The Challenge

The Disconnect: Why Manual Epicor-X-Cart Operations Slow Your Business

Mid-market businesses often struggle with fragmented data and manual processes between their Epicor ERP and X-Cart eCommerce platform. This disconnect leads to operational bottlenecks, costly errors, and a poor customer experience, hindering growth and profitability.

  • Manual order entry from X-Cart into Epicor is time-consuming and error-prone.
  • Outdated inventory on X-Cart leads to overselling, backorders, and dissatisfied customers.
  • Inconsistent product data across systems causes confusion and operational inefficiencies.
  • Delayed financial reconciliation due to manual payment processing.
  • Lack of a unified customer view impedes personalized marketing and service efforts.
  • Reliance on IT for every integration change creates development backlogs.

Technical Integration Details: Epicor & X-Cart Connectivity

Our iPaaS provides a robust, secure, and scalable framework for integrating Epicor and X-Cart. It leverages the strengths of both platforms' APIs and webhook capabilities to ensure efficient and reliable data exchange.

Data Flow Steps

Secure Connection Setup: Establish authenticated connections to Epicor (OAuth 2.0) and X-Cart (API Key/OAuth) via dedicated iPaaS connectors.

Event Listener/Polling Configuration: Configure X-Cart webhooks (`order.created`, `customer.updated`, `product.updated`) for real-time triggers. For Epicor, utilize BPMs for outbound events or configure intelligent polling for specific entity changes.

Data Extraction: iPaaS retrieves relevant data from the source system (e.g., X-Cart Order payload, Epicor Part records).

AI-Assisted Mapping & Transformation: Data is mapped from the source schema to the target schema using a visual editor, augmented by AI suggestions for complex fields and transformations.

Data Validation: Apply pre-defined and AI-suggested validation rules to ensure data quality and prevent errors before ingestion into the target system.

Data Ingestion: Transformed and validated data is sent to the target system's API endpoint (e.g., Epicor SalesOrder, X-Cart Product) for creation or update.

Error Handling & Monitoring: Implement retry logic, dead-letter queues, and real-time alerts for any failed transactions, visible in a centralized monitoring dashboard.

Status Updates: Synchronize status changes back to the source system (e.g., Epicor Sales Order status to X-Cart Order status).

Data Touchpoints

X-Cart: Order, Product, Customer, Inventory Item, Payment Transaction, Refund
Epicor: SalesOrder, Customer, Part, Invoice (AR Invoice), CashReceipt, JobHead, ShipVia

"The integration architecture features a central iPaaS acting as the orchestrator. X-Cart initiates workflows via webhooks (e.g., new order), sending data to the iPaaS. The iPaaS processes, maps, and validates this data (with AI assistance), then pushes it to Epicor's REST APIs (e.g., create SalesOrder). Conversely, changes in Epicor (e.g., inventory update) are detected by Epicor BPMs or iPaaS polling, pulled into the iPaaS, transformed, and pushed to X-Cart's APIs. All data flows are secured with HTTPS/TLS and monitored end-to-end."

Mapping Notes

X-Cart `order_id` is typically mapped to Epicor `PONum` or a custom UD field for traceability. X-Cart `items` array maps to Epicor `OrderDtl`. Shipping and billing addresses from X-Cart are mapped to Epicor ShipTo/BillTo records. Order statuses require careful bidirectional mapping and transformation (e.g., X-Cart 'Processed' might map to Epicor 'Open' or 'Processing').
