eCommerce Platform Integration
OrderDynamics supports several different integration scenarios depending on the
unique business needs of the merchant. Although a wide range of custom integration
options exist, the objective of integration is to minimize manual efforts and utilize
all existing business systems where appropriate.
Determining the exact integration needs unique to a given project is part of our
structured discovery process. OrderDynamics documents the communication points between
each system for all key areas your website from Products, Pricing, Accounts,
Customers, Payments, Orders, Inventory, Order Status, Shipping Tracking, Tax Exemption
and more. Integration requirements are recorded in a series of diagrams for workflow
and architecture.
Integration Software and File Exchange
Included with every plan is the OrderDynamics Integration Software which provides
automated integration with all major shipping systems. This ensures Packing Slips,
Shipping Labels, Tracking Numbers, and Customer Notifications, are automated and
accurate. Included is a local Integration Database thats provides merchants with direct access to
Order and Customer information for ad-hoc access. In addition, OrderDynamics
supports custom file exchanges using structured file formats (such as XML) and secure
transport mechanisms (HTTPS, FTPS, VPN). OrderDynamics provides custom import /
export scripts for data exchange between ERPs, Accounting Systems, Inventory and
Warehouse Systems, and CRM environments. File exchanges are scheduled and monitored
by the OrderDynamics Service Desk.
Web Services Architecture
For merchants with complex internal IT systems, advanced levels of integration are
supported through a web services architecture. This provides merchants with the
highest level of control over their websites while maintaining reliability through
autonomy. Using web services architecture, merchants can maintain all aspects of
their websites and communicate with their internal systems through a standardized
interface. This also reduces maintenance costs by eliminating direct access to multiple
back office systems. Web services integration also allows for custom business rules, triggers,
and frequencies such as promotion updates, delta changes, immediate pricing updates,
content updates, attributes updates, inventory levels, and more.
