The problem it solves

Every Shopify order has to end up in NetSuite too, but manually re-entering order details is slow and invites mistakes, especially when you're juggling both web orders and point-of-sale sales. Any delay means your accounting and fulfillment data fall out of sync.

Who it fits

A retail or ecommerce business that runs Shopify for sales and NetSuite for accounting and fulfillment.

How it works

  1. On a regular schedule, the system checks Shopify for new orders
  2. Point-of-sale orders are created in NetSuite as cash sales, since nothing needs fulfilling
  3. Web orders are created in NetSuite as sales orders instead
  4. The matching customer record is looked up or matched in NetSuite
  5. Your books show the new order without anyone re-typing it
What you get

Orders reflected in your books instantly

Every new Shopify order, in store or online, shows up in NetSuite as the right kind of sales record without anyone retyping it.

What you get

A matching sales order or cash sale in NetSuite for every new Shopify order.

What you need

A Shopify store and a NetSuite account with REST web services and OAuth2 enabled.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
