Connecting your management system to Shopify

Connecting your management system to Shopify

One of the main challenges is connecting your business management software (ERP) to Shopify. Shopify does not handle electronic invoicing or tax accounting.

Three possible methods

  1. Use an existing app
  2. Exchange data via files
  3. Build a custom integration

Method 1: Existing app

The connection is made through an official application on the Shopify App Store, or through a built-in feature in the ERP system.

Method 2: File-based data exchange

Set up the ERP system to save an export file on a network location (FTP or Google Drive), and a Shopify app will download the file. This does not happen in real time but at periodic intervals.

Useful apps: Matrixify, EZ CSV Import + CSV Export, Stock Sync, Zapier.

Method 3: Custom integration

The most complex method, used in Enterprise environments. Costs up to EUR 10,000 but you get an effective and fully customizable system.
