Unlock Seamless eCommerce Finance: Integrate Kashflow with Sitecore

Automate Order-to-Invoice, Sync Customer Data, and Reconcile Payments in Real-time for Unprecedented Efficiency and Accuracy.

The Challenge

The High Cost of Disconnected eCommerce & Accounting

Running a Sitecore-powered eCommerce business without a robust integration to Kashflow creates significant operational bottlenecks and financial risks. Manual data transfer between your sales platform and accounting system is slow, error-prone, and scales poorly.

  • Manual creation of Sales Invoices in Kashflow from Sitecore orders.
  • Inconsistent customer data across your eCommerce and accounting platforms.
  • Delayed or inaccurate financial reporting due to batch processing or human error.
  • Time-consuming reconciliation of payments from your payment gateway into Kashflow.
  • Risk of overselling or underselling due to outdated inventory levels.
  • Lack of real-time visibility into your eCommerce business's financial health.

Deep Dive: Kashflow & Sitecore Integration Architecture

Our integration solution orchestrates data flow between Kashflow and Sitecore through a robust, event-driven iPaaS. This architecture ensures secure, scalable, and real-time synchronization of critical business data.

Data Flow Steps

Event Trigger: A business event occurs in either Sitecore (e.g., new order, customer update) or Kashflow (e.g., new customer, product update).

iPaaS Ingestion: The iPaaS captures this event via webhooks or API polling.

Data Transformation: Raw data from the source system is mapped, validated, and transformed into a canonical format suitable for the target system, leveraging AI-assisted mapping.

Business Logic: Conditional rules, data enrichment, and custom logic are applied within the iPaaS workflow.

Target System API Call: The iPaaS invokes the target system's API (Kashflow or Sitecore) to create, update, or retrieve records.

Error Handling & Monitoring: Any failures are logged, retried with exponential backoff, and alerts are sent to relevant teams. Successes are logged for auditing.

Confirmation/Update: The target system confirms the operation, and potentially triggers a reciprocal update back to the source system (for bidirectional syncs).

Data Touchpoints

Sitecore: Order, Customer/Contact, Product, Cart, Payment Transaction, Inventory Item
Kashflow: Customer, Sales Invoice, Purchase Invoice, Payment, Product/Service, Bank Transaction

"The integration flow typically starts with an event in Sitecore (e.g., 'New Order'). This event is captured by the iPaaS via a webhook. The iPaaS then processes, maps, and transforms the Sitecore Order data into a Kashflow Sales Invoice format. It interacts with Kashflow's /v2/customers endpoint to ensure customer existence, and then uses /v2/invoices to create the new Sales Invoice. For bidirectional synchronization, such as Customer data, updates in Kashflow would trigger a similar flow back to Sitecore's xConnect or Commerce Customer APIs."

Integrating Kashflow fosters greater efficiency and data accuracy. Automate your critical business processes to deliver consistently outstanding results.

Hover over the steps on the right to see detailed integration points.
Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Data Mapping

Effective integration hinges on precise mapping of entities and fields between Kashflow and Sitecore. Our iPaaS provides a visual, AI-assisted canvas to define these mappings, ensuring data integrity and consistency.

Customer

Represents the client in Kashflow and the Contact/Customer in Sitecore.

Kashflow Fields

CustomerID Name ContactName Email Address1 Postcode Telephone AccountReference

Sitecore Fields

CustomerId Email FirstName LastName Address Phone MarketingOptInStatus LastActivityDate

Mapping Notes

Map Sitecore FirstName + LastName to Kashflow Name. Ensure a unique `AccountReference` in Kashflow that can be populated from Sitecore's CustomerId or Email for cross-system lookup. Address fields require careful harmonization.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Automation FAQs

How does this integration automate my eCommerce order processing?
Our iPaaS automatically captures new orders from Sitecore (via webhooks) and converts them into Sales Invoices in Kashflow in real-time. This includes customer creation, line item mapping, and tax calculations, eliminating manual data entry.

Data Sync FAQs

Can I synchronize customer data between Sitecore and Kashflow?
Yes, the integration supports bidirectional synchronization of customer and contact data. New customers from Sitecore are created in Kashflow, and updates from either system (e.g., address changes) are reflected in the other, ensuring a unified customer view.

Finance FAQs

How are payments from Sitecore reconciled in Kashflow?
Upon successful payment confirmation from Sitecore's integrated payment gateway, the iPaaS automatically posts a 'Payment' against the corresponding 'Sales Invoice' in Kashflow, marking it as paid. This significantly streamlines your bank reconciliation process.
Does this solution handle different tax rates and currencies?
Absolutely. The iPaaS's advanced data transformation capabilities allow you to map Sitecore's tax classifications to Kashflow's tax rates and handle multi-currency transactions, ensuring accurate financial postings regardless of complexity.

eCommerce FAQs

What about inventory synchronization between Sitecore and Kashflow?
The integration can synchronize product details and inventory levels. Updates to Kashflow's 'Product/Service' (especially 'StockQuantity') or a connected PIM/ERP are pushed to Sitecore's 'Product' and 'Inventory Item' entities, ensuring your eCommerce site displays accurate stock availability.

Technical FAQs

How does an iPaaS manage Kashflow and Sitecore API rate limits?
Our iPaaS is designed to intelligently manage API rate limits. It employs strategies like request queuing, exponential backoff for retries, and batching operations where supported, ensuring your integrations run smoothly without hitting limits or overwhelming the APIs.

Security FAQs

What are the security considerations for this integration?
Security is paramount. The integration uses OAuth 2.0 for secure API access, enforces TLS 1.2+ encryption for data in transit, and encrypts sensitive data at rest. We adhere to standards like GDPR and PCI DSS, implement least privilege access, and provide comprehensive audit trails.

Customization FAQs

Can I customize the integration workflows to fit my specific business rules?
Yes, our low-code/no-code iPaaS platform provides a visual interface and a powerful rules engine, allowing you to easily customize integration workflows, data mappings, and transformation logic to align perfectly with your unique business processes without needing to write code.
