Orders out, stock and purchase orders back, ledger entries your finance team recognises. We integrate Dynamics, SAP Business One, Acumatica, Brightpearl, DEAR, Cin7 and ERPs nobody else has heard of.
140 stores built, 8 years on the platform, senior engineers only
Codioo connects Shopify to ERPs of every shape: Microsoft Dynamics, SAP Business One, Acumatica, Brightpearl, DEAR, Cin7 and in house systems. Orders flow out with payment and tax detail, inventory flows back per location, and financial postings map to your chart of accounts. Integrations start at $4,000 for two systems and ship in three to eight weeks with queues, retries and daily reconciliation.
The four domains every ERP integration needs, plus the postings finance asks for.
Paid orders become ERP sales orders with payment, tax, shipping and discount detail attached, in minutes.
Stock per warehouse flows back as levels change, mapped to Shopify locations including the buffer rules you set.
Accounts sync with de duplication, respecting which system leads for which fields.
Incoming stock becomes visible to your storefront planning, so launch and restock dates stop being guesses.
Settlements, refunds, fees and payouts post as journal entries mapped to your accounts.
SKUs, barcodes, cost prices and dimensions stay aligned, optionally mastered in the ERP.
Integration options
The ERP's age and API surface usually decide the route before budget does.
Option 1
Where your ERP vendor or Shopify's ecosystem ships one: cheapest, fastest, fixed mappings. Works for standard flows at moderate volume, and cannot express custom rules.
Option 2
Middleware with prebuilt connectors and visual flows. Fast to stand up across several systems, monitored for you, with subscriptions that scale and logic limits you will meet eventually.
Option 3
A service that speaks Shopify webhooks and your ERP's API, or its database or file drops for legacy systems, with your rules, retries and reconciliation. Yours outright, cheapest at volume.
| Factor | Native connector | iPaaS | Custom API build |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Lowest | Medium | Highest |
| Ongoing cost | Low | Scaling subscription | Hosting only |
| Legacy ERP support | Rare | Some adapters | Any surface: API, DB, SFTP |
| Custom logic | None | Limited | Unlimited |
| Error visibility | Minimal | Vendor dashboards | Your alerts and runbook |
| Ownership | Vendor | Vendor | You |
| Best for | Standard, modern ERP | Multi system speed | Control and volume |
The mapping decisions that take the longest are never technical. Which field wins when the ERP cost price and the PIM cost price disagree. Whether a bundle is one item or five in the ledger. Which warehouse feeds which Shopify location. The flow audit turns each of these into a written rule with an owner, because the code is easy once the business has decided, and endless when it has not.
Change discipline is what separates integrations that last five years from integrations that get rewritten in two. Every mapping change is versioned, every ERP upgrade is rehearsed in a test window, and the reconciliation report doubles as a regression check after each change. None of this is glamorous, and all of it is why the operations team stops thinking about the integration at all, which is the goal.
On ownership and exit: the adapter, the queue and the reconciliation logic live in your repository and your infrastructure from day one. If you change agencies or bring the work in house, the next team inherits documentation, tests and a runbook instead of folklore. We consider that a feature of the engagement, not a risk to it.
Modern ERPs expose REST or GraphQL and the integration is plumbing. Legacy ERPs expose a database, a folder of CSV drops, or a proprietary socket, and the integration is plumbing plus diplomacy. We have built against all three surfaces. The pattern stays the same: an adapter that speaks the legacy surface, the same queue, the same retries, the same reconciliation, so the ugly part is contained in one well tested module instead of smeared across the build.
The discipline that decides whether an ERP integration survives its second year is not the happy path, it is the treatment of boundaries: warehouse counts that pause stock sync, flash sales that throttle order bursts, ERP upgrades that version endpoints, and the reconciliation window that catches a record dropped by any of them. Every integration we ship has these designed in and rehearsed, because finding them in production is how the spreadsheet ritual comes back.
The same spine every time, sized to your ERP. Each step ends with something you can read, click or sign.
Step 1
Week 1
We map what actually happens today: data owners, volumes, timing, failure rituals. Ends with the fixed quote and the migration matrix.
Step 2
Week 1
Native, iPaaS or custom, costed over three years at your volumes, written down and signed before anything is bought or built.
Step 3
Weeks 2 to 4
Flows implemented with idempotency, retries and reconciliation from the first commit, rehearsed on shaped copies of your records.
Step 4
Week 4 or 5
We pull the plug deliberately: the target system slow, the network gone, a record malformed. The queue catches it, the alert names it, the runbook answers it.
Step 5
1 to 2 weeks
New sync and old process run together while daily reconciliation compares them. Switch off the old way only when the report is boring.
Step 6
Ongoing
Monitoring, reconciliation reviews and API release tracking for both ends, so upgrades land as maintenance instead of incidents.
Legacy integrations age quietly. Any one of these is worth an audit; two or more together usually justify a rebuild.
SFTP CSV exchanges were fine a decade ago. They batch, they break silently on schema drift, and they hide today's errors until tomorrow's run.
The person who wrote the field mapping left, the documentation did not survive, and every new field becomes a research project.
When support learns about sync failures before ops does, monitoring has failed. Alerts should name the record and the reason before customers notice.
A morning stock adjustment here, a manual order rekey there. Each workaround is the integration telling you it no longer fits the business.
One broken upgrade is bad luck. Two is an integration welded to internals it should never have touched, and it will keep breaking.
Every integration we ship carries the same three safety nets, regardless of route. First, alerting: when a record fails, the alert names the record and the reason, so your ops team fixes data, not code. Second, retries with a dead letter list: transient failures resolve themselves, and stubborn ones queue for a person instead of disappearing.
Third, daily reconciliation: a one page report comparing both systems on the trailing window, listing every mismatch. It is the difference between trusting a sync and hoping about it, and it is why finance teams become the integration's biggest fans after month end stops being a data entry project.
What your ops team sees
Timeline and cost
Range reflects the ERP's API surface more than the number of flows.
| Project type | Price from | Timeline | What is included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Modern API ERP | $4,000 | 3 to 5 weeks | Orders, inventory, customers, reconciliation |
| Legacy ERP (DB or SFTP) | $6,000 | 5 to 8 weeks | Adapter layer, same flows, extra failure drills |
| ERP care plan | $500/mo | Ongoing | Monitoring, reconciliation reviews, upgrades |
