Technical Deep Dive: Sage 100 & Etsy Data Flow Architecture

Our integration solution leverages a robust iPaaS to orchestrate complex data flows between Sage 100 and Etsy. It's built on an API-first, event-driven architecture, ensuring secure, scalable, and real-time data synchronization.

Data Flow Steps

Connectivity: Secure, pre-built connectors establish authenticated connections to Sage 100 (via its Business Object Interface or ODBC wrapped by a connector) and Etsy (via OAuth 2.0).

Event Triggers: Etsy webhooks (e.g., `order:create`, `listing:update`) initiate real-time workflows. For Sage 100, changes are detected via API polling or event listeners if available.

Data Extraction: Raw data is pulled from the source system (e.g., `Etsy Order` JSON, Sage 100 `Sales Order` fields).

Transformation & Mapping: Data is transformed from the source schema to a canonical model, then mapped to the target system's schema using a visual drag-and-drop interface. AI assists in suggesting optimal mappings.

Validation: Data integrity checks, business rule validations (e.g., valid email, item code existence), and anomaly detection (AI-powered) ensure data quality.

Error Handling: Robust mechanisms with automated retries, exponential backoff, and dead-letter queues manage transient and persistent errors.

Data Delivery: Transformed and validated data is pushed to the target system via its respective API endpoint (e.g., `POST /SO/SalesOrder` for Sage 100, `PUT /v3/application/shops/:shop_id/listings` for Etsy).

Monitoring & Logging: All integration activities, data flows, and errors are logged and monitored via a centralized dashboard for complete observability.

Data Touchpoints

Etsy: Orders, Listings, Transactions, Payments, Users, Shipping Labels.
Sage 100: Sales Orders, Customers, Items (Inventory), Invoices, Payments, General Ledger Accounts, Shipments.

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Data Mapping

Understanding how core entities flow between Sage 100 and Etsy is crucial. Our iPaaS provides intelligent, visual mapping tools, augmented by AI, to ensure accurate and consistent data synchronization at the field level.

Sales Order / Etsy Order

Represents a customer's purchase. Etsy Orders are transformed into Sage 100 Sales Orders for fulfillment and accounting.

Etsy Fields

SalesOrderNo OrderDate CustomerNo ShipToAddress BillToAddress OrderStatus LineItems (ItemCode, QuantityOrdered, UnitPrice)

Sage 100 Fields

order_id receipt_id buyeruserid total_price currency_code status creation_tsz transactions (listing_id, quantity, price, variations)

Mapping Notes

Etsy's `receiptid` or `orderid` typically maps to a custom field on Sage 100 `Sales Order` for traceability. Buyer `user_id` maps to `CustomerNo`. `transactions` array maps to `LineItems`.

Real-time Etsy Order to Sage 100 Sales Order

A customer places an order on your Etsy shop. The iPaaS automatically captures the `Etsy Order` details, including `Etsy User` (buyer) and `Etsy Transaction` (line items). It then checks if the `Customer` exists in Sage 100; if not, a new one is created. Finally, a `Sales Order` is generated in Sage 100, deducting `Item` quantities and initiating the fulfillment process.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Etsy `order:create` webhook fires.
  2. 1 iPaaS extracts `receiptid`, `buyeruserid`, `totalprice`, `transactions`.
  3. 2 Sage 100 `Customer` record is created/updated based on `Etsy User` data (firstname, lastname, email, address).
  4. 3 Sage 100 `Sales Order` is generated, linking to the new/existing `Customer`.
  5. 4 Each `Etsy Transaction` maps to a `Sales Order Line Item`, referencing existing `Item` codes.
  6. 5 Sage 100 `Item` `QuantityOnHand` is decremented.

Business Outcome

Instantaneous order processing, accurate customer data in ERP, real-time inventory adjustment.

Technical Documentation

API Endpoints & Data Logic

Technical details for developers and architects.

Method Endpoint Purpose
GET, POST, PUT, DELETE /AR/Customer Manage customer records (creation, update, retrieval) for synchronizing Etsy buyers.
GET, POST, PUT /SO/SalesOrder Create, update, and retrieve sales orders from Etsy.
GET, PUT /CI/Item Retrieve product information and update inventory levels for Etsy listings.
GET, POST /AR/Invoice Create Accounts Receivable invoices linked to Etsy sales orders.
POST /GL/JournalEntry Post general ledger entries for Etsy financial reconciliation.
GET, POST, PUT /PO/PurchaseOrder Manage purchase orders (less direct for Etsy, but relevant for inventory replenishment).
GET /IM/Warehouse Retrieve warehouse information for inventory management.
POST, PUT /SO/Shipment Update shipment details to reflect fulfillment status (custom endpoint via connector).

Transformation Logic

  • Currency Conversion: Handle potential currency differences (Etsy supports multiple) and convert to Sage 100 base currency if needed.
  • Address Normalization: Standardize shipping and billing addresses from Etsy to match Sage 100 formats.
  • Item Code Mapping: Map Etsy `listing_id` or SKU to Sage 100 `ItemCode` using lookup tables or AI-assisted matching.
  • Customer Deduplication: Logic to prevent creating duplicate `Customer` records in Sage 100 based on `EmailAddress` or other unique identifiers.
  • GL Account Mapping: Define specific rules for mapping various `Etsy Payment` types (e.g., 'sale', 'fee', 'refund') to distinct `General Ledger Account` numbers in Sage 100.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • Invalid Item Code: Etsy `listing_id` does not match any `ItemCode` in Sage 100. (Solution: Flag for manual mapping, create placeholder item, or use default item).
  • Customer Already Exists: Attempt to create a new Sage 100 `Customer` when one with the same email already exists. (Solution: Update existing customer instead).
  • Etsy API Rate Limit Exceeded: Too many requests to Etsy. (Solution: iPaaS automatically queues and retries with exponential backoff).
  • Sage 100 Business Rule Violation: Attempt to post an `Invoice` with invalid `PaymentTerms`. (Solution: Flag error, revert transaction, notify user).
  • Network Connectivity Issues: Temporary loss of connection to either system. (Solution: Automated retries).

Support & Information

Frequently Asked Questions

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

General FAQs

What is the primary benefit of integrating Sage 100 with Etsy?
The primary benefit is automating critical business processes like order processing, inventory synchronization, and financial reconciliation. This eliminates manual data entry, reduces errors, saves time, and provides real-time visibility into your business performance, ultimately enabling scalable growth.

Order Management FAQs

How does the integration handle Etsy orders and create Sales Orders in Sage 100?
When a new order is placed on Etsy, an `order:create` webhook triggers our iPaaS. It automatically extracts order details, buyer information (`Etsy User`), and line items (`Etsy Transaction`). This data is then mapped, validated, and used to create a `Sales Order` and, if necessary, a new `Customer` record in Sage 100, all in near real-time.

Inventory Management FAQs

Can this solution prevent overselling on Etsy?
Absolutely. Our integration supports real-time or near real-time inventory synchronization. When `QuantityOnHand` for an `Item` changes in Sage 100 (e.g., due to a sale, receipt, or adjustment), the iPaaS automatically updates the corresponding `Etsy Listing` or `Etsy Listing Variation` quantity, preventing overselling.

Financials FAQs

How does the integration handle Etsy fees and payouts for Sage 100 accounting?
The iPaaS automates financial reconciliation by fetching `Etsy Payment` ledger entries (sales, fees, refunds). It categorizes these transactions and maps them to predefined `General Ledger Account` codes in Sage 100. Consolidated `GL/JournalEntry` records are then posted, providing accurate and timely financial reporting.

Technical FAQs

Is technical coding required to set up or modify these integrations?
No, our solution leverages a modern iPaaS with extensive low-code/no-code capabilities. Business users can visually design, build, and modify complex workflows using a drag-and-drop interface, significantly reducing reliance on IT development resources.

Security FAQs

What kind of security measures are in place for data transfer?
Security is paramount. We use OAuth 2.0 for Etsy authentication, store all credentials in encrypted vaults, enforce TLS 1.2+ for data in transit, and implement role-based access control (RBAC). The solution adheres to industry standards like SOC 2 and GDPR, ensuring PII protection and data integrity.

AI FAQs

How does AI enhance the Sage 100 and Etsy integration?
AI augments the integration with intelligent features like automated field mapping suggestions, anomaly detection for suspicious orders or financial discrepancies, proactive error resolution, and predictive insights for inventory management. This moves beyond simple automation to intelligent process optimization.

Scalability FAQs

Can I integrate multiple Etsy shops with one Sage 100 instance?
Yes, our iPaaS solution is designed to manage integrations for multiple Etsy shops. You can configure separate API credentials and workflows for each shop, or even consolidate data from multiple shops into a single Sage 100 instance, providing a unified view of your entire Etsy presence.
