Automate financial workflows, streamline expense reporting, and gain real-time visibility into your NopCommerce operational costs with a powerful iPaaS.
Connecting with Clarity Connect™
Clarity Connect™ links SAP Concur and NopCommerce through automation and data sharing. Integrating these platforms benefits businesses by streamlining processes and connecting front-end and back-end systems.
Considerations when connecting these applications include security, performance, and physical access. We support both SaaS (Cloud) and On-Premises connection types.
Seamless Integration
Our middleware platform ensures robust and reliable data transfer between SAP Concur and NopCommerce.
Comprehensive Solution Details
Robust Integration Architecture for Scalability, Security & Agility
At the heart of this integration is a modern Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS), serving as the central nervous system. This architecture ensures secure, scalable, and resilient data exchange between NopCommerce and SAP Concur, while enabling rapid development and customization through low-code and AI.
Data Flow Steps
Event-Driven Architecture: Utilize NopCommerce webhooks for real-time order and customer updates, minimizing polling and latency.
API-First Connectivity: Rely exclusively on the robust APIs of both NopCommerce and Concur for secure and structured data exchange.
Canonical Data Model: Define a standardized intermediate data structure within the iPaaS to simplify mapping between disparate schemas.
Microservices-based iPaaS: Leverage the modularity of iPaaS components for independent scaling and resilience of integration flows.
Idempotent Integrations: Design workflows to ensure that repeated processing of the same message yields the same result, preventing data duplication.
Data Touchpoints
"A conceptual diagram would show NopCommerce on one side, SAP Concur on the other, with the iPaaS in the middle. The iPaaS layer would include: Event Listener/Webhook Handler (for NopCommerce), API Gateway, Data Transformation Engine (with AI/ML services), Workflow Orchestration Engine, Monitoring & Logging, and Connectors for both systems and downstream ERP/HRIS. Event flows would be depicted from NopCommerce to iPaaS to Concur, and then to ERP."

Automated Employee Expense Reporting for NopCommerce Purchases
When employees make approved business-related purchases on an internal or external NopCommerce store (e.g., office supplies, branded merchandise, MRO items), the order details are automatically captured and transformed into a draft expense report in SAP Concur.
Integration Steps:
- 0 Employee places an order on NopCommerce for a business-related item.
- 1 NopCommerce 'Order Placed' event is triggered and captured by the iPaaS.
- 2 iPaaS extracts relevant order details (items, total, date, purchaser) and the order confirmation/invoice.
- 3 AI within the iPaaS suggests appropriate Concur Expense Types and GL Account codes.
- 4 A new Expense Entry and/or draft Expense Report is automatically created in SAP Concur for the employee, with the NopCommerce order confirmation attached as a digital receipt.
- 5 The Concur expense follows the standard approval workflow, ready for reimbursement and ERP posting.
Business Outcome
Significantly reduces manual expense report creation, accelerates reimbursement cycles, improves data accuracy, and ensures compliance with company spending policies for eCommerce purchases.

API Endpoints & Data Logic
Technical details for developers and architects.
⚡ Transformation Logic
- Currency Conversion: Automatically convert NopCommerce order currency to Concur's base currency if different.
- Date Formatting: Standardize date and time formats (e.g., NopCommerce UTC to Concur's required format).
- Status Mapping: Map NopCommerce 'OrderStatus' to relevant Concur 'Expense Status' or 'Invoice Status' codes.
- GL Code Derivation: Apply business rules and AI suggestions to derive 'GLAccountCode' based on NopCommerce 'Product Category', 'SKU', or 'Description'.
- Cost Center Assignment: Assign 'CostCenter' based on the Concur 'User/Employee's department or configured NopCommerce project rules.
- Receipt Generation: Convert NopCommerce order confirmation into a standard receipt format (e.g., PDF) for Concur attachment.
🛡️ Error Handling
- NopCommerce API rate limits exceeded (handled by iPaaS queuing/batching).
- Concur API authentication failures (trigger alerts for credential review).
- Data validation errors (e.g., missing required fields, invalid formats) during transformation.
- Network connectivity issues between iPaaS and either system (handled by retries).
- Semantic errors (e.g., employee not found in Concur for a NopCommerce order).
- Policy violations flagged by Concur during expense submission.
