Can you connect to a host DB from within another?

We have a web site for products, and want to "sell similar" on one of our other web sites; same product name, photos etc.
So we want to click a link and select which of the two web sites it's going to, and then submit to post the data collected, to that remote database.
I thought it would be as similar as doing a db connection to the IP Address, username, password and DBName, but during a test to simple extract data from that site, from within the other site, it freezes.
The external site has the "receiving" site's IP whitelisted.
Could it just be down to a Firewall on the host site, not allowed external or internal connections from another web site DB? And if so, how does it work with Google Ads???
