1C / BAS integration with Drupal - data exchange for complex, high-traffic sites
Drupal is usually chosen for projects with higher architecture and load requirements, so we build the exchange with 1C or BAS through a REST API or a task queue, designed to hold up under your site’s actual traffic.
Drupal projects are rarely simple, and the data exchange needs to account for that
Companies with non-standard requirements usually choose Drupal: complex content structures, custom material types, integrations with other systems, higher load. If the site runs Drupal Commerce, the order structure, product variations, and attributes are usually configured around specific business processes too, rather than left standard.
An exchange with 1C or BAS for a site like this can’t be a simple file-import script running once a day, it needs an architecture that holds up under real load and doesn’t block the site during sync.
What we can sync
Product catalog through
Drupal Commerce Products, variations, and attributes are exported from 1C/BAS into the Drupal Commerce structure, accounting for custom fields where they exist.
Stock and prices
Stock and price updates from the accounting system, on a schedule or through a task queue (Queue API), to avoid loading the site with direct synchronous requests.
Orders back into 1C/BAS
Orders are transferred from the site into the accounting system, including statuses and shipping data, if configured.
Custom content types
If products or related data are built through non-standard Content Types, this is accounted for when building the exchange.
Integration via REST API or JSON:API
We use Drupal's standard data exchange mechanisms, making the solution easier to maintain going forward.
The order of work
Before starting, we review your site’s architecture: which Drupal version, whether Drupal Commerce is in use, which custom content types and fields are involved in the catalog. This matters more for Drupal than for other CMSs, a standard structure here is the exception rather than the rule.
– We set up the exchange through REST API or JSON:API, whichever fits your build better
– For large catalogs we use a task queue (Queue API), so syncing doesn’t block the site
– We test on your actual data volume, not a small test sample, which is critical for high-traffic sites
What our approach is built on
Drupal isn't the only platform where we work with non-standard architectures, so "review first, then solve" is our standard approach, not an exception.
The exchange for a Drupal site is designed to hold up under real traffic, not break as the catalog or order volume grows.
REST API, JSON:API, Queue API, this gives the solution a longer life and makes it easier to maintain compared to non-standard workarounds.
FAQ
Let us know your Drupal version, whether Drupal Commerce is in use, and which 1C/BAS configuration the exchange needs to support, we’ll put together a technical approach for your project.
1C/BAS integration with Drupal: exchange architecture for high-traffic projects
Drupal sites are usually chosen for projects with higher requirements: complex content structures, custom material types, significant load. A 1C Drupal data exchange for sites like this can’t be a simple import script, it needs an architecture that holds up under real traffic and doesn’t block the site during sync.
Exchange through Drupal Commerce
If the site runs Drupal Commerce, we export products, variations, and attributes from 1C/BAS accounting for custom fields, and transfer orders back into the accounting system along with their statuses. The Drupal Commerce structure is rarely standard, so reviewing the specific implementation is a mandatory step before building the exchange.
Standard platform mechanisms instead of workarounds
The integration is built on REST API or JSON:API, Drupal’s standard mechanisms, and for large catalogs we use a task queue (Queue API) so syncing doesn’t load the site directly. This gives the solution a longer life and simplifies maintenance going forward.
