Order management is the heartbeat of e-commerce success. From capturing orders on Shopify to processing and fulfilling them through NetSuite, speed and accuracy are non-negotiable. Manual updates lead to delays, errors, and dissatisfied customers.
This is where Celigo comes in — a powerful integration platform (iPaaS) that simplifies and automates the flow of data between systems like Shopify and NetSuite, helping businesses streamline operations and deliver better customer experiences.
In this blog, we’ll break down how to automate order management between Shopify and NetSuite using Celigo, and why it’s a game-changer for growing e-commerce brands.
Why Integrate Shopify with NetSuite?
Shopify is great at handling your online storefront, while NetSuite powers your back-end operations like inventory, accounting, fulfillment, and CRM. But without integration, your teams are stuck with:
-
Manual data entry between systems
-
Inventory mismatches
-
Delayed order fulfillment
-
Poor customer service due to outdated information
Automating this process bridges the gap and keeps both platforms in sync in near real-time.
What Celigo Offers
Celigo’s Shopify-NetSuite Integration App is a prebuilt, fully managed solution that handles core automation needs out-of-the-box, such as:
-
Order Sync: Shopify orders automatically create sales orders in NetSuite.
-
Inventory Updates: Inventory changes in NetSuite reflect in Shopify instantly.
-
Customer Sync: New or updated customer records sync between platforms.
-
Fulfillment & Tracking: Shipment data flows back from NetSuite to Shopify, updating customers with tracking info.
You can also customize flows or create your own using Celigo’s intuitive UI.
Setting Up the Integration: Key Flows
Here’s how a typical order management flow looks when automated using Celigo:
-
Order Creation (Shopify → NetSuite)
A customer places an order → Shopify triggers Celigo → Sales order is created in NetSuite with all relevant details like items, shipping, customer data, and payment. -
Inventory Sync (NetSuite → Shopify)
As stock is updated in NetSuite (via purchases, returns, etc.), Celigo updates inventory levels in Shopify to prevent overselling. -
Fulfillment Sync (NetSuite → Shopify)
Once the order is fulfilled in NetSuite, Celigo syncs the shipping status and tracking number back to Shopify, updating the customer automatically. -
Refunds and Returns (Optional Custom Flow)
Refunds initiated in Shopify can be mirrored in NetSuite, helping your finance team stay aligned.
