XML Tools - Integrate Your Business

Nexternal's ecommerce software offers XML Tools designed to allow data synchronization and integration with third party systems housing similar data. All Tools involve server-to-server communication whereby the initiating server sends a Request XML document to the appropriate URL, then receives a Reply XML document from Nexternal, then parses that document and takes appropriate action to achieve the desired integration.

Nexternal offers four powerful XML Tools:

  • The OrderQuery allows merchants to "export" all order information including customer and line item data.
  • The OrderUpdate is used to update Order and Line Item Statuses including importing tracking numbers.
  • The CustomerQuery contains all customer information including custom field and additional address information.
  • XML InventoryUpdate completes the suite and allows the merchant's Nexternal system to receive inventory information from another system.

Successful use of the XML Tools requires considerable expertise in XML and the Nexternal Order Management System, as well as the necessary technology assets (i.e. hardware, software, internet service, etc).

Some of Nexternal's clients have used the XML Tools to create real-time integrations with the following systems:
