Integration questions. New to Sage

SOLVED
Posted By FormerMember

We have a client with an ecommerce site that runs on AmeriCommerce. This client needs to have their orders and customers imported into their Sage accounting system, which they've said they are using 'SAGE 50 Quantum Accounting'. Our plan for this was to use an intermediary program that would use the AmeriCommerce API to pull order and customer information and then use the Sage API to add that into Sage.

This is my first time working with Sage, and I'm having a hard time knowing where to start. Here are a couple initial questions I have:

  • I don't see a lot of mention of "Sage 50 Quantum Accounting" is this just the name of a program that connects to Sage 50?
  • Does the API connect to the software itself, or does it connect to the cloud server? 
  • Will the .NET SDK work for adding customers and orders into Sage?

I am fine with joining the developer partner program, but I wanted to ask my questions here first to help me get a basic understanding before I get that started. 

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Hello, Sage 50 Quantum Accounting is an enterprise level edition of Sage 50 US - https://www.sage.com/en-us/products/sage-50-cloud/#products. The API connects to the software iteself, not any underlying cloud platform. The .NET API supports Create, Read, Update and Delete operations on Customer and Sales Order records. If you would like to subscribe to our Developer Partner Program, which includes a developer license of Sage 50 and API technical support by email, please send your name, business name, address, phone # and email address to [email protected] and we will start the application process. Thanks!

    Hey Wysockib,

    Soumen answered most of your questions quite well. I just wanted to add one little note. At least using the .NET API, you would be able to create automatically create customers/vendors as well as invoices and purchase orders. The one limitation you may bump in to with the .NET API is that you cannot create Items in the Sage 50 Item List. (So by Items, I mean the objects that are added to invoices and/or purchase orders.)

    So if you plan on automating the generation of invoices/POs it will work fine as long as the items you are charging for or purchasing are already on the Sage 50 Item List. Otherwise, the item will have to be created within the Sage 50 program proper before you can automatically use that item on an invoice/PO.
