Connect Shopify and SAP SCM

Connecting Shopify and SAP SCM for a company could enable the transfer of order, inventory, and fulfillment data between the e-commerce platform and the supply chain management system. This connection could support more accurate stock levels, faster order processing, and improved coordination between online sales and supply chain operations.

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

Why connect Shopify and SAP SCM?

A company operating both Shopify and SAP SCM could benefit from enabling data exchange between these systems, as this could support more efficient business processes and decision-making. Without such a connection, staff may need to enter the same information in both systems, which increases the risk of errors and consumes additional time. Inconsistent records could develop if updates in one system are not reflected in the other, leading to situations where inventory levels, order statuses, or customer data drift apart. This misalignment could result in decisions being made based on outdated or incomplete information, affecting customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. If a data connection were established, it could support the transfer of key business data. For example, order details created in Shopify could be sent to SAP SCM for fulfillment and inventory management. Inventory updates processed in SAP SCM could be reflected in Shopify, helping to prevent overselling and improve customer experience. Customer records, shipping information, and product data could also be candidates for exchange, depending on the company’s operational requirements. The specific data that can be exchanged between Shopify and SAP SCM depends on what each system makes available through its API and must be determined for each implementation.

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 SAP SCM 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.
