Stock balance

Stock balance is sent from Ongoing WMS to the web shop.

Default settings and considerations

The integration provides default settings which are suitable in most cases. However, there are some possibilities for customization.

  1. Synchronization interval.
    Default: Every 15 minutes. It is usually a suitable balance between responsiveness and band-width usage.
  2. Do you have any variant of your articles without unique article numbers? For example, colors, sizes, packaging.
    Default: No.
  3. When should an order in Abicart be transferred to Ongoing WMS?
    Default: No filter. It is possible to filter on delivery status and/or payment status.
  4. Should orders be reported to Abicart as partly delivered when partly delivered in Ongoing WMS (only available in Abicart PLUS)?
    Default: No.

Preparations

For us at Ongoing WMS to implement the Abicart integration we need the following operations to be performed by you.

Communication interface

This is already prepared in Abicart BAS and PLUS, but needs to be activated. To activate this, send an email to support@abicart.se, attach your shop ID and ask them to activate the function "Integration med eget system".

API information

When the interface for communication is activated you need to retrieve the information Ongoing WMS needs. The needed information is listed below:

  • Shop ID
  • API key
