ERP integration
Shopify and Odoo, without a second stock figure.
Inventory, sales orders and customers moving between Shopify and Odoo on a rhythm the operations team can trust.
Odoo often already runs inventory and invoicing. Shopify is added as the shop, and the two systems start to drift on the first busy week.
A Shopify Odoo integration is the job of deciding which system owns each field, then making the sync boring.
Why this link gets built
Teams look for this when warehouse staff trust Odoo and the website shows a different number. Or when orders are exported to a spreadsheet because the connector was never finished.
Odoo versions and installed modules change the map. A connector built for one edition fails on the next. We read your modules before we promise a flow.
What usually breaks
Products and variants
Odoo variants and Shopify variants are named differently. Attributes that are internal in Odoo should not become customer-facing options by accident.
Taxes
Tax configuration rarely matches on the first try, especially selling from the UK into the EU. The order total has to match what finance expects.
Stock moves
Reservations, incoming purchase orders and available quantity are different numbers. Shopify should sell the one you choose.
Timeline and cost
Week 1
Odoo version, modules and a field map. Sample products pulled from the live database.
Weeks 2 to 5
Products, stock and orders in a staging flow. Errors visible to the team.
Go live
A short window with warehouse and finance watching the first orders.
An ERP integration is usually part of a build or migration in the £20,000 to £35,000 range, plus a monthly retainer so the sync is watched after go live. A single, well documented connector sits lower. Several price lists, warehouses and a custom order flow sit higher.
Checklist
- Confirm the Odoo version and the modules that hold stock and sales.
- Map variants before import.
- Agree tax behaviour for each market you sell into.
- Choose the stock figure Shopify may sell.
- Rehearse an order through to an Odoo invoice.
Odoo questions
Which Odoo versions do you connect?
The version you are actually running. We map that database, not a generic Odoo diagram.
Can Odoo remain the stock system?
Yes. Shopify should display the quantity Odoo says is safe to sell.
