Why Integrate NetSuite and Shopify?

Video Transcript

Your ecommerce business is growing fast and you are now juggling tons of orders across multiple channels. Yes, it’s a good problem to have. But what happens when your sales double again?

Hi my name is Martin McNicoll, CEO of GURUS, and today, I am your cloud GURU!

You’re seeing the orders come in, and for now, you’re fulfilling them quickly and with enough inventory to spare. But for this pace to continue you’ll need to stay on top of your game.

If your inventory software like NetSuite aren’t up to date, your storefront simply can’t get your orders out. Going back and forth between applications to manually enter orders is slow, it leads to errors, unfilled sales orders and customer dissatisfaction.

It is time to connect both systems. This is where a Shopify to NetSuite ERP integration platform comes in.

But how to connect NetSuite to Shopify? We use what you might call a connector - in our case we recommend Boomi. If you work in a cloud environment and use different applications, Boomi has a library of hundreds of connectors to other cloud software like Salesforce, Hubspot, NetSuite and many more.

A connector between your NetSuite ERP and Shopify will let you synchronize data real time - no manual data entry needed! As an example, a connector will synchronize your customer details and your Inventory level so you can ensure you have items in stock and orders are fulfilled on time. To top it off, If you use the NetSuite Customer center, your customer will have access to their order status as it happens.

Key Benefits of a NetSuite Shopify Integration

A properly designed NetSuite and Shopify integration eliminates operational friction between your storefront and back-office systems. Key benefits include:

• Real-time synchronization of orders, customers, inventory, and fulfillment data
• Elimination of manual data entry and spreadsheet-based processes
• Improved order accuracy and faster fulfillment cycles
• Better inventory visibility across multiple sales channels
• Scalable infrastructure that supports ecommerce growth without added headcount

How NetSuite and Shopify Work Together

Shopify serves as the customer-facing ecommerce platform, while NetSuite operates as the system of record for financials, inventory, fulfillment, and operations. When integrated, orders placed in Shopify automatically flow into NetSuite, where they can be picked, packed, shipped, invoiced, and reported on, without manual intervention.

This end-to-end visibility ensures that your storefront always reflects accurate inventory levels, pricing, and order status.

Avoid Manual Processes as Order Volume Grows

Manually entering Shopify orders into NetSuite creates delays, errors, and fulfillment risks, especially during peak sales periods. A NetSuite Shopify integration removes these risks by automating data flow between systems, allowing your teams to focus on fulfillment, customer experience, and growth rather than administrative work.

Using Boomi as the Integration Platform

To connect NetSuite and Shopify, GURUS Solutions recommends using Boomi middleware. Boomi provides a scalable, cloud-based integration platform with pre-built connectors that simplify synchronization between ecommerce, ERP, CRM, and other cloud applications.

With Boomi, businesses can ensure reliable, real-time data exchange while maintaining flexibility as systems and processes evolve.
