about goldmoney payment for Magento, but I didn't get any valuable result.
Please someone help me to get this done and suggest me other ways to get this done.
Also suggest me how can i create developer account for testing in goldmoney.
goldmoney pay button only available. But that will not suitable for Magento.
Note: I am not much knowledge about goldmoney payment method or gateway.
If the payment integration doesn't exist, you'll need to create one.
To integrate a new payment method in Magento 1 you'll need to:
know about the payment API and workflow
create a (payment) module for Magento
There are plenty of material about creating payment module for magento out there. Here are some of them:

Magento Rest API is magento feature to provide us facility to get and set data in magento from third party applications using Rest API. In Magento Rest API there are many functions to get Products data, Customers Data, Orders Data etc. You can check documentation using the below link:

Magento extensions are third party modules that we install to enhance magento by default functionality like ajax add to cart OR add new feature in magento like reward point etc.

Amazon Fees are not updating in Magento Orders when importing orders using M2E pro

I'm using M2Epro in a Magento site. When syncing the Amazon Orders to Magento store, it creates the orders and products correctly but the Amazon Fee always shows 0 (Zero) in the Order details in Magento.
I have created screenshots to describe the issue more clearly:
See the Amazon Orders import log
Amazon orders are imported and Magento orders created with similar info. Note the Order #, Magento Order #. An equivalent Magento Order is created for each Amazon order.
See the details of the Amazon Order .
See the details of the Magento Order counterpart of the Amazon order . Note the Amazon fee shows 0 but the actual fee is not 0. We have to update it with real value
I appreciate your help.
As far as I'm aware this is not possible and can only be found in your monthly reconciliation report from Amazon. However as M2EPro is a 3rd party extension. This question would be better asked via their support channels.
Even if your a 3rd party provider you should be able to tap into the Amazon data feed via API and get access to the fees the same way you do it with PayPal/eBay. We have used several 3rd party providers over the years and its never been an issue. This is something M2E should put on the wishlist for future improvements for sure.

magento REST/OAuth in 1.7

I am in magento 1.6.2 and working on setting up something to show/hide cms page(s) based on customer status.
Similar to the way WordPress has many "paywall/membership" plugins.
So the user subscribes (currently looking at using AW SARP plug-in for that part) --> then magento grants access to the CMS page,
i.e.
Show/Hide Plug-In
Show/Hide Video Program links in Customer Account
A Video Program is a Product on a CMS Page.
Customer buys (or subscribes to) a Video Program
-->a listener looks for customer ID
-->customer ID is found and shows magento what product(s) (one or more products) customer has paid for (and/or is currently subscribed to)
-->magento displays an array in customer account on a tab "My Purchased Videos" that includes links to CMS pages for each Video Program
-->once subscription expires, customer can not access CMS pages for each Video Program.
So, am I right that 1.7 allows customer management /access to be done in a totally different way using REST/OAuth or is REST/OAuth is just one more admin thing?
As far as I understand, the Magento REST API is primarily designed for integrating 3rd party applications, so it's "just" one more admin thing.

Adding new payment method on Magento Community 1.6.2

I'm developing an e-commerce site using magento community 1.6.2. I need to use Knet as my payment gateway (Kuwait local payment system). They use a php-java bridge to connect their system with magento. Magento wiki tutorials are not helping, they are not showing the admin side.
How can I add this payment method to magento.
Developing a Magento extension is not an easy task, and payment gateway integrations are not easy to work with.
I can recommend you to hire a professional to do the job for you and you just install the module on your Magento store.
Regards.
