When one size doesn't fit all, extend and integrate.

There may come a time when you may have to extend BC or do some custom coding in order to meet your online business requirements.

Extend via Web Services: eCommerce & CRM APIs

BC's XML based framework lets you to build systems that remotely query the system to retrieve various types of data that are stored in your BC Online Business. Using these APIs, you can retrieve data related to aspects of your online business such as:

  • Your customers and their information
  • Cases and web form submissions
  • Order details and products purchased
  • Payment details and statuses
  • Update and retrieve web pages and templates

The Notification API

Rather than polling the BC system for new orders or information, this is a simple framework that you can setup to ask BC to "ping" an external application and notify it of certain events. Events can include online shop purchases, a new customer inquiry via one of your web forms and so forth.

Built-in QuickBooks Integration

Many business owners use tools like QuickBooks to manage the accounting side of their business. By using the QuickBooks Web Connector (and QuickBooks version 5 or higher) you  can easily sync your BC orders with QuickBooks.
