Deep Dive: 3dcart & Znode Technical Integration Details

Our iPaaS provides a robust, API-first architecture to connect 3dcart and Znode, enabling secure, scalable, and real-time data exchange. This section outlines the technical foundation and implementation approach.

Data Flow Steps

Discovery & Requirements: Analyze existing 3dcart and Znode configurations, identify key entities for synchronization (Orders, Products, Customers, Inventory), and define specific business rules and data flow requirements.

iPaaS Setup & Connector Configuration: Provision the iPaaS environment, install and configure dedicated connectors for 3dcart and Znode. Securely store API keys (3dcart) and OAuth tokens (Znode) in the iPaaS secrets manager.

Workflow Design & Mapping: Visually design integration workflows using the low-code interface. Map relevant fields between 3dcart and Znode, leveraging AI-assisted mapping for efficiency. Define transformations and validation rules.

Event Trigger Configuration: Set up webhooks in 3dcart and Znode to enable real-time event-driven triggers (e.g., new order, inventory update) that initiate iPaaS workflows. Configure fallback scheduled polling for less critical data.

Testing & Validation: Deploy workflows to a sandbox environment. Conduct comprehensive unit, integration, and end-to-end testing with sample data from both 3dcart and Znode to ensure accuracy, performance, and adherence to business logic.

Deployment & Monitoring: Promote tested workflows to the production environment. Establish continuous monitoring, alerting, and logging within the iPaaS to track integration health and identify any issues in real-time.

Optimization & Maintenance: Regularly review integration performance, optimize data transformations, and adapt workflows to evolving business needs or API changes from 3dcart or Znode. Leverage version control for controlled updates.

Data Touchpoints

Orders: New orders, order status updates, refunds, shipments.
Products: Product creation, updates (description, price, images), category assignments.
Customers: New customer registrations, profile updates, address changes.
Inventory: Stock level updates, reserved quantities.
Pricing: Price list updates, promotional offers, discounts.
Webhooks: Event notifications for real-time triggers.

"The integration architecture centers around the iPaaS. Webhooks from 3dcart (for new orders, customer updates) and Znode (for inventory changes, new orders) act as real-time triggers. For bulk or less time-sensitive data, scheduled polling is used. Data flows into the iPaaS, where it undergoes extraction, transformation, and validation against a canonical data model. Business logic is applied, and then the transformed data is routed to the target platform via its respective API, ensuring bi-directional synchronization and consistent data across the eCommerce ecosystem. Error handling and monitoring are embedded at every stage."
