The Challenge

The Disconnect: Why Manual Volusion & Epicor Operations Hinder Growth

Operating Volusion and Epicor in silos creates a chasm between your customer-facing eCommerce activities and your critical back-office ERP functions. This disconnect leads to a cascade of operational inefficiencies, missed opportunities, and escalating costs.

  • Manual order entry from Volusion into Epicor is slow, error-prone, and resource-intensive.
  • Outdated inventory levels in Volusion lead to overselling, backorders, and dissatisfied customers.
  • Fragmented customer data across systems prevents personalized experiences and unified support.
  • Delayed financial reconciliation due to manual payment posting and invoice generation in Epicor.
  • Inconsistent product information across your storefront and ERP causes confusion and operational friction.
  • Lack of real-time visibility into sales, inventory, and fulfillment status across the business.

Technical Integration Details: How Volusion & Epicor Connect

Our iPaaS platform provides the robust framework for connecting Volusion and Epicor, leveraging their respective API capabilities to facilitate seamless, real-time data exchange and workflow automation.

Data Flow Steps

Connection Establishment: Securely authenticate with Volusion using API Keys and Epicor using OAuth 2.0 (Client Credentials Grant) or token-based authentication.

Event Listener Configuration: Set up Volusion webhooks (e.g., for `Order` creation, `Product` updates) to trigger iPaaS workflows instantly. For Epicor, configure Business Process Management (BPM) events to push data changes or poll Epicor APIs for relevant updates.

Data Extraction: Retrieve source data from Volusion via `/api/v1/orders`, `/api/v1/products`, `/api/v1/customers` or from Epicor via `/api/v2/odata/YourCompany/Erp.BO.SalesOrderSvc/SalesOrders`, `/api/v2/odata/YourCompany/Erp.BO.PartSvc/Parts` endpoints.

Data Transformation & Harmonization: Utilize the iPaaS's visual mapping canvas to transform Volusion's data schema (e.g., `OrderID`, `LineItems`) into Epicor's (e.g., `PONum`, `OrderDtl`) and vice-versa. Apply complex business rules, data type conversions, and enrichment logic.

Data Validation: Implement AI-powered and rule-based validation to ensure data integrity before submission to the target system, preventing malformed or incomplete records.

Target System Ingestion: Push the transformed and validated data to the target system using appropriate API methods (POST for creation, PUT/PATCH for updates). For example, creating an Epicor `SalesOrder` or updating Volusion `Inventory`.

Error Handling & Monitoring: Implement automated retry mechanisms, dead-letter queues for persistent failures, and real-time alerts. Monitor integration health and data flow through centralized dashboards.

Data Touchpoints

Volusion: Order, Product, Customer, Inventory, Payment, Shipment, Category, Return
Epicor: SalesOrder, Part, Customer, Invoice (AR), CashReceipt, JobHead, GLAccount, ShipVia

"Volusion (Webhooks: Order, Customer, Product) --> iPaaS (Connectors, Data Mapper, AI Engine, Workflow Orchestrator) <--> Epicor (REST APIs: SalesOrder, Part, Customer, CashReceipt, BPMs) --> Back to Volusion (API: Order Status, Inventory, Shipment)."

Data Mapping

Core Entities & Intelligent Mapping for Volusion Epicor Integration

Seamless data flow between Volusion and Epicor relies on precise mapping and transformation of key business entities. Our iPaaS facilitates this with visual tools and AI assistance.

Order / SalesOrder

Represents a customer's purchase in Volusion and its corresponding sales record in Epicor.

Volusion Fields

OrderID CustomerID OrderDate OrderStatus TotalAmount PaymentStatus ShippingAddress BillingAddress LineItems (ProductID, SKU, Quantity, Price) Coupon/Discount

Epicor Fields

OrderNum OrderDate CustNum ShipToNum PONum OrderAmt OrderStatus NeedByDate OrderDtl (PartNum, OrderQty, UnitPrice) TermsCode

Mapping Notes

`OrderID` from Volusion often maps to Epicor `PONum` or a custom `Character01` field. Volusion `SKU` maps to Epicor `PartNum`. `OrderStatus` requires careful mapping (e.g., 'Processing' to 'Open', 'Shipped' to 'Shipped'). Line item details are crucial for accurate fulfillment.

Volusion Order to Epicor Sales Order Automation

Automatically transfer new orders from Volusion to Epicor Sales Order Entry in real-time, triggering fulfillment processes without manual intervention.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Customer completes checkout on Volusion.
  2. 1 Volusion Order webhook (api/v1/orders) fires to iPaaS.
  3. 2 iPaaS maps Volusion Order (OrderID, LineItems, CustomerID, ShippingAddress) to Epicor SalesOrder (OrderNum, OrderDtl, CustNum, ShipToNum).
  4. 3 iPaaS creates new SalesOrder in Epicor via `/api/v2/odata/YourCompany/Erp.BO.SalesOrderSvc/SalesOrders` endpoint.
  5. 4 Epicor processes the Sales Order, allocates inventory (Part), and initiates shipping.
  6. 5 Epicor (or integrated WMS) updates the Sales Order status, which iPaaS pushes back to Volusion (api/v1/orders, OrderStatus).
  7. 6 Volusion sends shipment tracking information to the customer (Shipment entity).

Business Outcome

Instantaneous order processing, elimination of order entry errors, significantly faster shipping times, and continuous customer communication.
