What is the ERP DIY Integration App
The ERP DIY Integration App allows a quick integration with any ERP. It's an easy-to-use App Store allowing multiple optional functionalities.

To use this app store, you will need to have an API that can support responses and requests based on the below documentation.

Customer A/R Balance, we have this article.
Checkout Tax Integration, we have this article.

Tricks and tips
All errors are suppressed for the end user, the errors can be seen on the Event module.
The functionalities are enabled and disabled depending on the endpoint, if it's provided or not.
Developer experience
After the developer scopes the previous mentioned articles and builds the Api endpoints, we provide a simple to use way of testing and debugging the code.
Follow the steps:
Go to the storefront in Customers > All Users > (View a user) > "Login On storefront". (Be sure that the user has permission to do the action)
Perform the action.
Track the Event on Admin in Developers > Events > (select the event).
Observe the image above, there's a lot of information about the request, being the most important the sections "Object Payload" and "Related Requests".
Object Payload
On the "event_data" we can obtain the following fields:
external_customer_id: We save the Account Number used in the request.
related_to:
customer: In some cases, we store the Evox Account ID.
user: In some cases, we store the Evox User ID.
evoxlogger_trace_id: The trace ID provided here is use by the Evox Staff.
error: The error is a short message, in human language, describing an existing problem.
Related Requests
In this section we can obtain more data about the request and the response provided by the ERP Api. We can confirm the Method, Endpoint, response Status, the request Date, and the request ID.
After clicking on the request ID a new page is going to be load, with information changed between Evox and the ERP Api.
The Payload contains the request made for the ERP Api and the response given.
Note: The Related Requests section, it's an asynchronous event trigger after the request has been made, because of that, the section may have a delay and not be access when the event is created.
