Hi Ruben,

I’m doing some research on how to integrate orders from webshops built with your webshop CMS in our ERP system, Microsoft Dynamics NAV. In order of that I hope to get some questions answered. Hopefully you’re able to answer them or to forward this message to someone who can.
1. What data formats for EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) messages are they able to export?

Tab-separated value/Excel exports are available by default.

2. How easily would the webshops be able to adapt to a specific EDI format?

Would be a Simple Matter Of Programming. Just depends on the format required. Data is stored natively in a database table (generally MySQL or PostgreSQL, but ultimately shop-specific), so exports can be written to transform from the native table format to whatever is required.

3. Do they support API integration?

You’d need to write adapters for specific APIs; we have written many API adapters depending on the need.

a. Do you offer API clients, libraries or SDK’s to help with the integration?

The code is pretty much what there is; depending on the type of integration you’re looking for there are some open-source extensions/tools available, plus a large body of work/experience that we’ve done already.

4. What programming language or/and framework are their back-end written in?

Primarily written in Perl.
