Working with WIX database

Hello,

I’m currently have a standalone application that works with MySQL DB. I need a website where users can order stuff. WIX looks very nice in that regard. So in perfect situation I want a website and my application working with same DB so if user purchase something on website application could catch it (through querying DB).

So my question is following - Is it possible to work with WIX DB site from a stand alone application (written in C#) to retrieve user information or I need additional external DB and make a sync between WIX DB and external one?

Thanks.

You would be best working with the Wix option of using the external dataset.
