Shop Management Machine

So my idea comes in 2 parts, one that I think is doable for sure and one that may not be so realistic. My idea is for a machine that when linked using spark links to shop stands it allows us to restock and collect money from all of the connected stands all while accessing just this machine.

The second part of the idea is a companion phone application that allows us to check this shop management machine from our mobile devices. And not necessarily restock or collect money via the app, but just view the state of our stock levels. For people with limited play time and large shops, just checking what to restock takes up a very large portion of our playtime. So This way we can check while on the go and formulate a plan for when we do get our 2 or so hours to play a day.

Of course I know nothing of the server space/other requirements that come with running an app that connects to the game. This is just an idea.

Thank you!

That would be amazing

On your second idea, if the devs did not want to spend the time making an app for this, if they created an api for shop stands then 3rd parties could create something useful like what you mentioned.

An api that is opt in for players and with that api key a 3rd party could see info on all that players shop stands including items, prices, stock, and location would be amazing in my opinion.

Such a shop stand api would allow for the creation of sites and apps similar to what gw2spidy.com does for guild wars.

This of course is all up to the devs if they want to make it, because it likely wouldn’t be a quick and easy thing to add. And it’s up to the players if they want it too.
