ECOSIRE scopes, builds, installs, and supports it — not an instant download. Built to order by ECOSIRE for ERPNext v15, v16 — indicative price from $999.00 USD; request a quote for a scoped proposal.

Key Features

Dedicated Frappe app with its own module, installable via `bench get-app` / `bench install-app`, compatible with ERPNext and Frappe v15 and v16
`Jumia Settings` single DocType storing API credentials (encrypted password fields) and per-country/marketplace configuration
`Jumia SKU Map` DocType linking each Jumia SKU and shop-SKU to an ERPNext `Item` plus source warehouse
Scheduled order pull via `scheduler_events` in `hooks.py` (configurable cron) that creates/updates `Sales Order` and `Delivery Note` documents
Idempotent order ingestion keyed on the Jumia order number so re-runs never create duplicate Sales Orders
Two-way inventory sync: ERPNext `Bin` quantity changes push available stock back to Jumia via debounced `doc_events` to prevent overselling
Price-list-driven price push from ERPNext `Item Price` records out to Jumia listings
Listing and SKU creation/update pushed to Jumia directly from ERPNext `Item` records
Jumia dispatch and pack-station shipment workflow with tracking numbers written back to the `Delivery Note`
Settlement reconciliation that imports Jumia payout statements and drafts matching `Payment Entry` plus fee `Journal Entry` records
`Jumia Sync Log` DocType capturing request/response payloads, status, and errors for a full audit trail
Whitelisted (`@frappe.whitelist()`) endpoints for manual re-sync, webhook receipt, and connection testing, guarded by permissions
Retry-and-backoff handling on API failures with error surfacing to the log and optional email/notification alerts
Role Profiles and DocType permission rules separating credential admins from order-processing operators; client scripts add re-sync buttons and status indicators

About this Product

If you sell on Jumia across one or more African markets, the daily reality is a second browser tab: pulling new orders out of the Jumia Vendor Center, re-keying them into ERPNext, manually adjusting stock so you don't oversell, printing Jumia shipping labels from a portal ERPNext never sees, and reconciling settlement statements in a spreadsheet at month-end. ERPNext gives you a genuinely strong Sales Order, Item, Stock Ledger Entry, and Payment Entry backbone — but out of the box it has no idea Jumia exists. There is no native Jumia channel, no marketplace order importer, and no place to store your Jumia SKU mapping or shipment status. That gap is exactly where oversells, missed dispatch SLAs, and unreconciled payouts come from.

ECOSIRE builds a proper Frappe application — a versioned app in its own apps/ directory with a clean module, not a pile of loose customizations — that makes Jumia a first-class sales channel inside ERPNext. We model the integration as real DocTypes: a Jumia Settings single DocType holds your API credentials and per-country configuration, a Jumia SKU Map links each Jumia SKU/shop-SKU to an ERPNext Item and warehouse, and a Jumia Sync Log gives you an auditable record of every call and its payload. Order ingestion runs on scheduler_events (cron/hourly hooks in hooks.py) that call the Jumia Vendor API, then create or update ERPNext Sales Order and Delivery Note documents idempotently keyed on the Jumia order number so a re-run never duplicates. Whitelisted methods (@frappe.whitelist()) expose secured endpoints for manual re-sync and webhook receipt, and doc_events hooks push ERPNext-side changes — a stock update or a price change — back out to Jumia.

On the inventory and pricing side we implement true two-way sync: when your Bin quantity changes in ERPNext (via a stock entry, purchase receipt, or another channel's sale) a on_update/on_submit doc event debounces and pushes the new available quantity to Jumia so you stop overselling; price-list changes flow out the same way. Listing and SKU push lets you create or update Jumia listings from ERPNext Item records instead of the Vendor Center. The shipping workflow wires Jumia's dispatch and pack-station steps to ERPNext — generating the Jumia shipment, storing tracking on the Delivery Note, and moving the order through its fulfilment states — and the settlement reconciliation piece imports Jumia payout/statement data and drafts matching Payment Entry and fee Journal Entry records so your Jumia revenue actually ties out to the bank. Role Profiles and permission rules scope who can touch credentials versus who just processes orders, and client scripts add the buttons and status indicators your team uses day to day.

Because this is build-to-order, nothing ships until we've agreed on scope. We start with a short scoping call to confirm which Jumia countries and account tier you run, your ERPNext version (v15 or v16), your warehouse and SKU model, and which of the five capability areas you actually need on day one. We then build against your real requirements, validate on a staging bench with your data, run UAT with you, and cut over with a documented rollback. Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope, depending on how many countries and how much settlement logic are in play. You receive the full source of your version, install and configuration, technical and user documentation, a training session, and a post-go-live support window — and you own the git repository at handover.

What you get

  • Installable source code for your commissioned version of the Frappe app, targeting your ERPNext v15 or v16 bench
  • Installation and configuration on your environment, including `Jumia Settings`, scheduler registration, and SKU mapping setup
  • Technical documentation: DocType reference, hooks/scheduler map, whitelisted-method list, and API-credential/config guide
  • User guide plus a live training session for your order-processing and finance teams
  • UAT on a staging bench using your data, with a documented cutover and rollback plan
  • Post-go-live support window for defect fixes and configuration adjustments
  • Handover of the git repository so you own the code and its history
  • Source-to-live change log and a short runbook for re-sync, reconciliation, and error triage

Who this is for

Jumia multi-country seller on ERPNext

A brand or retailer selling across several Jumia marketplaces (Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt, Ivory Coast, etc.) who needs one ERPNext instance to be the source of truth for orders, stock, and payouts instead of juggling a Vendor Center tab per country.

Operations / fulfilment manager

Owns the dispatch SLA and warehouse accuracy. Needs Jumia orders to land as `Sales Order` and `Delivery Note` documents automatically, stock to sync so nothing oversells, and shipment/tracking status to live inside ERPNext rather than a separate portal.

Finance / accounts lead

Responsible for tying Jumia revenue to the bank. Needs settlement statements imported and drafted into `Payment Entry` and fee `Journal Entry` records so marketplace payouts, commissions, and fees reconcile cleanly at month-end.

ERP administrator / integrator

Runs the ERPNext bench and cares about maintainability. Wants a clean, versioned Frappe app with real DocTypes, documented hooks, an audit log, and owned git history — not brittle server-script hacks that break on the next upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions about ERPNext Jumia Vendor Connector

How long does delivery take?

This is a build-to-order product, so nothing is downloaded instantly. After we confirm scope on the initial call, typical delivery is one working week. The exact timeline depends on how many Jumia countries you run and how much of the shipping and settlement-reconciliation logic you need on day one.

What do I get in terms of support and updates after go-live?

Every build includes a post-go-live support window for defect fixes and configuration adjustments. Because you receive full source and own the git repository at handover, you can maintain it yourself or engage ECOSIRE for ongoing support, Jumia API changes, and ERPNext version upgrades under a separate arrangement.

Which ERPNext versions are supported?

We build and test against ERPNext and Frappe v15 and v16. We confirm your exact version on the scoping call and target that bench, so the app installs cleanly via `bench install-app` and passes UAT on your staging environment before cutover.

Is this a Frappe Cloud Marketplace app I can just install?

No. It is not an existing off-the-shelf marketplace download. ECOSIRE scopes, builds, installs, and supports a Frappe app tailored to your Jumia account setup, countries, and warehouse/SKU model — then hands over the source and repository to you.

How does it avoid overselling across channels?

Inventory sync is two-way. When your ERPNext `Bin` quantity changes — from a Jumia sale, another channel, a stock entry, or a purchase receipt — a debounced `doc_events` hook pushes the new available quantity back to Jumia. Order ingestion is also idempotent, keyed on the Jumia order number, so re-runs never double-book stock.

Do I need to give you my live Jumia and ERPNext access?

For build and UAT we work against a staging bench and Jumia API test/sandbox credentials where available. Live credentials are stored in the `Jumia Settings` DocType using encrypted password fields, and we scope credential access with Role Profiles so only administrators can view or change them.

Can I start with just order sync and add more later?

Yes. The five capability areas — order sync, inventory/price sync, listing push, shipping workflow, and settlement reconciliation — are modular. Many customers commission order and inventory sync first, then add shipping and settlement in a later phase. We scope your day-one set on the initial call.
