Connect your Komet Sales account to BloomNet to synchronize your Inventory. With this integration, you can have your available Inventory and receive orders directly from BloomNet into your Komet Sales account.

The Inventory in BloomNet synchronizes every five minutes. It is possible that products no longer available in Komet Sales still appear in BloomNet. To prevent this, you can Reserve Inventory exclusively for BloomNet.

Orders created through the API are subject to a transaction fee.

How does this integration work?

Using some of the available API methods, you can synchronize your Open Market and Future Sales inventories with BloomNet. That way, when a Customer places an order through BloomNet for your products, the system automatically creates an order in your Komet Sales account.

Here are some of the highlights:

  • Open Market Inventory (On-Hand or Future) is available to sell to your BloomNet Customers.

  • You can create Standing Orders directly in Bloomnet.

  • Your Inventory is synchronized and updated to the BloomNet system every 5 minutes.

  • Customers can buy products directly from the BloomNet website.

  • Once a customer checks out an order, Komet Sales automatically creates an Invoice or a Prebook in your Komet account.

When creating standing orders, it's important to use a different customer account than the one used to configure suppliers under the Reserve Inventory field. This means that to create standing orders via bloomnet, you must create a new Bloomnet customer and use the final customer’s shipping address. Do not use the same reserved inventory customer for Standing Orders as this will create discrepancies on your Standing Orders.
