Celigo Powered Magento NetSuite Integration
for Global e-Commerce Vivobarefoot
Client Overview
Vivobarefoot is a global footwear brand operating across multiple Magento stores in the UK and international markets. With multi-currency transactions, varying VAT structures, promotional campaigns, and pre-order operations, the business required a highly controlled and intelligent Magento–NetSuite integration capable of handling financial complexity at scale.
Business Objective
Vivobarefoot set out to strengthen its existing order integration to better support the demands of a rapidly growing global e-Commerce operation. As the business expanded across regions and currencies, it required greater financial precision, consistent VAT-aligned discount handling, clearer visibility into promotional orders, and tighter control over pre-order workflows.
At the same time, the company wanted to enhance, its current integration framework. The objective was to evolve the architecture into a more intelligent, scalable, and future-ready solution that could support international growth, complex campaigns, and increasing transaction volumes without disrupting ongoing operations.

Challenges
Multi-Currency Transactions
With multiple storefronts operating in different currencies, ensuring that the correct values were reflected in NetSuite for reporting and reconciliation became increasingly complex.
Handling Promotional Orders
Some promotional campaigns resulted in zero-value orders. These needed to be clearly separated from revenue-generating transactions to avoid distorting financial reporting.
VAT & Discount Alignment
Discounts applied in Magento included VAT, while NetSuite required VAT-exclusive values for accurate tax calculations. This mismatch created reconciliation challenges.
Customer Routing
Orders needed to be categorized differently depending on the payment method used. The standard integration setup did not support this level of flexibility.

Smarter Pricing & Currency Logic
We enhanced the order flow to intelligently evaluate currency context and pricing logic before posting transactions into NetSuite. This ensured that the correct rate was applied regardless of storefront or payment variation. As a result, finance teams gained confidence that reported revenue accurately reflected real sales performance, eliminating the need for manual adjustments and reconciliation efforts.
Clear Classification of Promotional Orders
Promotional campaigns are essential for growth, but when zero-value (FOC) orders are not properly categorized, they can distort revenue reporting and misrepresent performance metrics. We introduced automated logic to identify promotional orders that resulted in zero grand totals and classify them separately. This ensured that revenue reports remained clean and accurate while still allowing marketing teams to run aggressive promotional strategies without financial ambiguity.
VAT-Compliant Discount Handling
Tax compliance across systems is a recurring pain point for businesses operating in VAT-regulated regions. We restructured how discount values were transmitted so they aligned correctly with NetSuite’s tax engine. By ensuring VAT-compliant handling of discounts, we eliminated mismatches and improved the integrity of tax calculations. This not only reduced reconciliation challenges but also minimized compliance risks, a critical requirement for growing international brands.
Intelligent Payment-Based Order Routing
We enabled dynamic order routing based on payment method, ensuring that transactions were mapped appropriately without interfering with existing workflows. This provided clearer financial visibility, improved settlement tracking, and prevented unintended data overwrites, all while preserving the stability of the current integration setup.
Controlled Pre-Order Automation
We implemented a structured pre-order workflow that ensured orders entered NetSuite in a controlled “hold” state and were automatically released once inventory became available. This prevented premature fulfillment, protected stock accuracy, and ensured smoother coordination between sales and warehouse teams.
Stronger Governance & Monitoring
As order volumes grow, the risk of duplicate exports, incomplete updates, or unnoticed errors increases. By introducing export controls and structured monitoring to improve transparency and prevent duplicate processing. This reduced manual intervention, enhanced system stability, and provided operational teams with greater visibility into order flows, creating a more resilient and scalable integration environment.
