One stock figure, shared by the shop and the warehouse.

Selling online from a stock figure maintained separately is a slow-motion problem: overselling, cancellations, apologetic emails and a customer who does not come back. CubeERP holds one stock figure and publishes it to Shopify, receives orders directly into the sales order process, and pushes fulfilment and tracking back when the parcel leaves. Trade and retail can run on different pricing without maintaining two catalogues.
What moves
Exactly what is synced, and which way
Being specific about this up front avoids the single most common integration disappointment - discovering after go-live that one field never travelled.
- Into CubeERP
Orders and customers
Web orders land as sales orders with customer, addresses, payment status and shipping method, ready to pick like any other order.
- Out of CubeERP
Stock levels
Free stock published continuously, by location where you fulfil from more than one, so the shop cannot sell what is already allocated.
- Out of CubeERP
Products and pricing
Product data, images, variants and prices maintained in CubeERP and published, so there is one catalogue rather than two.
- Out of CubeERP
Fulfilment and tracking
Despatch pushes fulfilment status and the carrier tracking number back, triggering Shopify’s own notification to the customer.
How it behaves
The detail that decides whether it is actually useful
Near real-time stock
Levels update as orders are taken and goods are received, rather than on an hourly file that is wrong for fifty-nine minutes.
Retail and trade pricing
Separate price lists for retail and trade customers, including logged-in account pricing, driven from the same CubeERP pricing engine.
Multi-location fulfilment
Publish availability per location and route each order to the site that should fulfil it, including drop shipping where appropriate.
Returns handled once
Web returns arrive as returns against the original order, inspected and credited through the same process as any other channel.
Setting it up
Three steps, done during implementation
- 1
Install the connection from your Shopify admin and authorise it - standard app authorisation, revocable at any time.
- 2
Decide what is mastered where: usually stock and price in CubeERP, content and imagery in Shopify.
- 3
Match existing SKUs before going live. Mismatched product codes are the single most common cause of a painful e-commerce integration.
Questions
What people ask about this one
Within seconds of the movement in normal operation. It is event-driven rather than a scheduled file, which is the difference between overselling occasionally and overselling regularly.
Yes - multiple stores, including different territories or brands, against one CubeERP instance with their own pricing and stock allocation rules.
Codes, stock and price in CubeERP; descriptions, imagery and content in Shopify where the marketing team already works. That split causes the fewest arguments.
POS orders arrive the same way as online orders and deplete the stock location you nominate, so a physical shop and the warehouse share one stock figure.
Supported. Items can be published as available to order with a promise date driven by inbound purchase orders rather than by optimism.
