How to connect an e-shop with an ERP system

When the e-shop and ERP don't communicate, someone retypes orders manually — and makes mistakes. Connecting them via API removes this intermediate step and data starts flowing on its own.

The problem: two systems, one human between them

A typical scenario: an order arrives in the e-shop, someone retypes it into the ERP, checks the stock, issues an invoice and adjusts availability. Every step is time and a possible error. With dozens of orders a day it's a full-time job — and one typo is enough.

The solution: integration via API

Integration via API means the systems exchange data automatically. An order from the e-shop writes itself into the ERP, the stock updates, the invoice is issued and availability is reflected back in the e-shop. The human no longer retypes anything.

What is typically synchronized

What to watch out for

Reliability stands or falls precisely on these details. That's why integration is designed, not built blindly.

Related to warehouse and automation

Connecting an e-shop with an ERP is part of the broader process automation and goes hand in hand with warehouse digitalization. Together they form a chain where an order travels from the customer to accounting without a single manual retype.

We'll connect your systems

We have integrations of e-shops, ERPs, payment gateways and couriers behind us. Tell us what you use and we'll propose a connection — get in touch.

Frequently asked questions

Can any e-shop be connected with any ERP?

In most cases yes — either via the official API or via an intermediary if the system has no API. We'll determine the scope after mapping both systems.

What happens if one system goes down?

A good integration accounts for outages — data is queued and synchronized once the system is available again, so nothing is lost.

How long does the integration take?

Simple order synchronization is a matter of days to weeks; a complex bidirectional connection of stock, prices and accounting takes longer. We'll give an estimate after the analysis.
