Website integration with CRM and services

Your site connected to the CRM, accounting, payments, delivery and messengers: data moves both ways by itself, and failures show up in the log instead of a month later.

07 08 service 7 of 8 in Websites Development

What’s included

  • Your site connected to the systems that run the business — CRM, accounting, payments, delivery, telephony, messengers
  • Custom APIs when a product needs to talk to something else
  • Data synced both ways, with logging so failures are visible instead of silent
  • Existing integrations fixed and documented

Who it’s for

  • Companies whose site and CRM hold different versions of the truth
  • Businesses where orders are moved between systems by hand
  • Teams who inherited an integration nobody understands

In short

An integration connects your site to the systems the business runs on — a CRM, accounting, payments, delivery, telephony and messengers — so data moves by itself instead of being retyped by hand. We build exchanges in both directions, with signature checks, protection from repeats and a log that shows what was sent and what came back: a failure is visible right away, not a month later. When your product needs to talk to others, we build its own API with documentation. The price is counted in hours and fixed before the start.

What integrations solve

Every manual copy between systems is a delay and a chance for a mistake. An integration removes both.

  1. 01

    One version of the truth

    The site, the CRM and accounting see the same orders, prices and stock — no more “which one is right?”.

  2. 02

    No manual copying

    Orders, enquiries and payments go where they belong by themselves — people do the work only people can do.

  3. 03

    A faster reaction

    An enquiry from the site reaches the manager in seconds, while the client is still waiting for an answer.

  4. 04

    Fewer mistakes

    No typos in phone numbers, no duplicated orders, no forgotten payments.

  5. 05

    Visible failures

    Every exchange is logged: if something did not go through, you know right away and see why.

  6. 06

    Growth without extra staff

    Ten times more orders does not mean ten times more people copying data.

What we connect a site to

Any system with an API or a regular export. If there is no API, files on a schedule will do.

  1. 01

    CRM

    Enquiries and orders become deals with the source of the visit; statuses come back to the site.

  2. 02

    Accounting and warehouse

    Products, prices and stock come in; orders and documents go out.

  3. 03

    Payments

    Payment, refunds and subscriptions with confirmed notifications from the payment provider.

  4. 04

    Delivery

    Cost at checkout, shipments created automatically, tracking numbers to the client.

  5. 05

    Telephony

    Calls are tied to the client card, call-back requests from the site go straight to the line.

  6. 06

    Messengers and bots

    Notifications to managers and clients, enquiries from chats into the CRM.

  7. 07

    Email and mailings

    Subscribers and segments from the site go to the mailing service without exports by hand.

  8. 08

    Analytics and ads

    Real sales are sent back to analytics and ad systems — so you can see which channel brings money, not just clicks.

How we make integrations reliable

An integration that breaks silently is worse than none. Here is what keeps the exchange honest.

  1. One main source for each piece of data

    For every field it is decided in advance where it lives: prices in accounting, deals in the CRM. That way the systems never argue.

  2. Signature checks

    Incoming notifications are checked: someone else’s request cannot pass itself off as a payment or an order.

  3. Protection from repeats

    A repeated notification is recognised: a payment is not counted twice and an order is not created twice.

  4. An exchange log

    You can see what went to the CRM or the payment provider and what came back — and find the cause of a failure in minutes.

  5. Retries with a growing delay

    If the other service is down, requests are repeated later instead of being lost.

  6. Alerts

    When an exchange keeps failing, the person responsible gets a message instead of finding out from a client.

  7. Keys outside the code

    Access keys live in environment variables — they are neither in the code nor in the repository.

Your own API: when a product needs to talk to others

Partners, a mobile app or a client’s system connect to your product — without your developers being involved each time.

  1. 01

    Documentation

    The API is described in OpenAPI: another team connects from the documentation, without calls and letters.

  2. 02

    Keys and access rights

    Each partner gets its own key with its own rights and can be switched off without affecting the others.

  3. 03

    Limits

    Limits on how often the API can be called protect it from overload and brute force.

  4. 04

    Versions

    New features come in a new version, and existing clients keep working as before.

  5. 05

    Webhooks for partners

    Your product notifies other systems about events itself — with a signature they can verify.

How work on an integration goes

Integrations fail less because of code than because of unclear data. So the work starts with a map.

  1. A data map

    What goes where, how often, which system is the main one and what happens on a conflict.

  2. Access and documentation

    Test accounts and API documentation for each system — from you or from the vendor.

  3. Building in a test environment

    The exchange is built and run without touching live orders and real money.

  4. Checks on real data

    Edge cases: a cancelled order, a partial refund, a product with no price, a client with two phones.

  5. Launch under watch

    The first days after launch the log is watched closely, and anything unexpected is fixed straight away.

  6. Documentation for your team

    How the exchange works, where to look when something goes wrong and how to add a new field.

Common integration mistakes

  1. “Temporarily” by hand

    Manual copying “until we set up the integration” lasts for years and costs more than the integration itself.

  2. No main source

    Both systems can change the same field — and overwrite each other’s changes.

  3. An exchange without a log

    When something goes wrong, nobody can tell what was sent and what was lost.

  4. Trusting every incoming request

    Without a signature check a fake notification can mark an order as paid.

  5. No retries

    The other service was down for five minutes — and every order from those minutes is lost.

  6. Nobody knows how it works

    An integration without documentation dies with the developer’s departure.

Questions about API and integrations

What is an API in simple terms?

A set of rules by which programs exchange data: one system asks, the other answers in an agreed format.

What is a website integration?

A connection between the site and other systems — a CRM, accounting, payments, delivery — so data moves between them by itself.

Which systems can a site be connected to?

With any system that has an API or can export data. If there is no API, the exchange runs through files on a schedule.

How much does an integration cost?

The price is counted in hours: it depends on the number of systems, the direction of the exchange, the quality of their APIs and the edge cases. The sum is fixed together with the scope before the start; the estimate is free.

How will I know an integration has broken?

From an alert to the person responsible and from the exchange log, which shows what failed and why — before clients notice.

Can you fix an existing integration?

First we find out how it works and document it. Then we say honestly what is more reliable: fixing it or rebuilding the exchange on our side with a log and retries — often the second.

Is it safe to pass data between systems?

The exchange goes over an encrypted connection, keys are stored outside the code, and incoming requests are checked by signature.

Can systems be connected without a site?

Yes — that is business process automation: a CRM with telephony, accounting with mailings and so on.
