Hi...Mobicart has an API. The API hooks into their database. I can think of a few ways to use this data in your buzztouch app. Example: You could create a .PHP on your server that would connect to the Mobicart API to pull your products from their database. Next, the script on your server would use this data to output a list of menu items for your app to consume. The Screen Menu list you create in your control panel would use a dataURL that pointed to the srcript on your server. This is one example, I'm sure lots of other things can be done.

It's not possible for me to know the best approach, I really can't guess, each implementation is different. It just seems to me that you'll have a tough time getting new code or libraries magically included in your xcode project without a ton of work. So, my tought was that you would seupt your .PHP backend to communicate with the Moicart API. Your server would then output the data needed by the app. These concepts are very advanced and you'll need to get super comfortable with how their API works and how your PHP server will communicate with it long before trying to implement it in your app.
