Real-Time Yahoo! Integration: On-Demand

"Yahoo! hosts more Top 500 Internet Retailers than any other provider." -- Internet Retailer, 2008

The Celigo Yahoo! Connector for NetSuite is a subscription-based Integration-as-a-Service product which provides a real-time integration with Yahoo! Merchant Solutions (formerly called Yahoo! Stores). Powered by the Celigo Integrator, the solution runs entirely within your NetSuite account—in full accord with NetSuite’s one system, no limits philosophy.

Business Problems Solved

Using the Yahoo! Connector for NetSuite, a Yahoo! Store can be used as an external web store that integrates seamlessly with the NetSuite back office. Since the integration is fully automated, you can focus on increasing sales and accurately managing the resulting orders, instead of wasting time manually keeping your Yahoo! Store and NetSuite account in synch.

• Import Sales Orders/Customers into NetSuite: Orders taken in your Yahoo! Store are imported into NetSuite automatically as they occur in real-time. If a matching customer is not found, a new customer is created in NetSuite.
• Lookup NetSuite Inventory in Real-Time: As shoppers add items to their carts, NetSuite inventory levels are looked up and validated for adequate quantities, ensuring that orders placed can actually be fulfilled. 

Features

Celigo's Yahoo! Connector for NetSuite doesn't just let you automate the flow of data between your Yahoo! Store and NetSuite. It also lets you manage and monitor the integration directly from within your NetSuite account! This is possible because the Yahoo! Connector was built using the Celigo Integrator, which is Celigo's proprietary integration platform that allows NetSuite users to manage external integrations without ever having to leave the NetSuite application. And since the Celigo Integrator has been used by numerous companies in integrating NetSuite with various external applications, including other ecommerce platforms like Amazon Marketplace and ChannelAdvisor MarketplaceAdvisor, then you know that you are using a proven and reliable solution for integrating your Yahoo! Store and NetSuite.

NetSuite User Interface

The Yahoo! Connector provides a familiar NetSuite user interface that is deployed directly in your NetSuite account using NetSuite's SuiteBundler, and uses a combination of Suitelets, SuiteScripts, custom portlets, alerts, and other features that make for a rich user experience. So managing the Yahoo! and NetSuite integration doesn't require you to learn how to use or maintain an entirely new 3rd party application; everything you need to know about the Yahoo!-NetSuite integration will be available in either your Yahoo! Merchant Solutions account, or in your NetSuite account.

Configuration & Mapping

The mapping of data fields from a Yahoo! record type to a NetSuite record type is achieved through an intuitive user interface within your NetSuite account. This includes the ability to map custom fields, hierarchical data types, etc. This interface allows business users to make changes to the integration without having to make changes to the code. For example, if Yahoo! introduces a new field on the sales order record, this field can easily be mapped to a standard or custom field in the NetSuite sales order record type with a few clicks.

Monitoring

Monitor every aspect of this integration from the context of a single NetSuite dashboard—one page offering complete visibility including custom portlets, KPIs, meters, and graphs. Integration activity is logged directly inside NetSuite with the ability to specify summary or detailed logging. The summary logging occurs at the job level, capturing the details of the import/export. The detailed logging occurs at the record level, and includes the ability to click through from the summary.

No time to keep track of everything?  Enable email alerts to watch for integration failures and checkpoints, or schedule a report to keep track of your integration’s throughput. With a few clicks, administrators can configure these alerts to suit the needs of their enterprise.

On-Demand

The Yahoo! Connector is designed to run as a Celigo hosted service. Celigo will monitor and support the Connector to ensure that it runs uninterrupted, including ensuring that it will always be compatible with NetSuite and Yahoo! updates. When either application makes an update, the Connector will be automatically updated as well (if needed) to fix any problems in a proactive manner.  Updates also occur immediately upon discovery of a problem. Additionally, the subscription entitles you to receive the latest version of the Connector automatically when it becomes available, ensuring that you benefit from new and improved features.
