Infor CloudSuite & 3dcart Integration: Technical Overview

This integration leverages a robust iPaaS to orchestrate data flows between Infor CloudSuite's comprehensive ERP capabilities and 3dcart's powerful eCommerce platform. The architecture is designed for scalability, real-time performance, and data integrity, utilizing event-driven triggers and secure API communication.

Data Flow Steps

**Connect to Systems**: Establish secure, authenticated connections to Infor CloudSuite (via Infor ION APIs, M3/LN APIs, FMS APIs) and 3dcart APIs using pre-built iPaaS connectors.

**Define Triggers**: Configure event listeners for 3dcart webhooks (e.g., `Order Created`, `Customer Updated`) and Infor CloudSuite ION events (e.g., `Sales Order Status Change`, `Inventory Level Updated`). For entities without webhooks/events, establish scheduled polling mechanisms.

**Data Extraction**: Extract relevant data payloads from the source system (e.g., 3dcart `Order` JSON, Infor CloudSuite `SalesOrder` XML/JSON).

**Data Transformation & Mapping**: Utilize the iPaaS visual mapping canvas to transform source data schemas into the target system's required format. AI-assisted mapping suggests optimal field matches and data types. Apply business logic and data cleansing rules.

**Data Validation**: Implement pre-ingestion validation rules (e.g., required fields, data type checks, AI-driven anomaly detection) to ensure data quality before writing to the target system.

**Target System Ingestion**: Use the target system's APIs to create or update records (e.g., `POST /infor/m3/api/v1/salesorders`, `PUT /api/v2/Products`). Implement batching for bulk operations and manage API rate limits.

**Error Handling & Retries**: Configure automated retry mechanisms with exponential backoff for transient failures. Route persistent errors to dead-letter queues for manual review and re-processing. Trigger alerts for critical failures.

**Confirmation & Status Updates**: Update the source system with relevant IDs or status changes (e.g., 3dcart `Order` status updated to 'Processed' with Infor CloudSuite `SalesOrderNumber`).

**Monitoring & Auditing**: Centralized logging, performance dashboards, and audit trails provide end-to-end visibility into all integration activities and data flows.

Data Touchpoints

3dcart: Orders, Products, Customers, Inventory, Payments, Shipments, Categories, Coupons, Returns, Taxes.

Automated eCommerce Order Processing

When a customer places an order on your 3dcart store, the integration instantly creates a corresponding sales order in Infor CloudSuite. This triggers inventory allocation, fulfillment processes, and ensures the financial record is updated without any manual intervention.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Customer checks out on 3dcart.
  2. 1 3dcart webhook sends order details to iPaaS.
  3. 2 iPaaS maps 3dcart `Order` and `Customer` data to Infor CloudSuite `Sales Order` and `Customer` (creating new if needed).
  4. 3 Infor CloudSuite receives the `Sales Order` for processing.
  5. 4 Infor SCM updates `Shipment` status, which iPaaS pushes back to 3dcart `Shipment`.
  6. 5 Infor FMS creates `Invoice` and processes `Payment`, updating 3dcart `Order` status.

Business Outcome

Reduced order fulfillment time, improved order accuracy, enhanced customer satisfaction through timely updates, and optimized inventory allocation.
