What we build

Shopify integrations we build for Australian retailers

Shopify’s app store is a great start. As order volumes grow and the back office gets more complex, the gaps between apps become the place where stock goes wrong and invoices get re-keyed. We close those gaps.

Shopify to Xero

Orders, payouts, Shopify Payments fees, refunds and GST posted to Xero automatically, so reconciliation and BAS stop being a monthly scramble. See Xero integration.

Shopify ERP integration

Connect Shopify to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central or another ERP, so products, prices, stock and orders are managed in one place.

Inventory across locations

Keep stock levels accurate across Shopify, your warehouse, retail POS and marketplaces, so you don’t sell what you don’t have.

Freight and fulfilment

Create consignments and labels in freight platforms such as MachShip straight from paid orders, and send tracking back to the customer automatically.

CRM and email marketing

Customers and orders flow into HubSpot or Klaviyo, so segments, flows and sales follow-ups run on accurate data.

B2B and wholesale

Customer-specific pricing, trade accounts and bulk orders kept in step with your ERP and accounts, whether you run one storefront or a separate wholesale store.

Product information

Import and update large catalogues, variants, images and pricing from supplier feeds, spreadsheets or your ERP on a schedule, instead of by hand.

Custom apps and reporting

Private Shopify apps for workflows the app store doesn’t cover, plus dashboards that combine store data with the rest of your business.

How it works

How a Shopify integration project runs

Your store keeps trading while we work. Everything is built and tested away from live orders, then switched on in a quiet window.

01

Map orders, stock and money

We work out which system owns products, prices, stock and customers, and what should happen on refunds, partial fulfilment, cancellations, bundles and pre-orders.

02

Fixed-price scope

You get a plain-English scope and an estimate for the build. Scoping and design is a fixed price from $1,200 ex. GST, and the build is quoted milestone by milestone.

03

Build on a development store

We build against a Shopify development store and your other systems’ test environments, using Shopify’s APIs and webhooks, and replay real order scenarios before anything touches your live store.

04

Launch and monitor

We go live with logging, alerts and a sync history, work within Shopify’s API limits, and keep the integration current as Shopify releases new API versions.

App or custom?

Shopify app or a custom Shopify integration?

There’s an app for almost everything, and for a simple store one of them is often the right answer. Custom integration makes sense when your catalogue, pricing or fulfilment doesn’t fit the template, or when a sync failure costs real money.

Off-the-shelf

Apps from the Shopify App Store

Quick to install when both systems are popular and your process is standard.

  • Fast to set up for common pairings
  • Monthly fees that often rise with order volume
  • Fixed field mappings
  • Limited handling for bundles, refunds and B2B pricing
  • Sync errors can go unnoticed for days

Not sure which you need? We’ll tell you honestly. If an existing app will do the job, we’ll say so and help you configure it. More on our system integration services.

“We engaged with David at Code Squirrel to develop software for our business to help with visibility of call logs connecting to our provider’s web hooks. Code Squirrel were fantastic from the minute we engaged with them until the project was delivered. Code Squirrel scoped out the works, provided an awesome quote and delivered the software setup on our server within a couple of weeks. The whole process was easy and painless. I highly recommend Code Squirrel to anyone looking for software development. Thank you David and the Code Squirrel Team!”

FAQ

Shopify integration questions, answered

What can you integrate Shopify with?

Most things. We connect Shopify with accounting software such as Xero, ERPs such as Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, CRMs such as HubSpot, email platforms such as Klaviyo, freight platforms such as MachShip, warehouses, POS systems and custom software. If a system has an API, an export or a database, we can almost certainly connect it.

Do we need a custom integration, or will a Shopify app do?

If an app fits your process and volume, use it. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. A custom integration is worth it when you need your own business rules, two-way sync, B2B pricing, multiple locations, or error handling you can rely on.

Can you integrate Shopify with Xero?

Yes, it’s one of the most common integrations we build. We post orders, payouts, gateway fees and refunds to the right Xero accounts with the correct GST, so your books reconcile. See Xero integration.

Can you connect Shopify to Nookal or other practice software?

Yes. Clinics that sell products, packages or memberships online can have Shopify orders and customers synced with Nookal. We’re a Nookal N.I.C.E. List Partner. See Nookal integration.

How much does a Shopify integration cost?

The first consultation is free. Scoping and design is a fixed price from $1,200 ex. GST, and you’ll get an estimate for the build before development starts. The build itself is quoted and delivered in milestones you sign off.

Will an integration slow down our store?

No. Integrations run in the background through Shopify’s APIs and webhooks, not in your storefront theme, so customers won’t notice them.

Who owns the integration?

You do. Source code, hosting and credentials sit in your name from day one, and support after launch is month to month, so there’s no lock-in.
