Can MirrorSync be used for online client bookings with wordpress?

[Anthony Girdler]

I run a veterinary hospital and want to allow my clients to check their pets details, check when they are due, and create an appointment.

I have a prospective programmer who says we can use mirror sync with our wordpress MySql database to update our filemaker server database. Apologies if I butchered the terminology.

He says we will only need one install of mirrorsync and it will update FM in real time.

Does this sound viable ?

Do I need to ask more questions ?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Anthony.

Yes, this definitely sounds viable.

The primary issue to be aware of when using MirrorSync to integrate FileMaker Server with Wordpress is that the schema needs to be similar. 1 table in Wordpress / MySQL needs to correspond to 1 table in FileMaker: You can't split or merge the sync so that 2 Wordpress tables are synced to a single FileMaker table, or vice versa.

Pricing for this is $1,800. Contact [email protected] if you'd like to arrange a 30 day trial license key.
