Unify Your eCommerce & ERP: Seamless 3dcart Infor Integration
Automate critical workflows, achieve real-time data accuracy, and elevate customer experiences by connecting 3dcart (Shift4Shop) with Infor ERP through a powerful, AI-driven iPaaS.
The Disconnect Between Your Digital Storefront & Back-Office ERP
Operating 3dcart and Infor in silos creates significant operational inefficiencies, data discrepancies, and limits your business's ability to scale. Manual processes lead to errors, delays, and a fragmented view of your customers and inventory.
-
Manual order entry from 3dcart into Infor, prone to human error and delays.
-
Outdated inventory levels in 3dcart leading to overselling and customer dissatisfaction.
-
Fragmented customer data across systems, hindering personalized marketing and support.
-
Delayed financial reconciliation and reporting due to disconnected payment and order data.
-
Inefficient product catalog management, requiring duplicate data entry in 3dcart and Infor.
-
Slow refund and return processing, impacting customer loyalty and financial accuracy.

Deep Dive: 3dcart Infor Integration Architecture
Our integration solution leverages a modern iPaaS to create a robust, secure, and highly performant connection between 3dcart and Infor. It's built on an API-first, event-driven architecture, ensuring maximum data freshness and operational agility.
Data Flow Steps
Event Trigger: A business event occurs in 3dcart (e.g., new order, customer update) triggering a webhook notification to the iPaaS.
Data Ingestion: The iPaaS securely receives the 3dcart webhook payload or initiates a poll to 3dcart's API for scheduled syncs.
Authentication & Authorization: The iPaaS uses securely stored 3dcart API keys and Infor OAuth/API keys to establish authenticated connections.
Data Extraction: Relevant data entities (e.g., Order, Customer, Product) are extracted from 3dcart's API.
Data Transformation & Harmonization: The iPaaS's visual mapping canvas and AI-assisted tools transform 3dcart's data schema into Infor's canonical data model. This includes field mapping, data type conversions, enrichment, and business logic application.
Data Validation: AI-powered validation rules check for data integrity, completeness, and adherence to Infor's business rules, flagging or correcting anomalies.
Infor API Call: The transformed and validated data is then sent to the appropriate Infor API endpoint (e.g., `/salesorders`, `/customers`) to create or update records.
Error Handling & Retries: Robust error handling mechanisms, including exponential backoff and dead-letter queues, manage transient failures and ensure data consistency.
Status Updates & Notifications: Infor processing results (e.g., Sales Order ID, inventory update success) are captured. Relevant updates (e.g., shipment tracking) can be sent back to 3dcart via iPaaS.
Monitoring & Logging: All integration activities, data flows, and errors are centrally logged and monitored through iPaaS dashboards.

Order-to-Cash (O2C) Automation
Automate the complete order lifecycle from 3dcart checkout to cash receipt in Infor, through fulfillment, invoicing, and payment application. This involves synchronizing customer, order, inventory, and payment data across multiple systems.
Integration Steps:
- 0 Customer places an order on 3dcart.
- 1 3dcart webhook (for new Order) triggers the iPaaS workflow.
- 2 iPaaS retrieves full order details from 3dcart using its Order API.
- 3 iPaaS validates customer and product data, potentially creating new Infor Customer records or updating existing ones, and validating product SKUs against Infor's Product master.
- 4 A Sales Order is created in Infor via its Sales Order API, populated with 3dcart order details including line items, shipping, billing, and pricing.
- 5 Infor's Inventory Item entity is updated (reserved quantity) based on the new Sales Order.
- 6 Upon shipment from Infor (or WMS integrated with Infor), shipment details (tracking number, carrier) are sent back to 3dcart via iPaaS using 3dcart's Shipment API.
- 7 Infor generates an Invoice from the Sales Order.
- 8 Payment status from 3dcart (via webhook or polling) is posted to Infor's Payment Transaction and GL Account entities for reconciliation.
Business Outcome
Reduced manual errors, accelerated order fulfillment, improved cash flow, real-time visibility into sales and inventory.
Real-time (event-driven for new orders, near real-time for status updates)
API Endpoints & Data Logic
Technical details for developers and architects.
⚡ Transformation Logic
- Data Type Conversion: Convert 3dcart string fields to Infor's expected numeric or date formats.
- Status Mapping: Translate 3dcart OrderStatus codes (e.g., 'Processing', 'Shipped') to Infor's equivalent Sales Order Statuses (e.g., 'Open', 'Closed', 'Invoiced').
- Address Normalization: Standardize address formats from 3dcart to Infor's preferred structure (e.g., street, city, state, zip).
- Price Calculation: Apply Infor-specific pricing rules or tax calculations to 3dcart order line items.
- Deduplication Logic: Implement rules for matching existing customers/products in Infor before creating new ones.
- Inventory Aggregation: If Infor manages multiple warehouses, aggregate 'AvailableQuantity' from relevant warehouses for 3dcart's 'Stock' field.
🛡️ Error Handling
- 3dcart order with invalid product SKU not found in Infor.
- Infor API rate limit exceeded during peak order volume.
- Network timeout during Infor Sales Order creation.
- Customer record in 3dcart contains malformed address data, causing Infor validation failure.
- Partial payment in 3dcart requiring specific reconciliation logic in Infor.
- Inventory update from Infor fails due to temporary database lock.
