UPC Autofill

Post by thundercla82 » Tue Feb 27, 2024 6:14 pm

I'm looking to set up a marketplace for people to sell used media and I would like to simplify entering data for products. Is there a plugin I'm missing that allows a person to enter a UPC, EAN, and ISBN that can help autofill some of the details for the product? I haven't been able to find anything.

Thanks.

There are plenty of classified ads type extensions.

Phoca shop, giving your users access to enter product data? They'd be in a specific user group for that purpose.
https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/phoca-cart/. Any fields it doesn't have, you could add custom fields.

Or you could build your own component (both the data entry form, and the product display page(s)) with Fabrik

I appreciate the input but that's not exactly what I'm looking for. I'm aware for the classified and marketplace extensions available, what I'd like is for a way to enter a UPC, EAN, or ISPN number and have details such as Title, Format (DVD, Blu-ray, etc.), Description, etc. auto-populate the details of the listing.

Where do you propose getting the data from?
Fabrikar has the ability to connect to remote data bases but I cant imagine sites like ISDN would allow that or would charge for it.
