The Challenge

The Disconnect: Why Manual Epicor Eclipse & 3dcart Operations Hinder Growth

Without a robust integration, managing your Epicor Eclipse ERP and 3dcart e-commerce store becomes a constant battle against manual data entry, errors, and delayed processes. This disconnect stifles efficiency and prevents a true understanding of your business.

  • Manual order entry from 3dcart into Epicor Eclipse is time-consuming and error-prone.
  • Inaccurate inventory levels on 3dcart lead to overselling, backorders, and customer dissatisfaction.
  • Delayed fulfillment due to manual processing of orders and shipping updates.
  • Lack of a unified customer view across sales and accounting systems.
  • Complex and slow financial reconciliation of e-commerce transactions in Epicor Eclipse.
  • Struggling to manage product information consistently across both platforms.

Technical Deep Dive: Epicor Eclipse & 3dcart Integration Architecture

Our integration solution leverages the robust APIs of both Epicor Eclipse and 3dcart, orchestrated by a highly configurable iPaaS. This architecture ensures secure, scalable, and real-time data exchange, tailored to your specific business processes.

Data Flow Steps

**System Configuration:** Securely configure API credentials for both Epicor Eclipse and 3dcart within the iPaaS platform.

**Connector Setup:** Utilize pre-built or custom connectors for each system, establishing initial connectivity.

**Workflow Design:** Visually design integration flows (e.g., 'New 3dcart Order' -> 'Create Epicor Eclipse Sales Order') using a low-code canvas.

**Data Mapping & Transformation:** Map relevant fields between Epicor Eclipse and 3dcart entities. Apply transformation rules for data normalization, enrichment, and validation.

**Event & Trigger Configuration:** Define event sources (e.g., 3dcart webhooks for new orders) and schedule polling intervals for Epicor Eclipse data.

**Error Handling & Alerts:** Implement robust error handling, retry mechanisms, and notification systems for integration failures.

**Testing & Deployment:** Thoroughly test workflows in a sandbox environment, then deploy to production with version control and rollback capabilities.

**Monitoring & Governance:** Continuously monitor integration performance, data flow, and system health through centralized dashboards.

Data Touchpoints

**3dcart to Epicor Eclipse:** New Orders, Customer Registrations, Product Updates (if 3dcart is source of truth).
**Epicor Eclipse to 3dcart:** Inventory Levels, Product Information (SKUs, pricing, descriptions), Order Status Updates, Customer Updates.
**Bi-directional:** Customer Profiles, Product Attributes (in specific scenarios).

"The integration architecture centers around an iPaaS, acting as the intelligent hub. 3dcart (Shift4Shop) initiates data flows primarily via webhooks for real-time events like new orders or customer updates. Epicor Eclipse, a powerful ERP, typically exposes data through its API or database interfaces, which the iPaaS can poll or receive events from. The iPaaS orchestrates the transformation, routing, and synchronization of key entities (Orders, Products, Customers, Inventory, Payments) bi-directionally, ensuring data consistency and process automation."

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Data Mapping between Epicor Eclipse & 3dcart

Effective integration relies on precise mapping of core business entities. Our iPaaS provides a visual canvas and AI assistance to harmonize data between Epicor Eclipse's robust ERP structure and 3dcart's e-commerce entities.

Product

Represents an item available for sale in the 3dcart store, including its attributes, pricing, inventory, images, and categories, mapped to Epicor Eclipse's Item Master.

Epicor Eclipse Fields

Item ID Description Unit Price Cost Quantity On Hand Warehouse Product Group UPC Weight Tax Category Manufacturer

3dcart Fields

id SKU name price stock description images categories weight tax_code manufacturer

Mapping Notes

SKU in 3dcart typically maps to Item ID in Epicor Eclipse. Variants (size, color) in 3dcart require careful mapping to Epicor Eclipse's item configurations or separate SKUs. Images and rich descriptions often originate from a PIM or Epicor Eclipse and flow to 3dcart.

  2. 1 3dcart webhook sends order details to iPaaS.
  3. 2 iPaaS transforms and validates order data, then creates a Sales Order in Epicor Eclipse.
  4. 3 Epicor Eclipse processes the order, allocates inventory, and generates pick lists (or sends to WMS).
  5. 4 Upon shipment confirmation in Epicor Eclipse (or WMS), iPaaS captures tracking details and status.
  6. 5 iPaaS updates the order status and tracking information in 3dcart, triggering customer notifications.

Business Outcome

Accelerated order processing, reduced fulfillment errors, improved customer communication, and a more efficient supply chain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about integration implementation, security, and best practices.

General Integration FAQs

▸ What is the best way to integrate 3dcart with my Epicor Eclipse ERP system?
The most effective way is through a modern iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service). This approach enables API-first, event-driven connectivity, allowing for real-time synchronization of orders, inventory, customer data, and financial transactions. It provides robust data mapping, transformation, and orchestration capabilities specifically tailored for complex ERP-e-commerce integrations.

Workflow Automation FAQs

▸ Can I automate my 3dcart order fulfillment process with Epicor Eclipse?
Absolutely. By integrating 3dcart with Epicor Eclipse via an iPaaS, you can fully automate the entire order-to-fulfillment lifecycle. This includes automated order routing from 3dcart to Epicor Eclipse, real-time inventory allocation, shipping label generation (often via WMS integration), and automatic tracking number notifications back to 3dcart, significantly reducing manual effort and speeding up fulfillment.

Data Synchronization FAQs

▸ Does this solution support real-time inventory synchronization between Epicor Eclipse and 3dcart?
Yes, with an iPaaS and 3dcart's API/webhooks, you can achieve real-time or near real-time inventory synchronization. Any stock changes originating in Epicor Eclipse (e.g., new receipts, sales, returns) are immediately reflected in your 3dcart store, preventing overselling, improving customer satisfaction, and optimizing inventory management.
▸ What kind of data can I synchronize between Epicor Eclipse and 3dcart?
You can synchronize a wide range of data including: product catalogs (SKUs, descriptions, images, pricing), inventory levels, customer profiles, orders (status, line items, shipping), payment transactions, shipping information, categories, promotional data (coupons/discounts), and return information. The iPaaS allows for flexible configuration to sync virtually any data point available via API.

iPaaS Capabilities FAQs

▸ How can low-code tools help with Epicor Eclipse and 3dcart integrations?
Low-code tools within an iPaaS empower business users and citizen integrators to build and modify Epicor Eclipse and 3dcart integration workflows using intuitive visual interfaces, without extensive coding. This accelerates development, reduces reliance on IT, and allows for quicker adaptation to changing business needs and custom logic.

Challenges & Solutions FAQs

▸ What are the common challenges when integrating Epicor Eclipse and 3dcart, and how are they addressed?
Common challenges include complex data mapping between different system schemas, managing API rate limits, ensuring data consistency across multiple platforms, handling integration errors gracefully, and scaling integrations as transaction volumes grow. Our robust iPaaS addresses these by providing visual mapping, intelligent rate limit management, comprehensive error handling with retries and alerts, and a scalable, fault-tolerant architecture.

AI Enhancements FAQs

▸ Can AI enhance my Epicor Eclipse and 3dcart integrations?
Yes, AI can significantly enhance your integrations by providing automated data validation, intelligent field mapping suggestions, anomaly detection (e.g., suspicious orders, unusual inventory drops), and even autonomous exception handling. This leads to higher data quality, improved operational efficiency, and proactive problem-solving.

Security & Compliance FAQs

▸ How do I ensure data security and compliance (PCI DSS, GDPR) when integrating these systems?
Our solution prioritizes secure API key management (encrypted vaults, rotation), enforces HTTPS/TLS for all data in transit, implements robust access controls (RBAC) in the iPaaS, and ensures compliance with data protection regulations (GDPR, PCI DSS) by offering masking, encryption, and tokenization for sensitive data. Regular security audits and comprehensive audit trails are standard.
