Overview
The Adobe Commerce Connector connects your storefront to a modern OMS without expensive, high-risk custom development:- Faster Time to Market: Replaces complex integration projects to launch omnichannel capabilities quickly.
- Lower Operational Costs: Automates inventory, order, and master data synchronization to reduce maintenance overhead.
- Higher Conversions: Displays real-time stock availability and ETAs at checkout to increase buyer confidence and prevent overselling.
- Efficient Fulfillment: Powers Home Delivery and BOPIS via automated sourcing, split shipments, and stock transfers.
How it Works
The connector acts as an automated bridge that synchronizes catalog, inventory, and order lifecycles between Adobe Commerce and Fluent OMS. This capability is divided into 11 interconnected components that manage specific business workflows:Core Authentication & Webhook Infrastructure
The general module standardizes the core security, authentication, and communication frameworks across the entire integration. It safeguards multi-retailer operations by automatically mapping specific Adobe Commerce website scopes to isolated, merchant-specific Fluent credentials during automated data exchanges. Every incoming update passes strict validation checks to protect data integrity across your entire digital footprint.Customer Data and Profile Consolidation (Customer Profile Creation)
When a customer places an order, the Customer module automatically verifies if their profile exists in Fluent OMS. If a profile is missing, the system generates a new record on the fly. To resolve data fragmentation, this module links both guest and registered checkout histories using the customer's email identifier, giving your customer service teams a cohesive view of historical orders.Navigation and Hierarchy Alignment (Category Sync)
The Category module automates the one-way synchronization of default category structures from the Adobe Commerce catalog to Fluent OMS. By keeping core category entities perfectly mirrored across platforms, it guarantees consistent catalog grouping for backend routing rules.Automated Catalog Export (Product Sync)
The Product module handles the direct export of your digital product catalog from Adobe Commerce to Fluent OMS, supporting both simple and configurable product types. It translates your storefront merchandise into accurate standard and variant records while automatically capturing daily data modifications, as well as updates pushed via manual admin edits or background inventory import tools.Bidirectional Order Orchestration (Order Status Update)
The Order module automates data flows by exporting new Adobe Commerce orders to Fluent OMS at checkout and listening for inbound updates. It natively manages complex, split-fulfillment scenarios for Home Delivery and Buy Online, Pick Up In Store (BOPIS) pathways:- Intelligent Proximity Routing: The system looks for the closest physical location to the destination address to route the order efficiently.
- Split Fulfillment: If a Home Delivery order can only be partially filled at one warehouse, the system automatically triggers separate shipments across the network.
- Stock Transfers: For store pickup orders with missing inventory, the connector coordinates stock transfers from the nearest available hub.
Automated Shipment and Invoice Generation (Consignment)
The Consignment module processes inbound fulfillment milestones from Fluent OMS to automatically generate full or partial shipments within Adobe Commerce based on items packed. Once a fulfillment is ready, both the associated invoice and shipment are automatically created in the storefront. This module also intercepts tracking identification numbers applied to shipments in Fluent OMS and writes them back to active Adobe orders, keeping end-consumers informed with real-time transit details.Granular Line-Item Status Tracking (Fulfillment)
The Fulfillment module captures detailed status updates (such as "packing" or "handling") directly from workflows executed within the Fluent Store interface or other integrated networks. It logs these milestones against individual order lines in Adobe Commerce, populating custom metadata tables to display real-time progress for every item in an order.Physical Network Management (Store Locator)
The Store Locator module handles the one-way import of brick-and-mortar location details and physical store sources from Fluent OMS into Adobe Commerce, ensuring the location's name is perfectly mapped within the storefront configuration. This allows system administrators to easily select and toggle which physical retail sites are active and visible to customers for local pickup.Real-Time Availability and Checkout Inquiries (Fulfillment Options Module)
The Fulfillment Options module abstracts complex backend calculations to power live availability checks on your digital storefront. A real-time request is sent each time a variant is selected on the Product Detail Page (PDP) to show exact item options, as well as at each step of the checkout funnel to validate precise cart availability and Estimated Times of Arrival (ETA) prior to final purchase placement.Aggregate Stock Synchronization (Inventory Sync)
The Inventory module transfers total aggregate stock levels (the combined inventory for a product variant across all physical locations) from Fluent OMS back to Adobe Commerce. It holds these synchronized stock counts against isolated virtual sources per website scope, feeding accurate availability numbers to your Product Listing Pages (PLP) and PDPs to prevent overselling.Centralized System Monitoring (Logger Module)
The Logger module provides a unified logging framework that operates silently across all other individual connector modules. It records transactional data, API communication states, and data transfer events, giving technical and operational teams complete visibility for rapid diagnostics and troubleshooting without disrupting the customer experience.Who is it For?
This connector is designed for e-commerce directors, retail operations managers, and fulfillment coordinators who need unified control over their omnichannel commerce network and wish to eliminate operational friction between storefront sales and backend logistics.What Problems Does it Solve?
Integrating Adobe Commerce with Fluent OMS using this connector delivers immediate operational outcomes:- Efficiency Gains: Automates manual data entry across products, categories, and inventory counts, reducing staff overhead.
- Cost Reduction: Minimizes split-shipping costs via intelligent proximity routing and optimizes warehouse space through smart stock transfers.
- Improved Customer Experience: Boosts buyer confidence by providing accurate delivery timelines and real-time stock availability during checkout.
- Total Visibility: Equips store managers and administrative teams with granular, line-by-line order fulfillment tracking and centralized system logs directly inside the native Adobe Commerce Admin interface.
Use Cases
Example
New Season Apparel Line - Multi-Region Catalog Synchronization and Cross-Border Fulfillment
A premium fashion brand manages separate United States and Canadian storefronts on Adobe Commerce, integrated with Fluent Order Management System (OMS) via the connector.When merchandising teams launch a new seasonal apparel line, the Product and Category modules automatically mirror the entire catalog structure over to Fluent OMS. Simultaneously, the General module isolates regional website credentials to ensure the correct pricing and regional routing rules apply. On the digital storefront, the Inventory and Store Locator modules work in the background to display total aggregate stock availability across all retail stores on the catalog pages.A customer in New York browses the site as a guest. The moment they select a specific product color and size variant, the Fulfillment Options module instantly calculates a precise, localized Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA). At checkout, real-time requests validate the entire cart before final purchase placement.Once the customer completes the checkout, the connector activates a seamless backend workflow:- The Customer module matches the guest checkout email to an existing loyalty account, unifying their omni-channel history.
- The Order module analyzes regional warehouse proximity, applying split-fulfillment logic to ship the shoes from an fulfillment center and trigger an automated stock transfer for a local boutique pickup.
- Store employees fulfill the items using the Fluent Store interface, which prompts the Fulfillment and Consignment modules to instantly generate shipments and invoices within Adobe Commerce while pushing active courier tracking numbers back to the customer's portal.
- The entire transaction is monitored by the Logger module, providing administrative teams with centralized operational visibility.
