The Challenge

The Challenge of Disconnected eCommerce & Content Platforms

Operating X-Cart and Kentico in silos creates significant operational inefficiencies, data inconsistencies, and a fragmented customer experience. Businesses struggle to keep their product catalogs, inventory levels, and customer information synchronized across platforms, leading to costly errors and missed opportunities.

  • Manual data entry between X-Cart and Kentico is time-consuming and prone to errors.
  • Inconsistent product information and pricing across your store and content pages confuse customers and hurt SEO.
  • Delayed order processing due to manual transfers impacts fulfillment times and customer satisfaction.
  • Fragmented customer data prevents personalized marketing and a unified customer service experience.
  • Lack of real-time inventory updates leads to overselling and stockouts, damaging brand reputation.
  • Difficulty in launching dynamic promotions or content updates simultaneously across both platforms.

Technical Integration Details: X-Cart & Kentico via iPaaS

Integrating X-Cart and Kentico leverages robust API capabilities from both platforms, orchestrated by a powerful iPaaS. This ensures secure, scalable, and real-time data exchange, enabling complex business logic and workflow automation without extensive custom coding.

Data Flow Steps

1. Connect Systems: Establish secure connections to X-Cart and Kentico using their respective APIs (OAuth 2.0 / API Keys) and pre-built iPaaS connectors.

2. Define Triggers: Configure X-Cart and Kentico webhooks (e.g., `order.created`, `product.updated`, `customer.registered`, `ContentItem.published`) within the iPaaS to initiate workflows in real-time.

3. Map & Transform Data: Visually map fields between X-Cart and Kentico entities, and apply advanced transformation logic (e.g., status mapping, currency conversion, data enrichment) using the iPaaS's low-code interface.

4. Orchestrate Workflows: Design end-to-end business processes (e.g., Order-to-Fulfillment) involving multiple systems (ERP, CRM, WMS) using drag-and-drop workflow builders.

5. Implement Business Logic: Add conditional branching, loops, and custom scripts (if needed) to handle specific business rules and exceptions.

6. Test & Deploy: Utilize sandbox environments for thorough testing of all integration flows. Promote validated workflows through Dev -> QA -> Prod pipelines with version control.

7. Monitor & Optimize: Continuously monitor integration performance, data flow, and error logs via the iPaaS dashboard, with proactive alerts for critical issues.

Data Touchpoints

X-Cart Order <-> Kentico Order (for visibility)
X-Cart Product <-> Kentico Product
X-Cart Customer <-> Kentico Customer
X-Cart Inventory Item <-> Kentico Inventory
X-Cart Category <-> Kentico ContentItem (for merchandising)
X-Cart Payment Transaction <-> Kentico Payment
X-Cart Coupon/Discount <-> Kentico CouponCode

"A typical integration flow begins with an event in either X-Cart or Kentico (e.g., a new X-Cart order or a published Kentico content item). This event triggers an iPaaS workflow via a webhook. The iPaaS then retrieves relevant data, applies necessary transformations and business logic, and pushes the harmonized data to the target system(s) (e.g., Kentico, ERP, CRM, or X-Cart itself). Confirmation and status updates flow back as needed."

Data Mapping

Key Data Entities & Harmonization for X-Cart and Kentico

Effective integration hinges on robust mapping and transformation of common data entities between X-Cart and Kentico. Our iPaaS facilitates this by providing visual mapping tools, AI assistance, and powerful transformation capabilities to ensure data integrity and consistency.

Order

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

X-Cart Fields

order_id customer_id status total currency order_date payment_status shipping_status billing_address shipping_address

Kentico Fields

OrderID OrderDate OrderStatus CustomerGUID TotalPrice CurrencyCode BillingAddress ShippingAddress

Mapping Notes

Mapping Order IDs is crucial. Status values (e.g., 'Processing', 'Shipped', 'Cancelled') often differ and require explicit transformation rules. Both systems capture billing and shipping addresses.

X-Cart Order to ERP/OMS & Kentico Customer Sync

When a new order is placed in X-Cart, the iPaaS captures the event, creates a sales order in the ERP/OMS, updates inventory, and ensures the customer's purchase history is reflected in Kentico's customer profile and CRM.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Customer completes checkout in X-Cart.
  2. 1 X-Cart `order.created` webhook triggers iPaaS flow.
  3. 2 iPaaS extracts order details (Order, OrderItem, Customer, Payment Transaction).
  4. 3 iPaaS maps and transforms data for ERP/OMS (e.g., Sales Order creation).
  5. 4 iPaaS updates inventory in ERP/WMS.
  6. 5 iPaaS checks for existing customer in CRM/Kentico; creates or updates customer profile.
  7. 6 Order status in X-Cart is updated to 'Processing'.
  8. 7 Confirmation sent to customer via X-Cart/Kentico.

Business Outcome

Real-time order processing, accurate inventory, unified customer view, reduced manual data entry and errors, faster fulfillment.
