Start with an order
A customer buys something in Shopify. An integration can send the order and customer details to Odoo so your team can process fulfilment without retyping everything. What moves across depends on how the connection is set up.
Decide where stock is managed
Some businesses manage stock in Shopify, while others keep warehouse stock in Odoo. Pick one system to be the main source of stock figures and decide when updates should be sent to the other.
Think about more than new orders
Returns, refunds, discounts, shipping charges, tax, bundles, partial deliveries and cancelled orders all need decisions. A connection that only handles simple orders may cause problems when an exception occurs.
Keep payments and accounting clear
Confirm how paid and unpaid orders are represented in Odoo. Your accountant may also need a say in how fees, refunds, GST and payment reconciliation are handled.
Test with real examples
Before going live, test normal orders and difficult cases. Try an order with a discount, an item that goes out of stock, a refund and a split shipment. Check both systems to make sure the records match.
Monitor after launch
A connection can fail because of an API change, a missing product code or a temporary service problem. Decide who checks the integration, how failures are reported and how they are fixed.
