Deep Dive into Sage 300 & 3dcart Integration Architecture

Our iPaaS acts as the central nervous system for your Sage 300 and 3dcart integration, orchestrating complex data flows, transformations, and business logic. It ensures secure, scalable, and resilient connectivity, bridging the gap between your on-premise ERP and cloud eCommerce platform.

Data Flow Steps

Connection Establishment: Secure API keys and credentials for 3dcart, and dedicated service accounts for Sage 300 (via on-premise agent or direct database adapter) are securely managed within the iPaaS.

Event & Trigger Configuration: Webhooks are set up in 3dcart (e.g., for new orders, customer updates) to push real-time data to the iPaaS. For Sage 300, frequent polling, database Change Data Capture (CDC), or SDK event listeners are used.

Data Extraction & Ingestion: The iPaaS extracts raw data from the source system (e.g., 3dcart Order JSON, Sage 300 Sales Order records).

Schema Mapping & Transformation: A visual mapping canvas allows for drag-and-drop field mapping. Complex transformations (e.g., currency conversion, address standardization, item code lookup) are applied using low-code functions. AI assists in suggesting optimal mappings and validating data types.

Business Logic & Orchestration: Workflows are designed to apply business rules (e.g., customer credit checks, inventory allocation logic), route data, and orchestrate multi-step processes across both systems.

Data Validation & Error Handling: Incoming data is validated against predefined rules and Sage 300's schema. Robust error handling includes automated retries with exponential backoff, dead-letter queues, and real-time alerts.

Data Delivery & Update: Transformed and validated data is pushed to the target system's API endpoints (e.g., Sage 300 OE/OESOH for Sales Orders, 3dcart Products for inventory updates).

Confirmation & Logging: Successful transactions are logged, and status updates (e.g., Sage 300 Sales Order ID back to 3dcart) are synchronized. Comprehensive audit trails are maintained.

Data Touchpoints

3dcart: Orders, Products, Customers, Inventory, Shipments
Sage 300: Sales Orders, Inventory Items, Customers, Invoices, Payments, General Ledger Entries

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Mapping between Sage 300 and 3dcart

Effective integration relies on precise mapping of core business entities. Our iPaaS provides a visual canvas, augmented by AI, to define how data flows and transforms between Sage 300 and 3dcart, ensuring data integrity and consistency.

Order / Sales Order

Represents a customer's purchase in 3dcart and the corresponding sales order in Sage 300.

Sage 300 Fields

OrderNumber OrderDate CustomerID ShipToAddress PaymentTerms CurrencyCode TotalAmount LineItems (ItemNumber, Quantity, UnitPrice, Discount)

3dcart Fields

order_id customer_id order_status total shipping_address payment_status items (product_id, SKU, quantity, price)

Mapping Notes

3dcart's 'order_id' maps to a custom field or the 'Customer PO Number' in Sage 300 Sales Order Header. 3dcart 'items' are mapped to Sage 300 'LineItems', requiring SKU matching and price conversion. Shipping and tax amounts from 3dcart need to be mapped to specific line items or header fields in Sage 300, potentially requiring GL account mapping.
