With this interface Xentral can be connected to Spryker to import orders from there into Xentral and to manage items sold in the store in Xentral. The connection is done via an API interface (Shop Importer).
The creation and dispatch of delivery bills and invoices is handled via Xentral as is the management of returns.
Updated order statuses, tracking numbers of shipped shipments, and item stock counts and stock numbers of the articles are automatically reported by Xentral to the back to the store.
