Orderlion Integration

Zynk's Orderlion integration is for food and drink wholesalers whose customers order through Orderlion. It sends your customers, products, price bands, discount groups and favourite lists from your accounting or ERP system, such as Sage, Xero, QuickBooks, NetSuite or Business Central, into Orderlion, and exports the orders your customers place so they arrive in the back office without rekeying.

Benefits

Why businesses connect Orderlion

Orders without retyping

Orders that restaurants, cafés and caterers place in Orderlion are exported to your accounting or ERP system with product codes and quantities exactly as entered. Your sales office stops copying them across, and there are fewer picking errors and credit notes.

Agreed prices on every order

Price bands and discount groups are sent to Orderlion from the system that already holds them, so each customer orders at the rates you agreed without a second price list to keep up to date.

A current product range

Products are imported into Orderlion from your item master, so new lines, discontinued products and descriptions stay the same in the app and in your accounts.

Favourite lists ready to reorder

Each customer's favourite list is sent to Orderlion from your back office, so regulars open the app to the products they usually buy and can repeat an order in a few taps.

Customer accounts set up once

New customers created in your accounts are imported into Orderlion with their details, so they can start ordering straight away without a second account to set up by hand.

Ready before the cut-off

Workflows run to a timetable that matches your order cut-off and picking times, so orders placed late in the evening are waiting in the back office when the warehouse team starts the morning shift.

The problem

Why integrate Orderlion?

Moving customers onto Orderlion takes order taking off the phone, but the app is only as good as the data behind it, and each order still has to reach the system that invoices and picks it. If that link is manual, orders are copied across, prices drift out of date and the time saved by digital ordering is lost again in the back office.

Without integration

App orders copied into the ERP before the warehouse can pick them
Price band and discount changes made in the ERP but not in the app
New products listed in the accounts but missing from the app
New customers set up twice, once in the accounts and once in the app
Each customer's usual order rebuilt by hand in the app

With Zynk

Orders exported to the back office ready to process
Price bands and discount groups sent from the system that owns them
Products imported into Orderlion from your item master
Customers imported into Orderlion from your accounts
Favourite lists maintained once, in your back office

How it works

How the Orderlion integration works

Step 1: Review your setup
We look at how Orderlion is configured for your business, which accounting or ERP system you use and how customers, products, price bands, discount groups and favourite lists are maintained today, including any delivery days or minimum order values set per customer.
Step 2: Connect both systems
Zynk connects to your Orderlion account and to your accounting or ERP system, then sets up the tasks: customers, products, price bands, discount groups and favourite lists into Orderlion, and orders back out.
Step 3: Map and test
Customers, products, units and prices are matched between both systems. Units need particular care when one product sells by the case, the kilo or the single item. Sample orders then run through the workflow so your team can check them before anything goes live.
Step 4: Run every day
Workflows run on a schedule that fits your order cut-off times, with alerts if an order or a product update needs someone to look at it.

Orderlion integration FAQs

What data does Zynk sync between Orderlion and my ERP?

Zynk imports customers, products, price bands, discount groups and favourite lists into Orderlion from your accounting or ERP system, and exports the orders your customers place in Orderlion back to it. We confirm which of these you need during scoping.

Can Orderlion connect to Sage 50 or Sage 200?

Yes. Zynk connects Orderlion to Sage 50 and Sage 200, so orders taken in the app can be processed in Sage without retyping, and your Sage customers, products and price bands keep Orderlion up to date. We confirm the exact mappings during scoping, based on how your Sage company is set up.

Does Orderlion work with Xero or QuickBooks?

Yes. Orderlion orders can reach Xero or QuickBooks Online through Zynk, which suits smaller wholesalers that invoice from an accounting package rather than a full ERP. Customers and products can be maintained from the same system.

What is Orderlion?

Orderlion is an ordering platform for food and beverage wholesalers and distributors. It gives a supplier's customers, such as restaurants and caterers, an ordering app and web shop with personalised prices and favourite lists, and passes their orders to the supplier.

Do I need a developer to connect Orderlion to my ERP?

No. Zynk scopes, builds and supports the integration for you. Your team tells us how orders, products and prices should behave, and we handle the mappings, the schedule and the connection to your back office.

Can Orderlion connect to NetSuite or Business Central?

Yes. Larger wholesalers running NetSuite or Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central can have Orderlion orders processed there as well. The approach is the same: agree the records, map customers and products, test with real orders and then schedule.

What should I prepare before an Orderlion project?

Have your price bands and discount groups, the product codes used in your ERP, any customer favourite lists and your order cut-off times to hand. Those details shape the mappings and the schedule, and help us confirm the scope quickly.
