1.Introduction
This is the manual for the integration between JouwWeb and Informer.
This integration ensures that orders from the JouwWeb webshop are automatically processed to invoices in Informer. Because the orders enter the webshop owner's accounting system directly, it saves time on financial administration.
Please note: The integration only processes orders. The integration does not process refunds.
Please note: The integration only processes orders. The integration does not process refunds.
Please pay special attention to the following
- This integration is a financial integration. It is not a logistics integration. It is not suitable for updating customers in Informer, printing packing slips, or synchronizing products/inventory.
- 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.
Tip: Other customers using this integration found the tips in the FAQ for JouwWeb and in the FAQ for Informer.
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.

Pre-check orders
At the start of processing an order, we perform a number of checks on the JouwWeb order:
At the start of processing an order, we perform a number of checks on the JouwWeb order:
- It is checked whether the total of the JouwWeb order is equal to the sum of the amounts in the order lines plus the shipping costs amount.
- If the order is an ICP order, the VAT number is checked.
- It is checked whether a corresponding VAT code exists in Informer for the VAT in each line.
- It is checked whether the order has not already been processed.
Processing orders
Processing a Jouwweb order to Informer takes place in two steps:
Processing a Jouwweb order to Informer takes place in two steps:
- It is checked if the customer already exists in Informer. If not, the customer is created. Matching is based on the email address.
- The Informer invoice is created and processed.
Post-check
After the order has been processed and a success message has been received from Informer, the order is marked as handled. The JouwWeb order appears in the Reporting tab on the dashboard.
If Informer 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 Informer later in the manual.

3.Required: Informer API key/code
Two pieces of information are required to integrate with Informer:
1. The security code. This is the security code you use to log in to Informer.
2. An API key. You create this in your Informer backend.

Webshop authentication
The authentication with the webshop runs via OAuth. Make sure you are logged out of your webshop before establishing the connection. Now click the red Connect button. A login screen for the JouwWeb webshop will automatically appear. If you log in, you will get 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.
Informer connection
You establish the connection with Informer using the security code and API key you determined in the previous step. Click the red Connect button next to Informer. You can now enter the security code and the API key in the popup window.
Webshop
Multiple webshops can be present within one Jouwweb account. You can set here for which webshop you want to create the integration.
Processing status
You can specify which statuses orders should be processed to Informer. You can select multiple statuses. The integration will never forward orders twice. The integration is protected against this.

Invoice layout, payment condition and currency
For the Informer connection, you must specify an invoice layout, a payment condition for new debtors, and indicate how the currencies in Jouwweb should be processed in Informer. This can be done very easily via the blue Edit buttons and the selection boxes that then appear.

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 Informer. 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 this 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 Informer 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 Informer for an ICP order.

5.Day-to-day: From Jouwweb
Processing schedule: New orders from your webshop are retrieved and processed to Informer at least once per hour. In addition, every night the orders that were previously retrieved and not yet forwarded to your accounting system are reviewed. The order status of these orders is checked to determine if they should now be processed.
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 Informer.
Please note: The integration only processes orders, no returns / refunds.

Please note: The integration only processes orders, no returns / refunds.
Order and invoice numbers: JouwWeb orders only have an order number, no invoice number. Therefore, only the order number can be processed.
Processing status:
For each order, the status of the order is reviewed. You have previously indicated when you want orders to be processed to your accounting system. This choice can be viewed - and changed - in the Configuration tab of the dashboard at status for processing sales.
Orders that are retrieved and have a status other than one of the chosen options will be automatically processed the following night if they have been assigned one of the chosen options in Jouwweb.
VAT numbers For business orders within the EU, outside the Netherlands, a VAT number is mandatory. The integration checks for this and also verifies the validity of the VAT number.
