The Microsoft Dynamics GP-Shopify integration creates a powerful bridge between your reliable Dynamics GP accounting and ERP system and your Shopify storefront, enabling automated data synchronization that eliminates manual entry and provides a unified view of your business operations. This comprehensive integration automatically transfers inventory, orders, customer data, and financial information between both platforms, creating a streamlined workflow that improves efficiency, enhances accuracy, and provides real-time visibility into business performance. For established businesses leveraging Dynamics GP, this integration forms the foundation of a scalable, reliable e-commerce operation.
In today's competitive digital marketplace, disconnected systems create inefficiencies that drain resources and introduce costly errors. The Dynamics GP-Shopify integration solves these challenges by establishing a reliable data pipeline between your trusted ERP system and customer-facing storefront, delivering significant operational advantages:
Eliminate tedious manual data entry with seamless order transfer from Shopify to Dynamics GP. When customers place orders on your Shopify store, they're automatically created in Dynamics GP with all relevant details including line items, taxes, shipping charges, and payment information. This automated workflow reduces order processing time by up to 85% while eliminating the errors associated with manual entry. Orders flow directly into your established Dynamics GP sales order processing system, leveraging your existing business rules, pricing structures, and approval workflows.
Maintain accurate inventory levels across all sales channels with bidirectional inventory synchronization between Dynamics GP and Shopify. The integration automatically updates stock levels in real-time as sales occur or inventory is received, preventing overselling and providing customers with accurate availability information. Multi-location businesses benefit from site-specific inventory tracking that optimizes fulfillment and reduces shipping costs. Inventory adjustments, transfers, and receipts processed in Dynamics GP automatically reflect in your Shopify store, ensuring consistent stock visibility across all channels.
Create a comprehensive view of your customers by synchronizing profiles between Dynamics GP and Shopify. This integrated approach includes purchase history, contact information, shipping preferences, payment terms, and account details from both systems. For businesses managing both B2B and B2C relationships, the integration maintains appropriate distinctions in pricing, credit limits, and payment terms based on customer type. Customer information updated in either system can be configured to automatically update in the other, ensuring your customer data remains consistent across platforms.
Maintain impeccable financial records with automated synchronization of order data, tax calculations, and payment information between Shopify and Dynamics GP. This seamless connection ensures your accounting is always up-to-date, simplifies month-end closing processes, and provides real-time visibility into financial performance. Sales data flows directly into your Dynamics GP general ledger using your established account structure and posting rules, maintaining the financial controls and reporting capabilities that your business relies on. Comprehensive financial reporting combines e-commerce performance with overall business metrics for complete visibility.
Ensure consistent product information and pricing across all channels with centralized management in Dynamics GP. The integration synchronizes product details, images, pricing, and availability to your Shopify storefront, eliminating discrepancies between systems. Multiple price levels in Dynamics GP can be mapped to different customer groups in Shopify, ensuring that each customer sees the appropriate pricing based on their relationship with your business. Price changes, promotions, and new product additions in Dynamics GP automatically reflect in your online store, streamlining catalog management.
Our integration leverages the Dynamics GP eConnect API and Shopify's REST API to establish a secure, reliable data pipeline between systems. The architecture is designed for reliability, accuracy, and performance:
For businesses expanding from traditional distribution to direct online sales, the Dynamics GP-Shopify integration provides a seamless extension of existing business processes. The system maintains appropriate distinctions between wholesale and retail customers, including pricing, payment terms, credit limits, and fulfillment methods, while providing unified inventory and financial management across all channels.
Companies that manufacture their own products benefit from the integration's ability to connect production planning, materials management, and inventory control directly to e-commerce operations. Work orders in Dynamics GP can be triggered based on online sales trends, while customers receive accurate lead times based on current production schedules and capacity.
Businesses selling through multiple channels beyond Shopify can use Dynamics GP as their central operational hub. The integration ensures that your Shopify sales are seamlessly incorporated alongside other channels, providing a consolidated view of inventory, customers, and finances across your entire business. This unified approach simplifies management and provides accurate performance metrics across all sales channels.
