Mirror inventory, but bill with your own cart

I’m trying to set up a site for a reseller who has 1 supplier. The supplier has an online catalogue with various pricing which they update frequently.
What I looking at is either mirroring their content or sticking their inventory in an iframe. But I want the customers selections to be held in the reseller’s own shopping cart.

@NogDogNov 08.2019 — Does the supplier have an API to their data? This would probably be the best solution if they do, allowing your app to make API requests to it within your PHP code -- or even within the client-side JavaScript if you prefer a more "single-page app" approach.

An IFrame approach would be clumsy at best, IMHO. If they don't have an API, then I'd check to see if there's some way they can provide the inventory info you need, whether via a CSV file, etc. on a regular basis (or when things change)?

Success!
