Embedded WineStein® for web shops is implemented fast and easily by adding a piece of HTML-code. This option offers you a starting page, the meal entry page and the results page, all of which can be fitted to your site in terms of colour scheme and fonts used.
The meal entry module will allow visitors to compose a dish easily, after which matching wines will be displayed with their scores. Only wines from your own web shop will be displayed, with the direct option to buy.
Wines will be automatically linked to WineStein® through a recurrent XML-feed.
Find an example of embedded WineStein® on Grapy.nl.
For more advanced integration of WineStein® in a webshop , website or for non web-based purposes, we offer bespoke applications of WineStein®. These use an XML-based API to communicate with WineStein®’s meal-wine-engine.
This option offers more flexibility in configuring your user interface, the configuration of a dish, as well as in the display of results. The communication device used here is standard XML via a POST over HTTP and can be implemented in every type of application.
We offer two options to display matching wines with a dish: wines of your own only or all wines from the WineWineWine database.
An example of bespoke WineStein® is the iPhone App available through Apple Store. This implementation of WineStein® communicates by means of the standard XML API that is available through our portal.
The API furthermore enables combinations of the standard WineStein® user interface with web pages and controls specifically designed for your website. We are able to offer any form of bespoke software for portals and applications based on the standard functionalities offered by the WineWineWine enterprise business layer.
Embedded WineStein® and the standard XML API combined will cover 99% of the requirements with respect to integrating websites or applications and WineStein®.
Requirements of your website may nonetheless go further. In this case, please contact us and we will develop a custom API able to provide the exact information and options to solve your business needs.
