In Floriday, you can purchase directly via a VMP connection, just like in FloraXchange. Due to outdated technologies, FloraXchange will be phased out in the near future. Therefore, you can now easily migrate the VMP connection from FloraXchange to Floriday yourself.
We recommend implementing an API connection in the future. An API connection offers more options and gives you control over the information you retrieve. Moreover, an API connection is faster and future-proof.
How do you migrate a VMP connection from FloraXchange to Floriday? Follow the steps below to convert:
First, go to Settings via the three dots in the top right corner. select VMP accounts on the System tab.
Please note!
There are fees associated with integrations. This is also the case with FloraXchange. View the rates on this page.

If you have or are about to create multiple VMP connections, it's wise to provide clear descriptions for reference.
After creating the account, the Username, Password, and VMP URL will then be displayed immediately. Make a note of this information immediately, as the password will only be displayed once.

Click Configure account at the bottom.
You'll then see an overview of your new VMP account. Here you'll configure all the settings for the VMP connection on this account.
