Introduction
In this article, we will explore how AppsConnector seamlessly works with Shopify and Netsuite to bring in relevant order data and send fulfillment information back to the storefront. We will delve into the process of connecting these platforms, mapping fields, and setting up custom mappings. Additionally, we will discuss testing the sync between Shopify and Netsuite, fulfilling orders, and automating the sync process.
How AppsConnector Works with Shopify and Netsuite
AppsConnector acts as a bridge between Shopify and Netsuite, allowing for the efficient transfer of order data and fulfillment information. By utilizing the API documentation provided by Shopify, AppsConnector can pull various fields from the order confirmation page and map them to the default fields in Netsuite. This seamless integration ensures that customer data, transaction details, and other pertinent information are accurately transferred.
Connecting Shopify and Netsuite to FarApp
To establish a connection between Shopify and Netsuite through FarApp, you first need to access the FarApp dashboard. From there, you can retrieve orders from Shopify by entering the order number and clicking the retrieve button. This step pulls up the order data, allowing you to view and edit relevant information before it is sent to Netsuite. The FarApp dashboard also provides an order mappings page, which displays the default field mappings between Shopify and Netsuite.
Mapping Default Fields in Netsuite
By default, AppsConnector pre-builds and pre-maps the default fields in Netsuite with the corresponding fields in Shopify. This means that order data such as billing information, shipping details, and transaction values are automatically mapped to the appropriate fields in Netsuite. These default mappings eliminate the need for extensive setup and ensure a smooth transfer of data between the two platforms.
Creating Custom Mappings for Notes and Tags
While the default mappings cover most of the necessary fields, there might be specific fields like notes or tags that require custom mappings. AppsConnector allows you to create these custom mappings to ensure that all relevant information is properly transferred. For example, if you want to bring over the comments from Shopify's note section, you can set up a mapping to populate the memo field in Netsuite. Similarly, if you want to include the tags value, you can create a custom field in Netsuite and map it to the corresponding field in Shopify.
Testing the Sync between Shopify and Netsuite
To ensure that everything is properly set up, it is crucial to test the sync between Shopify and Netsuite. You can do this by manually syncing an order from Shopify to Netsuite through the FarApp dashboard. Once synced, you can verify that all customer information, transaction data, and item details are accurately reflected in Netsuite. This testing phase allows you to identify any potential issues or inconsistencies and make necessary adjustments before fully automating the sync process.
Fulfilling Orders and Syncing Tracking Details
Once an order is received in Netsuite, you can proceed with the fulfillment process. After shipping the order, you can use AppsConnector to sync the tracking details from Netsuite back to Shopify. This ensures that customers have access to the tracking information and can monitor the progress of their shipments. By simply clicking on the fulfill button in the FarApp dashboard, you can initiate the process of syncing the tracking details to Shopify.
Automating the Sync Process
After thoroughly testing the sync process and ensuring that everything works smoothly, you can proceed with automating the sync between Shopify and Netsuite. By turning on the necessary syncs in the FarApp dashboard, you eliminate the need for manual syncing, and all changes, updates, and fulfillments will be automatically transferred between the two platforms. This automation provides convenience and saves time, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your business.
Conclusion
AppsConnector serves as a reliable and efficient tool for seamlessly integrating Shopify and Netsuite. It enables the smooth transfer of order data, fulfillment information, and tracking details, ensuring that both platforms are in sync. By following the steps mentioned in this article, you can easily connect Shopify and Netsuite through FarApp, map fields, create custom mappings, test the sync process, fulfill orders, and automate the entire sync process.
