Kentico & QuickBooks Integration: Technical Overview

Our iPaaS-driven integration between Kentico and QuickBooks leverages a modern, API-first approach, ensuring secure, scalable, and real-time data synchronization. We prioritize event-driven architecture where possible, combined with intelligent batching for high-volume operations, to optimize performance and data consistency.

Data Flow Steps

Establish Secure Connectivity: Configure OAuth 2.0 authentication for both Kentico and QuickBooks APIs within the iPaaS's secure credential vault.

Define Data Flows & Triggers: Design visual workflows for key processes like Order-to-Cash, Customer Sync, and Inventory updates, specifying event triggers (Kentico webhooks) or scheduled polling (QuickBooks).

Map Entities & Fields: Use the iPaaS's drag-and-drop mapping canvas to define precise field-level transformations between Kentico entities (e.g., Order, Customer, Product) and QuickBooks entities (e.g., Invoice, Customer, Item).

Implement Business Logic & Validation: Add low-code transformation rules, conditional logic, and AI-powered data validation to ensure data quality and compliance with business requirements (e.g., tax calculations, discount application).

Configure Error Handling & Monitoring: Set up intelligent retry mechanisms, dead-letter queues, and real-time alerts within the iPaaS for robust error management.

Test & Deploy: Rigorously test integration flows in sandbox environments, then promote changes through Dev -> QA -> Prod pipelines with version control.

Monitor & Optimize: Continuously monitor integration performance, API usage, and data volumes through centralized dashboards, optimizing flows as needed.

Data Touchpoints

Kentico Order <-> QuickBooks Invoice/SalesReceipt
Kentico OrderItem <-> QuickBooks Line Item
Kentico Customer <-> QuickBooks Customer
Kentico Product/ProductVariant <-> QuickBooks Item
Kentico Inventory <-> QuickBooks Item (QtyOnHand)
Kentico Payment <-> QuickBooks Payment

"The integration architecture places the iPaaS as the central orchestrator. Kentico, as the eCommerce frontend, sends event data (e.g., new orders, customer updates) via webhooks to the iPaaS. The iPaaS then processes, transforms, and routes this data to QuickBooks via its APIs, creating invoices, sales receipts, or updating customer records. Conversely, updates from QuickBooks (e.g., inventory levels, new items) are retrieved by the iPaaS (via polling or webhooks if available) and pushed to Kentico to maintain data consistency. All communication is secured via HTTPS/TLS and OAuth 2.0."

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Field-Level Mappings

Understanding how core entities map between Kentico and QuickBooks is fundamental to a successful integration. Our iPaaS provides visual tools and AI assistance to define these mappings, ensuring data integrity and consistency.

Order / Invoice / SalesReceipt

A customer's purchase in Kentico becomes a financial transaction in QuickBooks.

Kentico Fields

[field, OrderID],[description, Unique identifier for the order] [field, OrderDate],[description, Date of purchase] [field, OrderStatus],[description, Current status (Pending, Processing, Shipped)] [field, CustomerGUID],[description, Link to Kentico Customer] [field, BillingAddress],[description, Customer's billing address] [field, ShippingAddress],[description, Customer's shipping address] [field, TotalPrice],[description, Total amount of the order] [field, CurrencyCode],[description, Currency of the order] [field, OrderItem (nested)],[description, Individual products purchased]

QuickBooks Enterprise Fields

[field, CustomerRef.value],[description, Reference to QuickBooks Customer] [field, TxnDate],[description, Transaction date] [field, DueDate (Invoice)],[description, Payment due date] [field, TotalAmt],[description, Total amount of invoice/receipt] [field, PrivateNote],[description, Internal notes, often used for Kentico OrderID] [field, Line (nested)],[description, Individual line items of the invoice/receipt]

Mapping Notes

Kentico 'OrderID' is typically mapped to QuickBooks 'PrivateNote' or a custom field for traceability. 'OrderStatus' from Kentico needs careful transformation to QuickBooks' transaction status. Billing/Shipping addresses are mapped from Kentico's 'Address' entity to QuickBooks 'BillAddr' and 'ShipAddr' fields within the Customer or Transaction.

This triggers immediate fulfillment processes and ensures accurate financial records without any manual intervention.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Kentico: New 'Order' placed by 'Customer'.
  2. 1 iPaaS: Webhook from Kentico triggers 'Order' processing.
  3. 2 iPaaS: Maps 'Customer' data (FirstName, LastName, Email, BillingAddress) to QuickBooks 'Customer' fields (DisplayName, PrimaryEmailAddr, BillAddr). Creates new or updates existing 'Customer' in QuickBooks.
  4. 3 iPaaS: Maps Kentico 'Order' and 'OrderItem' data (SKU, ProductName, Quantity, UnitPrice, TotalPrice) to QuickBooks 'Invoice' or 'SalesReceipt' fields (CustomerRef, Line.SalesItemLineDetail.ItemRef, Line.Amount, TotalAmt).
  5. 4 QuickBooks: 'Invoice'/'SalesReceipt' is created, 'Item' inventory is decremented.
  6. 5 Kentico: Order status can be updated based on QuickBooks processing status.
