iUsed Platform Overview¶

Welcome to the iUsed System Overview. This document provides a high-level description of the iUsed ecosystem, its major services, and how they interact.

Platform Purpose¶

The iUsed platform is a modular, service-oriented ecosystem for multi-channel e‑commerce. It connects product data, storefronts, payments, support, and back‑office operations via clear integrations. The architecture focuses on: - Decoupled services maintained independently - Clear, observable data flows between systems - Replaceable components to support future evolution

Notes: - Refurbisher Portal synchronizes enriched product data to both Shopware instances and exchanges operational data with Odoo via Alumio. - Payments are handled by Mollie; webhooks update order states in the storefronts. - Trustpilot invitations originate from storefront events (e.g., order completion). - Zendesk pulls order/customer context from the storefronts; Xelion integrates with Zendesk for telephony workflows.
