Top 7 Benefits of a WooCommerce and Sage 100 Integration

Our E-Link WooCommerce and Sage 100 integration provides the API endpoints to integrate your WooCommerce store with your front- and back-end systems.

WooCommerce and Sage 100 integrations can improve a business’s scalability and give it a competitive advantage in the market. By connecting these two systems, businesses can streamline operations and achieve economies of scale.

Our E-Link application seamlessly connects your core business systems. It leverages Sage Business Objects and custom modules in WooCommerce to provide real-time updates. E-Link has extensive capabilities for incorporating entities from Sage 100 into WooCommerce. It follows all business logic in Sage and is highly customizable, meaning it can sync any type of information you need between platforms to automate your business’s core processes.

We customize each E-Link WooCommerce Sage integration to meet specific needs of each business. This means that we can add or remove data connection points as needed. A data connection point is the type of data that will sync between Sage 100 and WooCommerce.

WooCommerce Sage 100 Integration Data Connection Points

These are the types of data connection points included standard in our E-Link WooCommerce and Sage 100 integration. We can also add or remove data connection points as needed. As an example, some of our B2B clients prefer to rely on invoicing instead of collecting payments at the point of sale (POS). These clients did not use or pay for E-Link’s payment syncing functionality.

Data Connection Points

Products

Product data from Sage 100 will automatically sync into WooCommerce. This includes information like products, product categories, dimensions, weight, and all associated meta-data. With E-Link, your product on your website will always be up to date.

Pricing

Pricing information from Sage 100 will sync into WooCommerce, including temporary sales drops and pricing changes.

Inventory

Real-time inventory numbers will update in both Sage 100 and WooCommerce. After sales are placed online, your total inventories in Sage will update automatically. This prevents issues like over-sells and shipping short, resulting in happier customers.

Customer Information

We handles various customer information, including multiple addresses, billing and shipping details, contact numbers, pricing data, and tax information. Your stored customer information in Sage will sync into WooCommerce for a streamlined ordering process. Customers will also easily be able to update their own data online, and any updates like a new address will automatically be saved in Sage.

Order History

E-Link provides complete visibility into customers’ own order history, including orders placed over the phone or through other sales channels.

Transactions

Records of every sale made in WooCommerce will automatically sync into your Sage system, including information like the date and time of the purchase, the payment method, any applied discounts or promotions, the products purchased, and more. This makes it easy to track and manage online sales from within Sage.

Payments

Payments made in WooCommerce will automatically be recorded in your Sage system with no need for manual updates. In addition, customers will have full visibility into their payment history, including any outstanding payments, which is useful in a B2B setting.

Shipping & Tracking

E-Link provides automatic shipping and tracking updates to the customer, which reduces customer service emails and phone calls and improves customer satisfaction.

B2B and Wholesale for WooCommerce

One of E-Link’s most appealing features on the B2B side is its ability to handle customer-specific pricing and inventory. As anyone who has ever had the misfortune of placing a B2B order knows, placing a B2B order is often a very tedious process. It often requires multiple emails or phone calls and generating multiple quotes.

E-Link gives B2B companies B2C-like ordering functionality. Customers will be able to log in online and see only their customer-specific pricing and inventory, including any custom negotiated rates or discounts.
