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.

Data Touchpoints

3dcart: Order, Product, Customer, Inventory, Payment, Shipment, Refund, Coupon/Discount, Category, Webhook
Infor: Customer, Sales Order, Product, Inventory Item, Invoice, Payment Transaction, Purchase Order, Vendor, Employee, General Ledger Account

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Mapping for 3dcart Infor Integration

Our iPaaS provides a visual canvas for mapping critical data entities between 3dcart and Infor, supported by AI to suggest optimal field matches and transformation logic, ensuring data consistency and accuracy.

Order

Represents a customer's purchase in 3dcart, including line items, shipping, billing, and payment details. Maps to Infor's Sales Order.

3dcart Fields

OrderID CustomerID OrderStatus OrderTotal OrderDate BillingAddress ShippingAddress PaymentMethod Items (ProductID, SKU, Quantity, Price)

Infor Fields

OrderID (unique ID) CustomerID OrderDate LineItems (Product, Quantity, Price) TotalAmount OrderStatus ShippingMethod PaymentStatus

Mapping Notes

OrderID from 3dcart typically maps to a custom external reference field or the primary OrderID in Infor. Line items require detailed mapping of SKU, quantity, and price. OrderStatus translation is critical (e.g., 'Processing' in 3dcart to 'Open' in Infor).

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:

  1. 0 Customer places an order on 3dcart.
  2. 1 3dcart webhook (for new Order) triggers the iPaaS workflow.
  3. 2 iPaaS retrieves full order details from 3dcart using its Order API.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 5 Infor's Inventory Item entity is updated (reserved quantity) based on the new Sales Order.
  7. 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.
  8. 7 Infor generates an Invoice from the Sales Order.
  9. 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.
