Sage 100 and WooCommerce Integration

July 5, 2022

E-Link is middleware that facilitates the integration of WooCommerce to Sage 100. It automates business processes, streamlines operations, and improves real-time data visibility. Every company is different, and their integration needs are different, too. Our E-Link tool marries your front-office webstore and back-office application for automatic online order processing.

There are many factors to consider when creating a connection between WooCommece and Sage 100. These include security and performance criteria, the available data connection points, and more. The two most common types of connections are SaaS and On Premise. Our E-Link tool is available for both SaaS and on-premise deployment.

First released in September of 2011, WooCommerce continues to be one of the most popular eCommerce platforms for new and growing online retailers with WordPress websites. Known for its ease of use, flexibility, and of course unparalleled compatibility with WordPress, this free plugin is used by over 2 million eCommerce sites around the world.

Although the WooCommerce plugin features critical eCommerce functionalities, such as inventory management, secure payments, and order tracking, to name a few, one of the biggest critiques from users is that WooCommerce lacks integration. With a disjointed backend process, the tools you need for daily operations are not in sync which can create an efficient workflow.

The solution? An integration platform like CertiPro’s E-Link that streamlines online orders and backend order processing between your Sage 100’s ERP system and WordPress WooCommerce plugin.

WooCommerce Integrations for Sage

Multiple different types of WooCommerce and Sage integrations are available on the market. You want one that effortlessly connects Sage ERP systems with your eCommerce webstore and facilitates an automated, bi-directional data exchange between your core business systems. While many available Sage WooCommerce integrations offer similar functionality, there are some core differences that set them apart.

When choosing the right Sage integration solution for your business, you should consider the following factors.

Does it provide a bi-directional data sync?

Some Sage eCommerce integrations provide a one-way data sync, meaning data will sync from WooCommerce into Sage but information will not sync from Sage into WooCommerce. A one-way integration may be fine if you want to sync new order information and nothing else, but only a bi-directional sync provides the full benefit of integrating Sage and WooCommerce. An automated bi-directional sync means that real-time inventory data will always be available on your site, preventing oversells, shipping short, and other delays.

What connection points does it offer?

A connection point determines what type of data will sync between your systems. Some WooCommerce Sage integrations offer a fix list of connection points with no options. This means companies may be stuck paying for connection points they don’t want and don’t use, and they may not be able to get connection points they actually need.

How easy is your WooCommerce integration to program and maintain?

It’s critical to consider how easy it will be to set up, customize, and maintain your Sage 100 and WooCommerce integration. With some integrations, your IT department may be responsible for setting up or maintaining your system. When you go with CertiPro, we handle all the heavy lifting in integrating your systems and maintaining your Sage eCommerce integration once it’s set up.

How customizable is your Sage WooCommerce integration solution?

Our E-Link Sage and WooCommerce integration is highly customizable and flexible. We custom-built it for both Sage 100 and WooCommerce, meaning it takes full advantage of the functionality and features of both platforms. We can add or remove any data connection points you need so that you’re never stuck paying for something you don’t use. We also offer B2C-like ordering capabilities for B2B companies.

Are there any transaction limits or other hidden fees?

A good Sage 100 WooCommerce integration should fuel business growth. Some integrations, however, have hidden transaction limits or added fees that kick in as your order volume grows. When you go with us, the price you see is the price you get. You don’t pay extra as your order volumes rise.
