1.Introduction

This is the manual for the integration between Bol.com and Rompslomp.

This integration ensures that orders from the Bol.com webshop are automatically processed to invoices in Rompslomp. Because the orders enter the webshop owner's accounting system directly, it saves time on financial administration. It is also possible to process payments for the Bol.com orders to Rompslomp. This can be requested via webcare@webwinkelfacturen.nl. Additional costs will be charged for this option.

Please pay special attention to the following
  1. This integration is a financial integration. It is not a logistics integration. It is not suitable for updating customers in Rompslomp, printing packing slips, or synchronizing products/inventory.
  2. This integration does not replace the work of an accountant. It saves time because you no longer have to retype documents. The accountant is still needed for advice, expertise, and control.
  3. The integration attempts to determine the VAT percentage of the product in Rompslomp. If successful, the integration uses the VAT percentage belonging to this product. Otherwise, the integration uses the default VAT percentage as configured in the Configuration tab of the dashboard.
  4. We can integrate with a Rompslomp package where we can create and read debtors and products. Please take this into account if you are currently using a trial period of Rompslomp.
  5. Tip: Other customers using this integration found the tips in the FAQ for Bol.com and in the FAQ for Rompslomp.

Install integration
Installing the integration starts with signing up for a trial period, via our integrations page. After registration, you will receive an email containing an installation URL and login details. With this installation URL, you start the installation of the integration.
The installation is complete when both connection dots are green, and the settings in the Configuration tab have been entered and saved.
There is a trial period of 30 days.
If you want to install another integration, you can do so in the same way. Make sure you are logged out of the integration dashboard and preferably start the new installation in an incognito browser.

Cancel integration
At the end of the trial or subscription period, the integration will not be automatically renewed. You will receive an offer for a one-year subscription or renewal by email at the end of this period. You can confirm the renewal by using the payment link in that email. Do you want to terminate the integration in the meantime? This is possible via the dashboard https://uwkoppeling.webwinkelfacturen.nl, Configuration tab > Cancel integration. The integration will then be cancelled immediately. Please note: After cancellation, the dashboard is no longer accessible.
Are you switching to another web shop/accounting system and do you want to re-establish a connection? In this faq we explain how to do this.
We advise you to revoke the consumer ID and secret within your Bol.com environment upon uninstallation of the integration.

2.How the integration works

A order from the Bol.com webshop is processed to a Rompslomp invoice.

New orders from your webshop are retrieved at least once per hour. Orders are retrieved from the shipping list at Bol.com, not from the Open orders list. An order is only processed once all products in that order have been shipped. Outstanding orders are updated during the night.

Returns are not processed automatically. If you want to process returns, send us an email .

Pre-check orders
At the start of processing an order, we perform a number of checks on the Bol.com order:
  • It is checked whether the total of the Bol.com order is equal to the sum of the amounts in the order lines plus the shipping cost amount.
  • It is checked whether the order has not already been processed.

Pre-check payments
A fictitious payment is processed for every order that has been processed to Rompslomp. No check is made to see if the payment has actually been made because the integration currently cannot see this in Bol.com.

Processing orders
Processing a Bol.com order to Rompslomp takes place in three steps:
  1. It is checked if the customer already exists in Rompslomp. If not, the customer is created. Matching is based on the email address.
  2. It is checked whether the products from the Bol.com order are already present in Rompslomp. Missing products are created.
  3. The Rompslomp invoice is created and processed.

Process payments
A payment is processed to Rompslomp by searching for the unpaid invoice in Rompslomp and adding the payment to this invoice. If the unpaid invoice cannot be found, the payment appears at the Errors tab on the dashboard: https://uwkoppeling.webwinkelfacturen.nl. The integration will attempt to find the outstanding invoice for 2 nights and add the payment to it. If the outstanding invoice appears in Rompslomp 1 or 2 days after the payment is made, that is not a problem.

If the invoice appears in Rompslomp at a later time, the payment can still be manually linked to this outstanding invoice via the blue Process button on the dashboard. Because the payment is added to an invoice, it is not possible to process payments if no invoice can be found.

Post-check
After the order has been forwarded and a success message from Rompslomp has been received, the order is marked as handled. The Bol.com order appears at the Reporting tab on the dashboard.

If Rompslomp returns an error while processing the order, the order appears in the Errors tab on the dashboard. Via the yellow button More info more information about the problem can be found. Via the red button Report problem can the order with all necessary information easily be submitted to us after you have tried to resolve the problem yourself. If the problem is solved, in some cases the orders can be processed again with the blue Process button.

When forwarding the payment, the payment is also registered so that it cannot be processed again. Payments can also be reviewed via the dashboard.

Data
Information about the data that is processed can be found in the section Day-to-day: To Rompslomp later in the manual.

3.Required: Bol.com keys

You create the integration with your Bol.com platform using two keys: a client ID and a secret. You can create these keys within your Bol.com account.

Bol.com itself has a description with pictures on how to create the keys: https://api.bol.com/retailer/public/Retailer-API/credentials_for_retailer_api.html

4.Installation

Before the integration can be used, the terms and conditions must first be accepted. The terms and conditions are based on the general ICT Terms and Conditions (industry organization) and the general GDPR guidelines.

Bol.com authentication:
Authentication with your Bol.com account is done via the Client id and Client secret that you determined in a previous section. Click the red Connect button next to Bol.com and enter the Client id and Client secret in the popup window.

Rompslomp connection
The connection with Rompslomp runs via OAuth. Make sure you are logged out of Rompslomp before starting the connection. Now click the red Connect button. A login screen for your Rompslomp account will automatically appear. If you log in, you will get a screen asking if you allow the connection. If you confirm this, the connection with Rompslomp will be established.

Administration Rompslomp
After the connection with Rompslomp has been established, the administration for the connection must be set. Only then can other settings be made, such as the VAT rates. Refresh the screen with the arrows next to the Copy button to retrieve the data belonging to the administration. Invoice layout Rompslomp
After selecting the administration and refreshing the screen via the arrows next to the Copy button, an invoice layout can be selected.

Configure VAT rates and general ledger accounts
When configuring the VAT rates and general ledger accounts, a link is created between the VAT rates in webshop and the VAT codes and revenue accounts in Rompslomp. You can always make changes by clicking the blue 'Edit' button and selecting an option from the drop-down menus.

Bol.com does not provide VAT percentages on your orders. Therefore, you can enter a default VAT percentage for NL, BE, and Other for the integration.

Intra-Community (ICP) and international deliveries
The Intra-Community supplies / ICP option is intended for business-to-business deliveries within the EU. These sales are invoiced with 0% VAT. A VAT number from the customer is required. The International option applies to deliveries outside the EU. For these sales, the integration expects 0% VAT; otherwise, the sales cannot be processed. Separate VAT codes and general ledger accounts can be configured for both ICP and international deliveries.

Once the VAT settings have been configured and saved, you will always see the selected VAT rates. If you want to start over, you can use the grey 'Remove VAT settings' button. Your current settings will then be deleted and you can begin again.

Configure payment methods
You can create a link here between the payment methods in the webshop and a fixed debtor in your Rompslomp administration. Orders with a payment method from the list will then always be posted to this debtor. In that case, no new debtors will be created.

Setting up payment methods on clearing accounts
When processing payments, a clearing account of type Payment methods is set in Rompslomp. When setting up the clearing accounts, there is no (longer a) possibility to post to fixed debtors per payment method.

5.Day-to-day: From Bol.com

This section explains how the integration retrieves orders from the Bol.com account.

Processing schedule: The integration retrieves orders every hour from the Bol.com shipping list. This means that if orders are still in the open order list of Bol.com (or partially), the orders are not yet processed. The integration can go back up to 3 months in time to retrieve orders. After three months, the orders disappear from the shipping list and the integration can no longer retrieve them.

Once an order has been processed, it cannot be processed again. An order that is modified in Bol after it has been processed will not be adjusted in Rompslomp.

Payments (if activated)
When processing payments, the integration checks every day the Bol.com orders that have been successfully processed to Rompslomp. If the order has been processed, a payment will be created in Rompslomp for this order.

Returns
If you want the integration to process returns in addition to orders, please contact us. We will then enable the returns option. To process returns, the integration retrieves the order for which the return was created. This order is used to determine the return.

Please note: The integration only processes a return if the integration has previously processed the order to which the return relates. For more information see the FAQ.

6.Day-to-day: To Rompslomp

Creating invoices
For orders in Bol.com, invoices can be created in Rompslomp.

Create debtors
When processing customer information, it is first checked whether the customer has been processed before. If so, this Rompslomp debtor is used as the debtor for the Rompslomp transaction. If the customer is not yet known, they are added to Rompslomp. Matching is based on email address.
Please note: The integration only creates debtors. The integration does not modify debtors.

Create products
When processing orders to Rompslomp invoices, the integration first checks whether the products from the order already exist in Rompslomp. The integration then adds missing products to the accounting system. If a product already exists in Rompslomp, the product is not added again. The integration automatically adds the following products in Rompslomp: Shipping costs, Payment costs, Surcharge, Discount and Extra costs.
Rompslomp only accepts SKUs consisting of numbers/letters, without unusual characters.

When creating invoices, the integration uses the VAT percentage as stated in the order from Bol.com. Even if there is a different VAT percentage in the product of Rompslomp.

Create payments
Payments from Bol.com are imported into Rompslomp by adding a payment to the outstanding invoice. This payment consists of the following fields:
  • Amount paid
  • Description: The sales number and the transaction identifier
  • Clearing account, as set in the dashboard
  • Payment date
If no invoice can be found in Rompslomp for the payment, the payment cannot be linked to an outstanding invoice.

Automatically sending invoices
The integration creates the invoice in Rompslomp, but will not automatically send the invoice to the debtor. It is possible to set an invoice layout. This can be done via the dashboard https://uwkoppeling.webwinkelfacturen.nl, tab Configuration.
