Customer 

We can help you integrate customer information between any two systems. New customers who register with Swell Commerce are integrated with SAP Business One as a Business Partner. Their details including billing, shipping address, and contact information with the email id and phone number will also be integrated. Guest customer information is also synchronized as order details. 

Product 

Product sync works bi-directionally. Items that are contained in SAP B1 will be integrated into Swell Commerce as Products. Existing products are integrated back into SAP Business One. 

Sales Order

With the Firebear team, you can integrate Order information across platforms. Orders placed in the Swell Commerce will be synchronized with SAP B1. All order details like Items Ordered, Amount, Customer Name, Address, etc. will also be integrated. Discount information with SAP Business One and Swell Commerce will be synchronized. Online Payment Information will also be integrated. 

Stock 

Stock Update in SAP Business One will synchronize with Swell Commerce. This is aimed at maintaining accurate inventory levels between SAP and Swell. 

Integration Principles 

We use several important principles for all our integrations and SAP Business One Integration with Swell Commerce does not stand aside. 

Two-way connection 

Between the two systems, the most important thing is to create a two-way communication. With our tools, you can easily do this. You can customize the integration the way you want with custom import and export profiles. In addition, import and export profiles are independent this allows you to not configure them at the same time.

Scheduler 

With the built-in scheduler, you can automate and simplify SAP Business One and Swell Commerce Integration. You can set variable update times for import and export activities and different attributes. For example, you need to integrate client data from Swell Commerce to SAP Business One on a weekly basis: 

  • In your export profile, select the weekly updates in the menu
  • Then, select a weekday and the exact time of transfer. 
  • You can use the asynchronous technique to transport data to SAP Business One from Swell Commerce before the scheduled time.
  • To get all the data back, go back to the import profile and make the same changes. 

Mapping 

With our mapping tools, you make synchronizing data between any two systems a cakewalk. Data adjustments must meet the requirements according to the receiving system’s criteria and therefore third-party attributes must fall within the native environment’s requirements for successful integration. If you do this process manually, you will probably waste a lot of time. The mapping grid that appears in every import and export profile will help you meet any system requirements that may exist. Create a mapping scheme for this purpose and do the integration with the Firebear team. You can also save and load mapping profiles for later use, for example in SAP Business One Integration with Swell Commerce. 

Other features 

An important feature that we use in integrations is support for a range of connection standards. We support data file standards including XML, CSX, XLSX, ODS, and JSON.

Additionally, we use Google Sheets for data synchronization. You can easily integrate all your data between your store and this platform. Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, FTP/SFTP, and direct URL uploads are other synchronization methods. API-based ties will help you make integrations according to your rules.
