  Do you know what SQL and XML is? If you know how to write simple SQL-queries, you could easily adapt our generic PHP-script to work for your Shop system on your own. The script just sends some SQL-queries to the database in order to collect the required data, and puts it into an XML document that is provided to iRunAShop.

  It should be straightforward to adapt it for use with your system, too. All you have to do is have a look at the resulting XML documents and our predefined SQL-queries, and adapt the queries to match the tables of your shop’s database. Sounds easy, doesn’t it?

  If you managed to adapt the script to your shop system, please share the result and let others enjoy iRunAShop as well! To do so, please provide us with the source code and your consent to put it on this website. We would very much appreciate your help!
