Why integrate 1C with your website
Manually moving data between 1C and the website means wasted time, errors and outdated information. Integration automates the exchange and saves hours of work every day.
What you can synchronize
From 1C to the website
- Product catalog — names, descriptions, attributes
- Prices — retail, wholesale, by price lists
- Stock — availability across warehouses in real time
- Images — product photos
- Categories — catalog structure
From the website to 1C
- Orders — automatic document creation
- Customers — new counterparties
- Payments — payment statuses
Integration methods
1. Standard exchange (CommerceML)
The data exchange format between 1C and a website:
- ✅ Supported by most CMSs
- ✅ No programming required
- ❌ Limited flexibility
- ❌ Scheduled exchange (not real-time)
2. API integration
Direct interaction via an API:
- ✅ Real-time synchronization
- ✅ Full flexibility
- ✅ Any data
- ❌ Requires development
- ❌ More expensive
3. Intermediary services
Ready-made integration solutions:
- MoySklad
- RetailCRM
- Albato, ApiX-Drive
Typical scenarios

- Order status is synced back
B2B portal
- Personal prices for each customer
- Order history from 1C

Integrating 1C with your website is an investment in efficiency: automatic exchange saves a manager 2–4 hours a day, removes manual-entry errors and keeps stock and prices up to date. The choice of method (standard CommerceML exchange, API or an intermediary service) depends on catalog size, how fresh the data must be and your 1C configuration.
