Shopify manages your online shopfront, while Sage ERP handles the resource planning behind it.
When these systems operate separately, crucial data like customer records, product info, inventory, sales orders, and invoices may require manual transfer. And as order volume grows, this can lead to data duplication, inventory discrepancies, and delayed order processing.
Shopify ERP integration with Sage ERP synchronizes workflows and keeps key business data updated between the ecommerce store and ERP. Greytrix’s GUMU™ Integrator offers prebuilt Shopify Sage 100 connectors, along with Sage X3 and Sage 300 integrations.
This article explains Sage-Shopify integration, including synchronizing data and GUMU™’s support for Shopify with Sage X3, Sage 100, and Sage 300.
Why integrate Sage with Shopify?
When these systems are not connected, changes made in one system may not immediately reach the other.
For instance, an inventory change in the ERP may not instantly appear on the storefront, and an order in Shopify might need to be re-entered before it can progress through the ERP. In this case, customer info and financial data can fragment between systems.
These gaps become harder to manage as order volume and shared data increase.
ERP integration with Shopify connects these workflows. Orders can flow from Shopify into the respective ERP, while product, inventory, and fulfillment information can move back to the storefront. This reduces manual data entry and helps keep ecommerce and back-office operations aligned.
The value of a Shopify ERP integration largely depends on which business data can move between the two systems and how that data is used. So, selecting the right ERP solution for Shopify is crucial.
Business Benefits
The benefits of Sage X3, Sage 100, 300 integration with Shopify go beyond simply moving data from one system to another. For Shopify merchants, the integration reduces manual ecommerce order management and gives teams consistent store and ERP information.
- Reduce manual data entry: Orders, customer information, and other relevant data can move between Shopify and Sage without repeated manual entry.
- Improve inventory visibility: Inventory levels can be synchronized between the ERP and storefront, helping reduce discrepancies between available stock and what customers see online.
- Speed up order processing: Shopify orders can flow into Sage for further processing without waiting for someone to re-enter the order details.
- Keep customer and product data consistent: Synchronizing records helps avoid maintaining separate versions of customer, product, and category information across systems.
- Improve fulfillment visibility: Relevant fulfillment and shipping updates can flow back to Shopify, giving the storefront more current order information.
How GUMU™ works
GUMU™ (Greytrix Unified Management Utility) is Greytrix’s native cloud-based integration platform designed to connect business applications such as Sage ERP solutions with ecommerce and CRM platforms. For businesses evaluating the Shopify ERP integration solutions, GUMU™ provides prebuilt connectors for Sage X3, Sage 100, and Sage 300, allowing key business data to move between the ERP and Shopify without manual data entry.
GUMU™ supports synchronization of key entities on a schedule or on demand, depending on the Sage ERP and configuration. The integration also includes features like preview-before-import, role-based access as per pre-defined settings, and audi trails to support data integrity and controlled data movement.
The specific data flows can be configured around the connected Sage environment and business requirements.
Sage X3 vs. Sage 100 vs. Sage 300: What Does the Integration Look Like?
GUMU™ follows the same basic integration approach across Sage X3, Sage 100, and Sage 300, but the data touchpoints and business requirements can differ between the three ERP systems.
Here’s a quick comparison of Shopify Sage 100 integration, Shopify Sage X3 integration, and Shopify Sage 300 integration:
| Sage X3 | Sage 100 | Sage 300 | |
| Key data | Customers, products, categories, inventory, orders, invoices, fulfillment | Customers, orders, invoices, inventory | Customers, products, categories, inventory, orders, invoices |
| Sync | Bi-directional; scheduled/on-demand | Bi-directional; scheduled/batch processing | Bi-directional; scheduled/on-demand |
| Shopify → Sage | Orders + customer data | Orders + customer data | Orders + customer data + financial data |
| Sage → Shopify | Products, inventory + fulfillment | Items, inventory + order status | Products, inventory + shipping updates |
| Integration focus | Complex operations and multi-site commerce | Ecommerce order and inventory workflows | Commerce, finance and multi-location operations |
The integration scope therefore depends on the Sage ERP you use and the workflows you need to connect with Shopify.
But data synchronization becomes easier to understand when we look at what happens to an actual Shopify order.
How Does a Shopify Order Flow Through Sage ERP?
Instead of manually moving information between the storefront and ERP, GUMU™ can connect the different stages of the order process:
- Order placement: A customer places an order on a Shopify store, along with the relevant customer and order information.
- Order transfer: GUMU™ transfers the order information to the connected Sage ERP, where the sales order can be created for processing.
- Order processing: The order moves through the relevant Sage workflow, including fulfillment and invoicing where applicable.
- Status update: Fulfillment or shipping information can then flow back to Shopify, keeping the storefront updated with the latest order status.
- Payments: For supported configurations, payment information can also be synchronized between Shopify and Sage. For example, GUMU™ supports Shopify payment receipt synchronization with Sage X3.
Shopify → GUMU™ → Sage → GUMU™ → Shopify
Note: The exact data exchanged depends on the Sage ERP and the integration configuration.
Connecting Sage with Shopify: What to Consider
Integrating Shopify with Sage X3, Sage 100, or Sage 300 involves more than transferring orders between two systems. The integration needs to account for data mapping, synchronization direction, scheduling, and the specific workflows supported by each Sage environment. GUMU™ provides prebuilt connectors for these three Sage ERP systems, with predefined mappings and support for scheduled or on-demand, bi-directional synchronization.
