Integrations with other systems

Shopify Plus is typically only one component of your business. It’s crucial to integrate it properly with the rest of the business tools you rely on. Whether your tech stack involves an ERP, 3PL, CRM, or email marketing tool, there are different ways to approach each integration.

Public apps and existing integrations

Certain solutions have already built a public app to connect their software to Shopify and made it available on the App Store. Some solutions are part of the Shopify Plus Certified App Program, which includes Shopify’s top recommendations for enterprise solutions. 

Sometimes, an integration with a certain solution is available, but it isn’t published on the App Store. Your third-party solution provider’s documentation or customer support can give you instructions on how to access these integrations if they exist.

If you’re thinking of using apps from the App Store, we recommend that you review their functionalities carefully before installing them, and that you uninstall them before the end of their trial period (if you’re not planning to use them on your store) to avoid unnecessary charges. Also be aware that apps which add front-end functionalities typically add code to your theme. So document the changes an app makes to the code, and remove any unwanted code when you uninstall an app.

Integration Partners

Shopify’s Global ERP Program includes a suite of certified ERP apps that directly integrate with your Shopify store. If your ERP is currently not integrated with Shopify, you can consider using an Integration Partner that provides a hosted, easy to configure, turn-key connector between your ERP and Shopify. The following companies offer connectors and custom integrations for a variety of ERPs:

• Celigo 
• VL Omni 
• Codeless Platforms 
• Fisher Technology 
• Patchworks 
• nChannel 

Custom integrations

Finally, you always have the option to build a custom integration using the Shopify API. Here are some resources to get you started on building your own app:

• Custom apps 
• Developing on Shopify 
• API documentation 

Please note that Shopify uses API versioning to continuously evolve the platform while offering developers a predictable path for feature upgrades and deprecations. To ensure you always know about upcoming API changes, follow the Developer Changelog.
