Connect Shopify and Centric

Connecting Shopify and Centric for a company could allow sales orders, inventory updates, and product data to be exchanged between the e-commerce platform and the product lifecycle management system. This could help reduce manual data entry, improve accuracy, and support more efficient coordination between online sales and product management teams.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between Shopify and Centric around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect Shopify and Centric?

A company operating both Shopify and Centric could benefit from enabling these systems to exchange data, as this could help maintain consistency across business operations. Without such a connection, staff may need to manually enter the same information into both platforms, which can increase the risk of errors and consume valuable time. There is also a risk that records—such as product details, stock levels, or customer information—could drift apart between the two systems, resulting in decisions based on outdated or incomplete data. For businesses managing sales, inventory, and product data, the types of information that could be exchanged between Shopify and Centric include order details, product catalog updates, inventory quantities, and customer records. This exchange could support more accurate reporting, reduce manual workload, and help ensure that both systems reflect the same reality at any given time. The specific data that can be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API and must be determined for each situation individually.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what Shopify and Centric make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
