The Expansion of Headless Commerce: Guest Blog by JetRails
Wednesday, January 30, 2019Lauren Macdonald
For many years, merchants have been forced to choose between a powerful eCommerce platform like Magento and a flexible Content Management System (CMS) like WordPress. While you could create a corporate site in Wordpress and a subdomain like “shop.” or “store.” for your eCommerce store, having two separate sites is not ideal. With your eCommerce website hosted on a subdomain, it’s more difficult to earn top search engine rankings as well as to maintain continuity between the sites. You end up managing two hosting environments, two themes and potentially require two admins to maintain two distinctive websites.

Need to integrate ShipStation with Microsoft Dynamics AX/365, GP, NAV/BC, or SL? Here’s how we can help!
Monday, November 26, 2018Lauren Macdonald
ShipStation is one of the best platforms out there for enabling eCommerce merchants to import, organize, process, package, and ship their orders. It also comes with a wide range of features such as automated order importing, custom hierarchical rules, product profiles, fulfillment solutions, and more.
One thing merchants are noticing, however, is that ShipStation and
Microsoft Dynamics ERPs like AX/365, GP, NAV/BC, or SL, do not natively integrate with the shipping tool. This means a lot of manual data entry to and from ShipStation for those merchants who sell their products online and use a Microsoft Dynamics ERP for their back-office.

How Leading Brands Are Processing Orders This Black Friday/Cyber Monday
Friday, November 9, 2018Lauren Macdonald
Busy online brands and merchants find themselves in a major bind on Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend, when they’re forced to bring in staff and pay overtime to handle the spike in order volume. Each order made by a customer needs to be processed, picked, packaged, and shipped. And, many of these orders come back as returns.
The holiday season can be a logistical nightmare for the warehouse, the finance team, the IT team and operations.
Safari Ltd., seller of toys that teach, is one such brand that was in this bind a year ago. Every order that came into their online toy shop kicked off manual human intervention. Because of this painful experience – when everyone had to work over the holidays – they made the decision to join the ranks of leading brands who have a much easier and faster method of processing their orders – with an integration platform as a service (iPaaS).
