In8Sync vs FarApp for NetSuite
Both integrate NetSuite with your sales channels. The difference is native SuiteApp architecture plus a hands-on build-and-support team, versus a self-service connector product.
In8Sync DirectConnect runs natively inside NetSuite as a SuiteApp and is built and supported for you by an SDN-certified team, covering eCommerce, marketplaces, 3PL, CRM, payments, and POS. FarApp is a self-service NetSuite connector (owned by Oracle) focused on eCommerce, marketplace, and POS channels. In8Sync fits teams wanting native sync plus full-service delivery and custom development.

Native by design, managed by specialists
The advantages of keeping your NetSuite integration inside NetSuite.
Truly native to NetSuite
DirectConnect runs as a SuiteApp inside NetSuite rather than as a connector service alongside it — fewer moving parts and no external bridge to depend on.
Built and supported for you
An SDN-certified team scopes, configures, and maintains your integration end to end. You are not left mapping fields and troubleshooting a connector on your own.
Goes beyond standard connectors
When a channel needs logic a packaged connector cannot express, our developers extend the bundle with SuiteScript inside your account — no external runtime.
One partner across every channel
eCommerce, marketplaces, 3PL, CRM, payments, and POS come from the same team on the same native platform — not a patchwork of separate connectors.
Real-time, event-driven sync
Syncs fire the moment a record changes in NetSuite — no polling windows or batch jobs adding lag between your storefront and your ERP.
Predictable per-integration cost
Pricing is per integration, not per connection or per order, so adding volume does not inflate your bill.
When FarApp may be the better fit
We would rather you pick the right tool than the wrong one. FarApp can be a stronger choice when:
- You want a low-touch, self-service connector for a standard storefront and are comfortable configuring and maintaining it yourself.
- You prefer to stay entirely within Oracle NetSuite’s own product lineup and roadmap for every add-on.
- Your integration needs are limited to common eCommerce or marketplace channels with no custom workflow requirements.
