The Benefits of a Sage and WooCommerce Integration

April 26, 2022

Integrating WooCommerce with Sage enables real-time data synchronization, which makes the ordering process easier for customers. It also streamlines backend order processing and prevents oversells.

Selling online can be tough. Difficulties integrating your website with your back-end business management software can result in poor customer experiences and lost sales. Implementing a WooCommerce Sage 100 integration with our E-Link tool can improve customer service, streamline order processing, and boost sales. Replace costly order management and fulfillment processes with a simple, automated solution. Here’s how it works.

What is a Sage Integration with WooCommerce?

Sage ERP is a popular type of business management software. Businesses use ERP software to manage their backend operations, including supply chain management, warehouse and inventory management, human resources, and more.

Companies often rely on multiple different back-end systems to manage processes, including having different platforms for functions like email automation, managing inventory and orders, and eCommerce. Integarting these different systems using middleware streamlines operations and connects different departments in real-time.

An ERP integration connects your ERP software and eCommerce website. Our E-Link WooCommerce-Sage Connector forms a real-time bidirectional data sync between Sage 100 and WooCommerce.

With E-Link, you’ll be able to:
  • Easily handle sales, purchases, refunds, payments, expenses, transaction fees, and taxes.
  • Organize your WooCommerce sales in detail with order sync selection by channel.
  • Enable easy repeat ordering for your customers.
  • Provide personalized Customer Portals that give your customers access to their customer-specific rates and inventory.
  • Provide real-time inventory updates on your website with no manual data entry.
  Our E-Link handles all data connection points for custom Business Partner Portals and other B2B/B2C eCommerce needs.

Connection points include:

  • Products

  • Pricing

  • Inventory

  • Customer Information

  • Order History

  • Transactions

  • Payments

  • Shipping & Tracking

  • And More …

E-Link offers a deep integration between Sage and WooCommerce. Some ERP eCommerce integrations offer shallow integrations and shallow functionality. This means they’re plug-and-play type solutions that don’t offer much customizability or flexibility. E-Link is different. Our tool is customizable so that we can offer the functionality you need.

ERP eCommerce integrations are middleware that sit between your Sage ERP and eCommerce platform. Our E-Link tool consists of two parts. The first is an API that runs on top of the Sage server. It communicates with your Sage 100 instance using the Sage Business Objects. With our E-Link API, when a customer creates a website order, E-Link will actually create the order as if the customer had been tabbing through all the fields in Sage. It’s not just putting data in a database. E-Link follows all business logic built into Sage. If Sage ever goes down, your customers will be able to place online orders like nothing is wrong. Any orders placed during this time will sync into Sage ERP.

Go With a Partner You Can Trust

When choosing an ERP eCommerce integration, it’s important to choose the right implementation partner. Typically, this implementation partner will install and configure your eCommerce integration. You should choose a company you feel comfortable working with, and one that has expertise with both your ERP and eCommerce platform. It’s also important to consider what support policies your implementation partner offers after your ERP eCommerce integration is up and running. Future website updates or other changes may require updating your integration as well.
