Asperion ChannelEngine Integration
What can you integrate between
Asperion and ChannelEngine?
Details
Asperion + ChannelEngine Integration
Orders can be synced from ChannelEngine to Asperion.
Process
You can set the status on which orders are send from ChannelEngine, like only the paid orders.
Once APIcenter retrieves the order data it is processed, add missing data and start the send process towards Asperion. First APIcenter checks if the order already exists, if it exists we skip the order. If it does not exists APIcenter checks if the customer exists and depending on the outcome create or update the customer. APIcenter checks if all products exist and then the order is committed.
APIcenter differentiates in creating the customer based upon the source data received. If APIcenter receives from the source a company name then a company debtor is created with the underlying contact. If there is no company then a person debtor is created.
The check on customer exists is done per default by email address.
Ordertypes
You can determine what type of order you want to send towards Asperion.
Our Asperion integrations support Orders or Invoices.
Settings
Within APIcenter you can set specific settings that are mandatory for Asperion. For a complete overview please check the documentation.
Standard we offer functionality to make specific mappings like payment terms and methods from the ChannelEngine to the Asperion.
Do you want to make use of a default debtor? This is also per default available in APIcenter.
Datamapper
Per default APIcenter supplies a mapping that makes sure you can send an order towards Asperion. You can also make adjustments to this yourself.
Default fields that are mapped are for example:
- Customer Name
- Billing address street
- Number
- Postalcode
- City
- Country
- Shipping address street
- Number
- Postalcode
- City
- Country
- SKU
- Quantity
- Price
Process
Products are synced from Asperion to ChannelEngine. Within this sync different types of products are supported. APIcenter gathers the data from Asperion, then it is run through the APIcenter to have the correct settings, values and formats before it is send to ChannelEngine. Products are created or updated based on the SKU.
You can differentiate within APIcenter the behaviour between creating and updating products. For example when APIcenter creates a product and sends in the long description from the Asperion, but if you enrich the data after this in ChannelEngine, you don't want to have it overwritten with an update. For this you can set a checkbox to update the product info.
Product types
Supported product types: Simple, virtual, variant/configurable products.
Attributes/Features
Besides the generic and custom added fields from Asperion also Item Attributes from Asperion are supported. These needs to be manually mapped in APIcenter.
Attributes are used for creating configurable products, like size/color/options. Features are used as extra information fields, think about country of origin, type, delivery time etc.
Articles in Asperion have five fields that could possbile be used for features or attributes.

How APIcenter
works
APIcenter is a platform where you can set up an integration yourself. But how does this work? By registering you will enter the dashboard. Here you can “connect” your different systems together. You add your systems/applications first. Then you generally indicate what you want to link, for example products or orders. In the next step you will be asked what your specific wishes are. When that is filled in, you are done and you can test whether everything works as you wish! It can be that simple.
Always up to date
While it would take you hours to copy data between Asperion and ChannelEngine, APIcenter can do it in seconds. APIcenter is more efficient not only in cost and time, but most importantly: accuracy & security. A constant flow of data from one end to another has never been easier.

With APIcenter you have complete control over all your data flows from Asperion to ChannelEngine and the other way around. You can map the data exactly how you want it, and even invoke extra functions to transform the data when needed.
Full transparancy
You will get access to your own personal dashboard in which you can see extensive activity logs for your integrations. See exactly which data was from Asperion, and which data was pushed to ChannelEngine and the other way around. Add flows per your wish.
