Completion: Your BrightConnect configuration is now complete and ready to start syncing. For any inquiries or assistance, please email us at contact@apiworx.com.


How to Map Items Between Platforms?

In the Settings, you have the option to match products between DSCO and Brightpearl using their unique IDs. Select a field from both platforms where you store the unique ID of your product or item. The system will automatically use this field for mapping.

What if some of your items don't have a unique key? No problem! We also provide an option for mapping those items according to your requirements.


The Item Mapping page enables you to view all items, perform mappings, and update these mappings as needed.

How to Map Customers Between Platforms?

BrightConnect enables automatic creation of customers associated with orders from DSCO through our settings.

If you prefer not to use the automatic creation feature, no problem! We offer the option to manually map customers as well. This can be done through the Customer Mapping page, where you can map customers and even create new ones in Brightpearl with just a few clicks.
