Hello,
i'am using an Amazon Affiliate Plugin for WordPress/Woocommerce which is pulling data from Amazon products into the wordpress Database (like images, price, desciptions and all that stuff). I don't want to use Woocommerce because i want to create a new layout with all the data. So my idea is using Metabox + visual designer for that, but i need to update all data 2 times a day for the correct price.

1. Does someone know a solution to display mysql data, with a visual designer ( for beginners) ?
2. Is there a solution to copy two times a day the data from a wordpress table into a metabox table and keep it uptodate ? I only need the price field uptodate. Like a migration tool or something ?

greetings

Hello Joo,

Thanks for reaching out.

1. This question might need an answer from a page builder plugin, if you want to use a page builder, you can read more on this article https://metabox.io/best-wordpress-page-builders/

2. Meta Box saves the field value to the standard table of WordPress wp_postmeta, so it does not make sense to migrate data from WordPress to Meta Box.

If you are a developer, you can use the custom table and store the price field there. I recommend following our documentation
https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-custom-table/
and this article https://metabox.io/move-custom-fields-data-to-custom-tables/
But please notice that, the builder will not work with the data stored in the custom table, you have to use the code to output the field value.
