ERP Integrations for B2B Ecommerce

Virto Commerce’s ecommerce ERP integration connects to any system, SAP, Dynamics 365, NetSuite, Epicor Prophet 21 and more, through an API-first architecture. Buyers get accurate, account-specific pricing, inventory and orders without rebuilding ERP logic in commerce.
ERP systems connecting through Virto Commerce API-first integration to the Commerce Innovation Platform

Don’t see your ERP listed? Infor, Oracle Fusion, Oracle E-Business Suite, IFS, QAD and others connect too, through a direct API or with a Solution Partner who can scope the right path.

How Virto’s ERP Integration Works

PATH 01

API-first

A direct connection to Virto's core APIs, built and maintained in-house. Once synced, that ERP data reaches the buyer through Virto's commerce APIs, including xOrder and xCatalog.

PATH 02

Middleware & iPaaS

MuleSoft, Boomi or Azure Integration Services absorb complex or multi-system logic.

PATH 03

Integration accelerators

Pre-built patterns for common ERP-commerce pairings, shortening the build.

In every case, the ERP stays the system of record. Virto reads and writes to it, it doesn’t replace it.

How to Choose an ERP Integration Approach

The choice between direct API, middleware and an accelerator depends on how complex your business logic is and how many systems you’re connecting.

Direct API

When it fits
One ERP, one commerce platform, straightforward logic.
What it requires
In-house or partner dev time to build and maintain it.
What you trade off
You own the maintenance as both systems evolve.

Middleware / iPaaS

When it fits
Multiple systems, or logic that’s complex or changes often.
What it requires
A middleware license (MuleSoft, Boomi, Azure Integration Services).
What you trade off
An added layer to configure and monitor.

Accelerator

When it fits
A common ERP-commerce pairing with a known pattern.
What it requires
Less custom development, more configuration.
What you trade off
Less flexibility outside the accelerator’s scope.

If your business logic is simple and stable, connect directly. Use middleware when business logic is complex or spans several systems: it absorbs that complexity so your ERP and commerce platform don’t have to. If you’re on a common pairing, like SAP or NetSuite with Virto, check whether an accelerator already covers it before building either way. How ecommerce ERP integration works covers each method in more detail.

Two more factors shape the decision: whether your ERP runs in the cloud or on-premises, and whether you need real-time sync or scheduled batch updates. Settle who owns what data before the project starts, so you’re not resolving that conflict mid-build. Usually, ERP handles operational data, PIM handles product data. Integrating for procurement and punchout instead? The considerations are different.

What Syncs Across Every ERP

Regardless of which ERP you run, the same data moves across the integration.

Pricing

Contract and customer-specific prices

Inventory

Stock levels across multiple warehouses

Orders

Order placement back into the ERP

Accounts

Account hierarchies and credit terms

Fulfillment

Order and shipment status back to the buyer

Use Cases

Launch a B2B self-service portal on top of your ERP

Buyers place orders and check pricing online instead of calling or emailing your team.

THE RESULT

Fewer manual orders, faster turnaround for buyers.

Your Questions, Answered

Not always. A direct API connection works for a single ERP with straightforward logic. Middleware (MuleSoft, Boomi, Azure Integration Services) is worth adding once you’re connecting multiple systems or logic that changes often.
