The Challenge

The High Cost of Disconnected Systems: Epicor Kinetic & WooCommerce Silos

Without a robust integration, managing your Epicor Kinetic ERP and WooCommerce store as separate entities creates significant operational hurdles, leading to inefficiencies, errors, and missed opportunities.

  • Manual order entry from WooCommerce into Epicor Kinetic is slow and error-prone.
  • Inaccurate inventory levels lead to overselling, backorders, and frustrated customers.
  • Delayed financial reconciliation due to manual refund and payment processing.
  • Fragmented customer data across systems hinders personalized marketing and support.
  • Lack of real-time visibility into sales performance and stock availability.
  • High operational costs associated with manual data management and exception handling.

Technical Integration Details: Connecting Epicor Kinetic and WooCommerce

Our iPaaS solution provides a robust, secure, and flexible framework for connecting Epicor Kinetic and WooCommerce, leveraging best practices for API integration and event-driven architecture.

Data Flow Steps

**1. Connect Systems:** Establish secure connections to Epicor Kinetic via its REST API and WooCommerce using its REST API and webhooks. This involves configuring API keys and credentials within the iPaaS's secure vault.

**2. Define Data Models:** Utilize the iPaaS's visual interface to import and understand the data schemas for key entities (Orders, Products, Customers, Refunds) in both Epicor Kinetic and WooCommerce.

**3. Design Workflows:** Drag-and-drop pre-built components to construct integration flows. For example, 'WooCommerce Order Created' webhook -> 'Map Data' -> 'Create Epicor Kinetic Sales Order'.

**4. Map & Transform Data:** Visually map fields between the two systems. Apply data transformation rules (e.g., concatenate names, reformat addresses, lookup values) to ensure data consistency. AI-assisted mapping accelerates this process.

**5. Implement Business Logic:** Add conditional logic, branching, and error handling steps to workflows (e.g., 'if product SKU not found, create alert').

**6. Test & Validate:** Thoroughly test workflows in a sandbox environment, using sample data to ensure correct data flow and transformations. Leverage AI for automated test case generation and validation.

**7. Deploy & Monitor:** Deploy the integration to production. Monitor its performance and health via centralized dashboards, with alerts for any issues or anomalies.

Data Mapping

Key Entities and Field-Level Mapping between Epicor Kinetic and WooCommerce

Understanding how data entities and their fields map is crucial for a successful integration. Our iPaaS provides a visual canvas to define these mappings with precision, augmented by AI for faster, more accurate configuration.

Order / Sales Order

Represents a customer's purchase in WooCommerce, mapping to a sales order in Epicor Kinetic for processing.

Epicor Kinetic Fields

OrderNum (PK) CustNum (FK) OrderDate ShipToNum (FK) BillToNum (FK) OrderLine (Array): PartNum (FK), OrderQty, UnitPrice, DiscountAmt TotalOrder TaxAmt FreightAmt OrderStatus

WooCommerce Fields

id (PK) customer_id (FK) date_created billing (object) shipping (object) line_items (Array): product_id (FK), quantity, price, subtotal total total_tax shipping_total status payment_method transaction_id

Mapping Notes

WooCommerce `id` maps to a custom reference field in Epicor Kinetic (e.g., `ExternalRefNum`) and `OrderNum` is generated by Epicor. Customer details from `billing` and `shipping` objects are used to find/create `CustNum` and `ShipToNum`/`BillToNum`. `line_items` are mapped to `OrderLine` items, matching `product_id` (or `sku`) to `PartNum`. `shipping_total` maps to `FreightAmt`. `total_tax` maps to `TaxAmt`. Status mapping requires a lookup table (e.g., 'processing' -> 'Open', 'completed' -> 'Invoiced').

API Endpoints & Data Logic

Technical details for developers and architects.

Method Endpoint Purpose

Transformation Logic

  • **Conditional Logic:** If WooCommerce `customer_id` doesn't exist in Epicor Kinetic, create new customer. Else, update existing.
