How to integrate Magento and NetSuite?

Magento and NetSuite integration can be achieved in three ways and Mage Monkeys can help you choose the preferred option to help you reach your goal.

• Point-to-point integration

Point-to-point Magento NetSuite integration is one of the ways to integrate eCommerce with ERP. In this case, both technologies are placed face-to-face to synchronize different data like orders, inventory, customers, and items. In this type of integration, there is no operational platform working between the systems. Therefore, it is up to you to decide which system you should choose as ‘Master’ to help with data management. Mage Monkeys can help you turn the Magento platform into the ‘master’ system and thereby manage everything from it by considering it as a central repository. Here data is sent between the systems in the original form. Moreover, you will see certain limitations in the functionality.

In this case, data is generally synced between the systems in regular batches and that can be done on an hourly basis or once or twice a day. This kind of integration can work for small businesses that have no plans to make a big jump.

• Custom Magento NetSuite integration

Custom integration is another way of having NetSuite integration with Magento. Some eCommerce businesses go their own way of having their own custom integration. To help eCommerce stores with such integration, Mage Monkeys will work on APIs that are present on Magento and NetSuite and will tie both systems by writing custom codes.

There may come situations when choosing custom integrations to become necessary for the business, like adding order fulfilment or SKU administration to your Magento 2 or NetSuite. Then there are situations where a custom solution is the only solution. In both cases, this integration solution works.

• SaaS-based integration

SaaS-based integration is considered to be the most cost-effective way to integrate NetSuite with Magento 2 stores. In this option, the platform makes use of pre-built NetSuite and Magento connectors designed for them.

When compared to point-to-point integration, SaaS-based integration connectors are highly customizable and configurable so that they can easily satisfy your business needs. Here the businesses have the freedom to set the limits for their data and decide how it moves and behaves between the two systems. It offers them more visibility and control over the data. With Mage Monkeys, you can easily opt for SaaS-based integration for your eCommerce business and have the right connectors used for integration.
