1.Introduction

This is the manual for the integration between Ecwid and King/MUIS.

This integration ensures that orders from the Ecwid webshop are processed daily to journal entries or orders in King/MUIS.Because the orders enter the merchant's accounting system directly, it saves time on financial administration. Please note: The integration only processes orders. The integration does not process refunds.

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 King/MUIS, 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. Tip: Other customers using this integration found the tips in the FAQ for Ecwid and in the FAQ for King/MUIS.

There are two ways to install the integration. From the Ecwid App Store or via the integrations page from our website. There is a difference in trial period and amount between the two methods.

Installing the integration from the Ecwid App Store
You install this integration from the Ecwid App Store. You can find us via Apps > AppMarket > Accounting in the Ecwid dashboard. Upon activation, you will be automatically guided through the configuration screens. The Installation section in this manual explains how this process continues.

If you install the integration via the Ecwid App Store, the trial period is 14 days and you pay 18.95 per month. The integration can be canceled monthly.

Install integration via the integrations page from our website
You request a trial period via the integrations page by selecting Ecwid as the shop system and the desired accounting system. After requesting the trial period, you can immediately log in to your personal dashboard and further configure the integration. The Installation section in this manual explains how this process continues.

If you install the integration via the integrations page from our website, the trial period is 30 days and you pay 170 euros per year. After the trial period, you will receive a payment link if you wish to continue using the integration.

Disabling the integration from the Ecwid App Store
If you have activated the integration in the Ecwid App Store and you want to terminate it, you can easily do so by removing the app in your backend. Are you switching to another accounting system and want to create a new integration? You can install the new app from the app store in your backend. Make sure you are logged out of the dashboard of the old integration and preferably start the new installation in an incognito browser.

Are you switching to another webshop system? Via our integrations page you can see whether you install it from the relevant app store, or by means of an installation link.

Has the installation been successful, but do you see in the dashboard of the integration the old license key still present when you click the dropdown arrow next to the key (even though that app/key has been deleted)? If so, please send us an email requesting that the old key be removed.

Stop integration via our website
If you have activated the integration via our website Then you can terminate the integration via the dashboard, Profile tab >> Disable integration.
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.

2.How the integration works

A order from the Ecwid webshop is processed to an King/MUIS journal entry or order. The desired option can be configured via the Configuration tab of the dashboard.

Ecwid works with webhooks. We receive a notification as soon as a new order is created in your webshop or if an order changes. If the order can be processed - this depends on the status - the integration places the order in the processing queue. Depending on how busy the processing queue is, the order will be processed quickly or slightly later. In general, the queues move quickly.

Pre-check
At the start of processing an order, we perform a number of checks on the Ecwid order:
  • It is checked whether the total of the Ecwid order is equal to the sum of the amounts in the order lines plus the shipping cost amount.
  • If the order is an ICP order, the VAT number is checked.
  • It is checked whether a corresponding VAT code exists in King/MUIS for the VAT in each line.
  • It is checked whether the order has not already been processed.

Processing orders
Processing a Ecwid order to King/MUIS happens in three steps:
  1. It is checked if the customer already exists in King/MUIS. If not, the customer is created. Matching is based on the email address.
  2. When processing to King/MUIS orders, it is checked whether the products from the Ecwid order are already present in King/MUIS. Missing products are created.
  3. The King/MUIS journal entry or order is created and processed.

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

If King/MUIS 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.

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

3.Required: MUIS environmental code

To integrate with MUIS, you need to request an environment code. MUIS has a manual explaining how to do this. A shortened version follows.

Read more Required Imuis ....
Read less Required Imuis ....

Option 1: The entrepreneur / accountant works with iMUIS Online (SAAS / Web-based)

For the integration, the customer requires a subscription to the iMUIS Online Cloudswitch module for each administration. The accountant can select this for the entrepreneur via User Management. Alternatively, if the entrepreneur does not work through an accountant, the customer can take out a subscription themselves. Subsequently, the entrepreneur generates an environment code via iMUIS Online > Management > My data / Subscription / Connections tab Connections. An environment code is generated when you click on Connect with us as a partner (webwinkelfacturen). Copy this environment code. You will need it to establish the integration between the webshop and MUIS.

Option 2: The entrepreneur / accountant works with iMUIS Business Software (Windows)
In this situation, the entrepreneur must possess an iMUIS Online license, and iMUIS Online must be available on their own server. The entrepreneur generates an environment code via iMUIS Online > Management > My details / Subscription / Connections, Connections tab. An environment code is generated when you click on Connect with us as a partner (webshop invoices). Copy this environment code. You will need it to establish the connection between the webshop and MUIS.

If you use the MUIS orders option, you need to configure the following additional items in MUIS:
- Add item group 29 and enter the revenue account for this item group. New products are automatically added to this item group.
- Add webshop order type, because the orders forwarded to MUIS use this order type.
- Add the Shipping Costs shipping method to the MUIS shipping methods. Ensure that you set a default delivery condition and a preferred order method for the shipping method, and that you link the shipping method to the webshop order type.

4.Installation

After installation, check using this FAQ, whether the integration works.

There are two ways to install the integration: Via the Ecwid App Store or via the integrations page from our website.
Read more Installation .... Read less Installation ....

1. You install the integration via your Ecwid backend

You log in to your Ecwid account and search for webwinkelfacturen. The apps will then appear automatically. You can recognize us as a supplier by the blue gear icon. If you click on the App, you will see a description and the Open button.

When you click the Open button, you must first authorize the integration to read data from your webshop. This is clearly indicated in the following screen. You also need to approve the monthly fee for the integration. Once you have approved the monthly fee, the connection with your Ecwid account is established. You will automatically receive a registration email from us containing a username and password for your personal dashboard https://uwkoppeling.webwinkelfacturen.nl.

2. You install the integration via the integrations page from our website

Via the integrations page from our website, you select Ecwid and the accounting system of your choice. A new screen appears where you can fill in your details. This data will be used for retrieving orders from Ecwid and for invoicing. After the form is completed and sent, you will receive your unique codes to log in to your dashboard.

The following steps still need to be completed:
1. Accepting the general terms and conditions.
2. Establishing the connection with the Ecwid webshop. This step does not need to be performed if you established the integration via the Ecwid App Store.
3. Establishing the connection with King/MUIS. This gives the integration permission to write transactions to your King/MUIS administration and to read information.
4. Configuring additional data, such as the VAT settings.

Before the integration can be used, the terms and conditions must first be accepted. The terms are based on the general ICT Terms (industry association) and the general GDPR guidelines. We also require a name, email address, and the country of the webshop.

Webshop authentication: - only for installation via the integrations page from our website
The authentication with the webshop is handled via OAuth. Ensure you are logged out of your webshop before establishing the connection. Now click the red Connect button. A login screen for the webshop will automatically appear. Once you log in, you will see a screen asking if you allow the connection. If you confirm this, the connection will be established.

If you want to re-establish the connection at a later time, you can always do so by clicking the Connect button.

Authentication King/MUIS
You click the red Connect button for MUIS Software. You establish the connection with MUIS by entering the environment code. You determined this environment code in the previous section.

Journal and debtors account
To process to King/MUIS financial entries, you can configure a debtors account and journal. To process to King/MUIS orders, a journal is not required.

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 King/MUIS. You can always make changes by clicking the blue 'Edit' button and selecting an option from the drop-down menus.

By default, all EU countries are shown in the list. You only need to configure the countries you sell to, and - if applicable - ICP and International.
The integration shows the standard VAT rates for Europe. You can adjust the VAT percentage with which you sell - left column. For example: By default, sales to Germany are set to 21%, but if you sell in the webshop with 19%, you can adjust that in the left column. 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 King/MUIS 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.
Note: It is not possible to set fixed debtors for ICP orders. For an ICP order, a valid VAT number must be transmitted. Therefore, a debtor will always be created in King/MUIS for an ICP order.

5.Day-to-day: From Ecwid

Processing schedule: Ecwid works with webhooks. We receive a notification as soon as a new order is created in your webshop or if an order changes. If the order can be processed - this depends on the status - the integration places the order in the processing queue. Depending on how busy the processing queue is, the order will be processed quickly or slightly later. In general, the queues move quickly.

Once an order has been processed, it cannot be processed again. Any order changed in the webshop after it has been processed will not be updated in King/MUIS.

Debtors The integration first checks if the debtor is already present in the accounting system. If not, the integration creates the debtor in King/MUIS. Matching of debtors between Ecwid and King/MUIS takes place based on email address.

VAT numbers For business orders within the EU, outside the Netherlands, a VAT number is mandatory. The integration checks for this.

Refunds
The integration only processes orders. The integration does not process refunds.

Gift Vouchers
Ecwid orders have an option for gift vouchers. Ecwid deducts the gift voucher amount from the order total. Therefore, the integration will create a negative order line with 0% VAT for the order amount. This can cause issues with orders to the EU because no 0% VAT setting is available for those orders.

Please contact us if this is an issue for you. We will then advise if it is still possible to resolve this situation via a workaround.

6.Day-to-day: To MUIS

Creating invoices / sales transactions
The orders from Ecwid are imported into King/MUIS as financial entries or orders. For each order, the VAT and general ledger account are provided as configured during the installation of the integration.

When creating entries / orders, new debtors and/or products may be added to King/MUIS.

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

Create products
Product VAT: When creating new products - orders option - in King/MUIS, the integration uses the VAT percentage in the order line. This means that products in ICP and International orders will be created with 0% VAT in King/MUIS. After all, the integration has no other VAT percentage available for the product.
Item group: Products are placed in item group 29. This item group must be present in the MUIS administration.
Dummy products The integration does not work with dummy products because shipping costs and other costs are included as an amount in the header of the order.
Please note: Products are only created in King/MUIS. Products in King/MUIS are never modified.

Automatically sending invoices
The integration creates an order or financial entry in King/MUIS, not an invoice. Therefore, the integration cannot ensure that an invoice is automatically sent from King/MUIS.
