Integrations

SparkLayer connects directly to Brightpearl, Cin7 Core, Katana, Linnworks and Unleashed (ERP and inventory), Xero and QuickBooks Online (accounting), and Sufio and Intuitive Shipping (customer experience). For other systems, see If your app isn't listed.
Connect an app in the SparkLayer Dashboard at Integrations,Partners (opens in your SparkLayer Dashboard in a new tab): turn on the switch next to it, then sign in to it or enter its key. In the Shopify app, Partners lists each app with a Setup guide button that opens its guide here.
ERPs send your B2B customers and prices into SparkLayer on a schedule. Accounting apps receive an invoice from SparkLayer for each B2B order paid by invoice or on account.
Xero and QuickBooks need the Pro plan, and the ERP integrations the Pro or Enterprise plan. The ERP and accounting integrations need a Shopify store, except Linnworks, which works on every platform. See Compare platforms.

How integrations work

Your eCommerce platform is always connected to SparkLayer, in Integrations,Platform (opens in your SparkLayer Dashboard in a new tab). That's how SparkLayer knows your products and B2B customers: see Platforms.

A partner integration connects one more system you use, such as an ERP or accounting app. Depending on the app, it does one of 3 things:

Sends SparkLayer your B2B customers and prices (ERPs).
Receives your B2B orders as invoices (accounting apps).
Adds something to the buying experience, such as invoices or shipping rates (customer experience apps).

Connect an integration

Each app's guide has the full steps, but connecting one always starts the same way.

Check the app works on your plan and platform in Apps SparkLayer works with.
Sign in to the SparkLayer Dashboard (opens in a new tab) and go to Integrations,Partners (opens in your SparkLayer Dashboard in a new tab). Partner apps can't be switched on inside the Shopify app.
Find the app under its type, for example Multi-channel management for ERPs or Accountancy for Xero and QuickBooks, and turn on the switch next to it.
Sign in to the app to give SparkLayer access, or enter the details it asks for, such as an API key (a code from the app that lets SparkLayer read your data).
Follow the rest of the app's guide, for example to tag the customers you want to import.

If your plan doesn't include the app, it shows the plan it needs and an Unlock button instead of a switch. See Unlock a feature.

If your app isn't listed

Patchworks and Zynk are integration platforms (iPaaS): services that connect systems which don't have a direct SparkLayer integration. See their cards under ERPs and operations.
Your developer or agency can build their own connection with the SparkLayer API. See Building integrations.
