ERP-to-WooCommerce integrations at enterprise scale are not plugin problems — they are system architecture problems. Stock levels that are out of date cause overselling. Orders that fail to reach the ERP cause fulfilment breakdowns. Customer data that diverges between systems creates support overhead that compounds daily.
The Integration Architecture
The Atlantis ERP bridge is a custom WordPress plugin with a dedicated database queue table, a scheduled processor, and a REST API layer that communicates with the Atlantis API surface. Inbound events (stock changes, price updates, product status changes) are received via webhook and queued for processing. Outbound events (new orders, customer registrations, order status changes) are pushed to Atlantis synchronously on critical paths and via queue on non-critical ones.
Fault Tolerance
The queue architecture uses exponential backoff retry logic with configurable attempt limits. Failed events are logged with full request/response data for diagnosis. An admin dashboard surfaces sync health — pending queue depth, recent failures, last successful sync timestamps per data type — giving operations teams visibility without requiring developer access to server logs.
Field Mapping
Atlantis ERP schema varies between installations and versions. The plugin includes a configuration panel for mapping WooCommerce product, order, and customer fields to their Atlantis equivalents — allowing the integration to be adapted to different client ERP configurations without code changes.
