Integration Principles
In our integrations, we use several principles on which they are built. SAP Business One Integration with Zoho Commerce is no exception.
Two-way connection
The general principle for all integration is to provide a two-way connection between any two systems. You can use customized import and export profiles to perform integration with simplicity. In addition, because the import and export profiles are independent, they do not need to be used simultaneously.
Scheduler
Along with this, we use our built-in scheduler to simplify and automate SAP Business One with Zoho Commerce and other integrations. You could make updates at a time that is completely suitable for you. Imagine you need to send product data from Zoho Commerce to SAP Business One on a weekly basis:
- First, go to your export profile and choose weekly updates in the drop-down menu.
- Next, select weekday and time of update
- Using the asynchronous method, which is activated in the profile, you can integrate information into SAP Business One before the scheduled time.
- To get product information back, go to your import profile and make the same changes.
Mapping
Using our mapping tools you simplify your work with any integration. Third-party attributes must match the local environment since data must always satisfy the receiving system’s criteria. If you do this process manually you could lose a lot of valuable time. Firebear team provides you mapping grid which is accessible in every import and export profile. You get the ability to create mapping schemes that will match any requested attributes of the receiving system. Also, mapping profiles can be saved and loaded for later use, for example in SAP Business One Integration with Zoho Commerce.
Other features
Another principle used in SAP Business One Zoho Commerce integration and other projects is supporting a variety of connection standards. We support some data file standards for our integrations including XML, CSX, XLSX, ODS, and JSON.
Additionally, we sync the information using Google Sheets. You can synchronize your data between your store and this platform using our tools. Other data transfer methods include direct URL uploads, FTP/SFTP, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive. More flexible connections can be made thanks to API-based ties.
