Connecting your storefront to an ERP is one of the highest-value integrations you can make, and one of the easiest to get wrong. This guide takes you through it step by step.
Step 1: Scope the data flows
List every record that must move between systems and the direction it travels. Be ruthless about what genuinely needs to sync in real time versus what can run in batches.
Step 2: Map and transform
ERPs and storefronts rarely speak the same language. Field mapping and transformation rules are where most of the real work lives, document them carefully.
Step 3: Test against real data
Synthetic test data hides problems. Run a full user-acceptance cycle against a copy of real data before you go anywhere near production.
