Shopify SAP integration
Connect Shopify to SAP S/4HANA or Business One through resilient middleware, so products, customer-specific pricing, stock and orders stay in sync without manual re-keying.
SAP holds the truth. Shopify needs it in real time.
SAP is your system of record for materials, pricing, stock and financials. Without a clean integration, that data reaches the storefront by hand, and the gaps show.
Re-keyed orders
Staff retype Shopify orders into SAP, adding errors and hours of lag before fulfilment even starts.
Stale stock and pricing
With no live feed, on-site stock and customer-specific B2B pricing drift from what SAP actually holds.
Large catalogues stall
Thousands of materials, variants and price conditions are impossible to maintain manually across two systems.
No clear system of record
When both platforms edit the same customer or price, nobody trusts either, and reconciliation eats the week.
What syncs which way
A typical mapping. We confirm direction, system of record and trigger for each object during discovery.
| Data object | Direction | System of record | Trigger |
|---|---|---|---|
| Products and materials | SAP → Shopify | SAP | Batch + on change |
| B2B pricing and price lists | SAP → Shopify | SAP | Scheduled + on change |
| Stock and inventory | SAP → Shopify | SAP | Near real-time |
| Sales orders | Shopify → SAP | Shopify | On checkout |
| Invoices and credit status | SAP → Shopify | SAP | On post |
| Fulfilment and dispatch | SAP → Shopify | SAP | On dispatch |
| Customers / business partners | Two-way | SAP | On create or update |
What a Shopify + SAP integration actually does
We map the exact data objects, decide direction and system of record for each, then build it on middleware that logs, retries and monitors every message.
What syncs
- Products and materials, SKUs, variants, attributes, media references
- Customer-specific B2B pricing, contract rates and price lists
- Stock levels across plants and warehouses
- Sales orders, invoices and credit status
- Business partners and customer accounts
- Fulfilment, delivery and dispatch status
How it works
- SAP stays system of record for products, pricing and stock
- Shopify pushes orders; SAP confirms, invoices and dispatches
- Real-time webhooks for orders, scheduled batch for bulk catalogue
- OData, BAPI or IDoc via SAP Integration Suite, Boomi or custom middleware
- Idempotent writes so a retry never duplicates an order or price
Reliability
- Every message logged with payload, timestamp and status
- Automatic retries with backoff and a dead-letter queue
- Alerting when a sync fails or the SAP API is unavailable
- Reconciliation reports that surface drift before customers do
- A monitoring dashboard across the whole data flow
How we build it
A staged path from data-flow design to a monitored, supported integration.
Discovery
Audit your SAP landscape, existing middleware, catalogue size and B2B rules. Agree scope and system of record per object.
Data-flow design
Map every object, direction, trigger and frequency. Define error handling, idempotency and reconciliation upfront.
Build
Develop the middleware flows and Shopify side against OData, BAPI or IDoc endpoints, with logging baked in.
UAT
Test with real materials, pricing and orders in a sandbox. Validate edge cases, retries and failure behaviour.
Deploy
Cut over in a controlled window with rollback ready. Reconcile catalogue, pricing and stock on day one.
Monitor and support
Dashboards, alerting and an SLA-backed retainer so failed syncs and API changes are caught and handled.
Investment
Realistic AUD bands, typical and scoped after discovery. SAP integrations vary widely with the number of objects, sync directions and B2B complexity.
Standard integration
Catalogue, stock and one-way orders via existing middleware.
B2B / custom
Customer pricing, credit, two-way sync and bespoke middleware flows.
Monitoring and support
Alerting, reconciliation, change requests and SLA-backed cover.
