What is the connector installation?
The DataLink Connector consists of two parts. The web part is pre installed to the eCommerce web site by DataLink team. The offline part will be installed by our specialist through the remote access on the computer where Accounting Software/ERP master database is stored.
Can I install the web part of connector myself?
There is a standard installation wizard, however we recommend to contact our team for special instructions.
Can the connector work through local network?
Unfortunately, we don’t provide such facility. The DataLink connector must be installed onto the same computer as Accounting Software/ERP.
Can DataLink handle large volumes of data?
Yes, and it is quite fast. Our software was stress-tested for large volume data operations, more than 1,000 orders were imported within an hour.
What if I want to only send 100 out of 10,000 products for an update?
We can make it dependant on certain flag settings in the DataLink ‘Options Screen’.
Can I deal with multiple webshops?
Yes, DataLink can connect to multiple web shops. Let us know how many shops you’d like to connect via DataLink and we will provide you with a corresponding solution.
I don’t want to synchronise all orders from my online store but only the new ones. What should I do?
The connector has an option “Synchronise orders starting from” on the eCommerce ‘Options Screen’. You can enter the order ID and synchronisation will start from that order.
What is the Test connection button for?
The Test connection button is to check the connector’s settings. When you configure your eCommerce or Accounting software options you must be sure if the connector can access your web site and Accounting software database properly.
If DataLink connector has damaged my Accounting Software database what should I do?
It never happens if your DataLink connector’s options and settings were set up properly. Please see our DataLink Connector User Guide for more details. Also we strongly recommend all our customers to backup their databases regularly.
How can I see the synchronisation progress?
Please pay attention to connector’s tray icon and hint – if synchronisation process is still going it will blink and the hint will show you what is exactly happening now.
I’ve tried to synchronise my data with DataLink connector but nothing happens. What should I do?
If you are under a firewall or any antivirus software is installed on your computer it can block DataLink connector. Please check your firewall or antivirus software options and add the connector into the Exceptions list.
I have orders that often contain items with VAT and items that are zero VAT rated. Will the connector deal with these mixed orders correctly?
Yes, it will recognize such orders correctly if you have tax classes and tax rates set up in your online store properly.
What happens if halfway through the download I lose my internet connection? Does it check for orders not to be duplicated?
Yes, DataLink connector checks for orders not to be duplicated. It won’t create one more order if it has been already imported. It uses the Our Ref. field to store web shop’s order ID and checks this field.
Is the transfer line secure against hackers?
Yes. First of all, we recommend it to be SSL (HTTPS) protected. Then, we encrypt the data on the site and decrypt it again already in the connector software.
Is there an activity created when the order is made so you can quickly identify new orders?
Yes. A notification message appears for about 30 seconds; also we can play a sound file.
Do I get an email when new orders have arrived?
By default – not, however we can add the functionality that triggers email notification on the website.
I’d like all downloaded online orders belong to the same customer’s account. Is it possible?
Yes, it’s possible, please mention this requirement during the installation.
What kind of customer support / help with installation do you offer?
We ensure the system works fine once it’s set up. After the installation two-months support plan is provided, we won’t charge you for the fixes and some system updates applied within this period.
What is the support if I have a problem with DataLink?

Usually your ticket will be professionally processed and answered within the next 24 business hours.
