Can Odoo integrate with Shopify?

Yes. Via OCA open-source connector (free), third-party paid connectors ($200-600), or custom integration using Shopify Admin API + Odoo XML-RPC. All sync products, orders, customers, and inventory.

Which direction does data sync?

Products and inventory: Odoo → Shopify. Orders and customers: Shopify → Odoo. Fulfillment/tracking: Odoo → Shopify. Keep Odoo as the single source of truth for inventory and pricing.

Is the Shopify-Odoo integration real-time?

With webhooks: yes for orders (Shopify notifies Odoo instantly). Inventory sync is typically scheduled (every 15-60 minutes). Some connectors support real-time inventory push.

Should I use Odoo eCommerce or Shopify?

Shopify if you need a best-in-class storefront with app ecosystem. Odoo eCommerce if you want everything in one system. Many businesses use Shopify for the store + Odoo for the backend.

Why Integrate Shopify + Odoo?

Shopify handles the storefront. Odoo handles the back office — inventory, accounting, manufacturing, purchasing, and fulfillment. Without integration, you double-enter orders, manually update stock, and reconcile revenue by hand. Integration eliminates all of that.

What Syncs

Data	Direction	Details
Products	Odoo → Shopify	Name, price, images, variants, stock levels
Orders	Shopify → Odoo	Sale orders auto-created in Odoo
Customers	Shopify → Odoo	Customer records synced as res.partner
Inventory	Odoo → Shopify	Stock levels updated after Odoo operations
Fulfillment	Odoo → Shopify	Tracking numbers sent back to Shopify
Refunds	Shopify → Odoo	Credit notes created in Odoo

Integration Options

Option 1: Odoo Shopify Connector (OCA)

The OCA (Odoo Community Association) maintains an open-source Shopify connector:

Free, open source
Syncs products, orders, customers, inventory
Webhook-based real-time sync
Requires technical setup

Option 2: Third-Party Connectors

Several paid connectors available on the Odoo App Store:

SyncBridge, Emipro, Techspawn, VentoCart
$200-600 one-time or subscription
GUI-based setup, less technical
Support included

Option 3: Custom Integration

Build your own using Shopify Admin API + Odoo XML-RPC:

import shopify
import xmlrpc.client

# Shopify connection
shopify.ShopifyResource.set_site('https://your-store.myshopify.com/admin')
shopify.ShopifyResource.set_user('api_key')
shopify.ShopifyResource.set_password('api_secret')

# Odoo connection
odoo = xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy('https://odoo.company.com/xmlrpc/2/object')

# Sync orders
orders = shopify.Order.find(status='any', created_at_min='2026-01-01')
for order in orders:
    # Create sale order in Odoo
    odoo.execute_kw(db, uid, pwd, 'sale.order', 'create', [{
        'partner_id': find_or_create_customer(order.customer),
        'order_line': [(0, 0, {
            'product_id': map_product(item.sku),
            'product_uom_qty': item.quantity,
            'price_unit': float(item.price),
        }) for item in order.line_items],
    }])

Setup Steps (OCA Connector)

Install the Shopify connector module in Odoo
Create a Shopify private app (Settings → Apps → Develop apps)
Grant API permissions: read/write products, orders, customers, inventory
Configure the connector in Odoo with API key, secret, and store URL
Map Odoo products to Shopify products (by SKU or barcode)
Run initial sync (products → Shopify, then orders → Odoo)
Enable webhooks for real-time order sync

Sync Architecture

Shopify Store ←→ Webhooks / API ←→ Odoo Connector Module
                                         ↓
                                    Odoo Sale Orders
                                    Odoo Inventory
                                    Odoo Accounting
                                    Odoo Fulfillment
                                         ↓
                              Tracking # → Shopify

Common Issues

Issue	Cause	Fix
Orders not syncing	Webhook not configured or URL unreachable	Verify webhook URL is HTTPS and publicly accessible
Duplicate customers	No email matching	Match customers by email address
Stock mismatch	Sync delay or manual Shopify edits	Use Odoo as single source of truth for inventory
Product variants missing	Attribute mapping incorrect	Map Odoo product attributes to Shopify options
Price not updating	Pricelist not synced	Configure which Odoo pricelist maps to Shopify price

Best Practices

Single source of truth: Manage inventory in Odoo, push to Shopify (not the reverse)
SKU matching: Use consistent SKUs across both systems
Test with sandbox: Use Shopify development store for testing before production
Monitor sync logs: Check connector logs daily for failed syncs
Webhook reliability: Implement retry logic for failed webhook deliveries
