Data Mapping

Key Entities & Field-Level Mappings for Wayfair and Kentico Integration

A successful integration hinges on accurate mapping and transformation of core business entities. Our iPaaS provides the tools to define granular field-level mappings, ensuring data integrity and consistency between Wayfair and Kentico.

Order

Represents a customer's purchase. Critical for fulfillment and financial reconciliation.

Wayfair Fields

[field, orderId],[type, string],[description, Unique Wayfair order identifier.] [field, orderDate],[type, datetime],[description, Date and time of order placement.] [field, customerInfo],[type, object],[description, Customer details (name, email, phone).] [field, shippingAddress],[type, object],[description, Shipping address details.] [field, lineItems],[type, array],[description, Array of purchased products and quantities.] [field, totalAmount],[type, decimal],[description, Total order value.] [field, fulfillmentStatus],[type, string],[description, Wayfair's status (e.g., 'Pending', 'Shipped').]

Kentico Fields

[field, OrderID],[type, int],[description, Unique Kentico order identifier.] [field, OrderDate],[type, datetime],[description, Date and time of order placement.] [field, CustomerGUID],[type, guid],[description, Reference to Kentico customer.] [field, ShippingAddress],[type, object],[description, Kentico shipping address.] [field, OrderItem],[type, array],[description, Line items in Kentico format.] [field, TotalPrice],[type, decimal],[description, Total order value.] [field, OrderStatus],[type, string],[description, Kentico's order status (e.g., 'New', 'Processing', 'Complete').]

Mapping Notes

Wayfair's `orderId` maps to a custom field or external order reference in Kentico. `customerInfo` and `shippingAddress` need to be parsed and mapped to Kentico's Customer and Address entities. `lineItems` require mapping to Kentico's `OrderItem` with SKU/ProductGUID lookup. Status mapping requires careful definition (e.g., Wayfair 'Shipped' to Kentico 'Complete').
