Tradebox is a Sage Certified desktop application, designed to integrate online marketplaces with Sage Instant or Sage 50 Accounts.
A certified and professional member of the Sage Developer Programme, the Tradebox software was originally conceived in April 2005 as a bespoke application for a single online retail business selling on eBay and struggling to cope with Sage data entry from the resulting sales. Today, over 1,100 UK online retailers subscribe and use the Tradebox software to manage, control and account for their online sales across multiple marketplaces and ecommerce websites.
Marketplace Integration
Connections to individual marketplaces are created in Tradebox through an easy to use interactive step through wizard. The wizard guides the user through a series of pages, prompting for information on:
- The marketplace to connect with
- Download criteria
- Which Sage Company to link with
- Customer creation in Sage
- Invoice/Order creation in Sage
- Sales Receipt/Bank information in Sage
- Synchronisation method and frequency
- Currency of sales
Upon completion of the wizard a ‘connection’ is created in Tradebox which holds all of the configuration settings for this particular link. This can be amended or fine-tuned at any time. Each connection contains all of the mapping data for customers, products, shipping and payment types which form the relationship between the online data and the corresponding entries in Sage Accounts.
An ‘out-of-the-box’ solution, Tradebox can be rapidly installed and configured to integrate and download sales from all Rithum, as well as other platforms.
