Eclipse ERP is a leading e-commerce platform that enables businesses to set up an online store and sell their products online. You can connect your Eclipse ERP store and export your Catalog data from PCC to the Eclipse ERP platform after the connection is established between PCC and Eclipse ERP.
The PCC Eclipse ERP connector enables you to connect PCC with your Eclipse ERP store and transfer data between these applications seamlessly.
Click the View Details
icon to view the details and features of the connector and the following is displayed.
Configuring the Eclipse ERP Connector
You need to configure the connector and add the token and API path for setting up the store. Once the store is configured, the Product Information present in the PCC catalog can be exported to the relevant store in the Eclipse ERP platform.
NOTE | You can add multiple stores for a Eclipse ERP connector if a customer has multiple stores configured for different vendors in the Eclipse ERP platform. |
The first step is to generate the token and API path to configure a Eclipse ERP store using these details.
To add a new Eclipse ERP store configuration:
Go to the PCC Platform Connectors screen and click the Set Configurations
icon available for Eclipse ERP as shown below.
Click Add New Store Configuration and the following dialog box appears to add the store details.
Type the Store Name, that is, the name of the Eclipse ERP store to which the product is to be mapped from PCC. For example, Test store.
Copy-paste the API Path, that is, the URL of the Eclipse ERP store (in this case Test store) to be configured which is mentioned in the text file generated as explained in the Appendix section Generating Token and API Path to Configure BigCommerce Store.
Enter to set the Username and Password.
Enter the Login Type which could be defined user role such as Employer, Employee, etc.
Once all the values are entered, click the Check connection with entered values
icon next to the Store Name to check whether the access tokens and keys entered as well as the store URL is valid. If the details are not valid, an error is displayed as follows.
When you get the above error, make the necessary changes and ensure that the connection is valid.

Syncing SKU Data from PCC to Eclipse ERP
The process to export any data and view it remains the same as explained in chapter Export Catalog.
You can sync the product data, that is, SKUs along with their Attribute Values and linked assets from the catalog in PCC to the Eclipse ERP store by exporting the data using the Eclipse ERP option.
Note: In case of assets linked to SKUs, Eclipse ERP supports photo assets only. If a SKU has any other type of asset linked to it such as documents / videos, those will be ignored when the data is synced. Also, photo assets delinked from SKUs in PCC will be deleted through sync from Eclipse ERP as well.
Let us understand how to export the data using the Eclipse ERP option in the following section.
Exporting the Data Directly to Eclipse ERP using API
This option will directly export / sync the selected catalog data to Eclipse ERP. All the mapped attributes present in the selected categories / entire catalog, depending on the option selected during export will be synced to Eclipse ERP directly.
To sync the data directly to Eclipse ERP using API, click the Export Catalog icon for file type Eclipse ERP.
To export the product data to Eclipse ERP:
Open the catalog in PCC from which the data is to be synced to Eclipse ERP as shown below.
Select the nodes which have the SKUs to be exported / you can export the entire catalog if all the SKUs from all the nodes must be exported. Let us select a Node Analog which contains SKUs to be synced to Eclipse ERP.
Right-click the node and then click Export Node to export SKUs from specific nodes as shown below.
The following screen appears.
Click the Export Catalog

Enter the Export Name for the file to be saved.
Under SKU Export Options you can select either of the following options:
Select All to export the data from the entire catalog

Select SKUs using saved condition, if you have a saved condition. As you start typing, PCC will start suggesting the various conditions that have been saved.
To view more details on the condition, click on the eye icon 
and the following screen gets displayed:
Select the option under RichText Value Export Options, if you would like to include HTML tags or Strip off the HTML tags.
Select the Store Name from the drop-down that you created while setting up the Eclipse ERP Store Configuration.
Check the Incremental Export Only checkbox if you want to export only the SKUs that were added or updated after the specified date or timeframe. You can then choose the option SKUs modified since date and select the date from which you would like to export the SKUs as shown in the below screenshot.
Once you select Incremental Export Only, you will have the following 3 options to choose from:
SKUs modified since last export
SKUs modified since last export by me (The specific individual account)
SKUs modified since date – When you select this option, you must click on the

These options will be available only if there has been at least one successful export from the selected catalog as shown in the below screenshot.

Based on the frequency you select either of the following options as displayed below:
a. If you select Daily, then you have the option to set the timing at which the exports will run.
b. When you select Weekly you have the option to select the day from the drop-down and the time from the calendar.
