Shopify Integration Development that keeps your data in sync
For Australian merchants running Shopify alongside an ERP, PIM, WMS or accounting platform. We build monitored, resilient data sync so orders, inventory and customers stay accurate across every system.
When your systems don't talk, your team pays for it
Shopify is one system among several. The gaps between them are where time and accuracy leak away.
Manual re-keying
Staff copy orders and stock between Shopify and your ERP by hand. It is slow, and it is where errors creep in.
Overselling and stockouts
Inventory drifts out of sync across channels, so you oversell lines you cannot fulfil and hide stock you could sell.
Silent sync failures
A brittle connector fails overnight and nobody knows until orders go missing or the accounts will not reconcile.
Fragile app-store connectors
Generic connectors cannot map your fields, handle your edge cases, or scale past a certain order volume.
Slow financial close
Orders, refunds and payouts do not flow cleanly into your accounting platform, so month-end drags on for days.
No single source of truth
Customer and product data lives differently in each system, and nobody trusts which record is correct.
Where the work sits
A clear split so there are no surprises at go-live.
| Nexly handles | Your side | Out of scope | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data mapping | Field mapping and transformation logic | Sign-off on the business rules | Re-modelling your ERP schema |
| Connectivity | API, webhook and auth setup | Credentials and sandbox access | Licensing for third-party systems |
| Reliability | Retries, alerting and monitoring | Who receives the alerts | A round-the-clock manned helpdesk |
| Go-live | Staging tests and a cutover plan | UAT and final approval | Staff process training beyond handover |
Is this the right fit?
This is for you if
- You run Shopify alongside an ERP, PIM, WMS or accounting platform
- You have outgrown a generic app-store connector or manual CSV exports
- You need inventory and orders accurate across every channel
- You are on Shopify Plus with custom field mapping or high order volume
Probably not a fit if
- A single supported app already does the job well out of the box
- You want to replatform rather than integrate what you have
- The target system has no API or reliable export we can read
- You are not on Shopify, we specialise in Shopify only
What integration development covers
Scoped to your systems and data, built to be operated by your team.
What's included
- Discovery and data mapping across Shopify and each system
- Bi-directional sync for orders, inventory, products and customers
- Error handling with retries, dead-letter queues and alerting
- A monitoring dashboard and audit logs for every sync
- Documentation and handover so your team can operate it
Systems we connect
- ERP: NetSuite, MYOB Advanced, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP
- Accounting: Xero, QuickBooks, MYOB
- WMS and 3PL: warehouse, fulfilment and freight systems
- PIM and CRM: product data and customer platforms
- Marketplaces and POS where a clean data bridge is needed
Technical deliverables
- A middleware or serverless sync service, hosted and monitored
- Shopify Admin API and webhook integration, GraphQL-first
- Idempotent, rate-limit-aware jobs that replay safely
- Field mapping and transformation rules, version-controlled
- A staging environment and test suite before go-live
How an integration comes together
A staged path from audit to a monitored, live sync.
Discovery & mapping
We audit both systems, agree the data model, and document every field, rule and edge case. Week 1.
Architecture
We choose the sync patterns, real-time or scheduled, and design for rate limits and failure. Week 1–2.
Build
We develop the sync service, transformations and webhooks against a staging store. Week 2–6.
Test & reconcile
We run real data through, reconcile counts and totals, and prove the edge cases behave. Week 6–8.
Cutover
We migrate, switch traffic, and monitor closely through the first live cycles. Week 8–9.
Monitor & handover
We hand over dashboards, docs and alerting, then support the settling-in period. Week 9–10.
How we keep sync trustworthy
Controls that stop small failures becoming big ones.
- Idempotent jobs so a retry never duplicates an order
- Rate-limit handling and back-off against Shopify and target APIs
- A dead-letter queue for failed records, with replay
- Reconciliation checks on counts and totals after each run
- Alerting to email or Slack the moment a sync fails
- Audit logs for every record written, for full traceability
Integration investment
Typical bands, scoped after discovery. Priced on systems, data volume and sync complexity.
Single system sync
One platform, e.g. Xero or a WMS, with defined mappings
Multi-system integration
ERP plus fulfilment, bi-directional and monitored
Complex / high volume
Multiple systems, custom middleware, high throughput
