Odoo ↔ Shopify Integration — Orders + Inventory + Payments
The Odoo ↔ Shopify connector by ERPPlugs syncs Shopify orders, customers, and payments into Odoo (Community or Enterprise) as Sales Orders + Customer records + Invoices, keeps inventory bidirectional across multi-warehouse Odoo setups, handles refunds + returns as Odoo Credit Notes, and supports multi-currency + region-appropriate tax (GST for India Odoo, VAT for EU, sales tax for US). Works with both self-hosted and Odoo.sh deployments.
Two-way Odoo ↔ Shopify sync — orders, inventory, customers, payments, refunds. Works with Community + Enterprise + Odoo.sh, multi-warehouse and multi-currency ready.

What this connector does
Odoo's modular architecture (Sales, Inventory, Accounting, Manufacturing, CRM all in one database) makes it a natural back-office for Shopify merchants — but the out-of-the-box Odoo-Shopify connectors from the community app store are generally single-warehouse, single-currency, and break when Shopify's quarterly API updates ship. The ERPPlugs Odoo ↔ Shopify connector is the managed alternative: a fully-supported, multi-warehouse, multi-currency, region-tax-aware integration that runs the same on Odoo Community, Enterprise, and Odoo.sh.
Every Shopify order becomes an Odoo Sales Order with correct customer creation (or match-and-reuse if the customer already exists in Odoo), item line matching against Odoo product masters, correct fiscal position assignment per shipping destination (GST fiscal positions for India, intra-community VAT for EU, Avalara/TaxJar for US), and the payment method mapped to the right Odoo journal. Multi-warehouse Odoo setups pick the fulfilling warehouse based on inventory availability and your configurable business rules. Inventory sync runs bidirectionally every 15 minutes — Odoo stock moves push to Shopify as availability updates; Shopify sales decrement Odoo quants.
Payment reconciliation is where most manual effort hides. Shopify Payments settles daily, netting platform fees and currency conversion against gross collections. The ERPPlugs connector reads each payout, decomposes it into its constituent transactions, and posts a Payment Entry in Odoo matched against the outstanding Sales Orders — with platform fees recorded as expenses and multi-currency differences captured in the FX gain/loss account. Refunds and returns flow from Shopify to Odoo as Credit Notes with correct tax reversal and inventory restock, keeping the books audit-ready at all times.

What changes when you plug ERPPlugs in
See how automation transforms your Odoo-Shopify workflow.
| Task | Manual Integration | ERPPlugs |
|---|---|---|
| Order import | Manually exporting Shopify orders and re-entering them as Odoo Sales Orders — 5-10 minutes per order | Every Shopify order auto-imported as an Odoo Sales Order with customer, items, and tax in real time |
| Inventory sync | Inventory counts diverging between Odoo warehouses and Shopify, causing overselling on high-demand SKUs | Bidirectional inventory sync across multi-warehouse Odoo setups — stock levels match within 15 minutes |
| Tax handling | GST/VAT/sales tax applied inconsistently because Shopify tax rules don't map to Odoo fiscal positions automatically | Region-appropriate tax (GST for India, VAT for EU, US sales tax via Avalara) mapped to Odoo fiscal positions automatically |
| Payment reconciliation | Shopify Payments settlements reconciled in spreadsheets at month-end, taking 2-4 days | Shopify Payments settlements reconciled daily with Odoo payment entries — zero manual matching |
| Returns processing | Returns processed in Shopify but credit notes created manually in Odoo days later | Refunds and returns auto-generate Odoo Credit Notes with correct tax reversal and inventory restock |
Built for teams that need reliable automation
The Odoo <-> Shopifyconnector fits into finance, ops, and revenue teams that have outgrown copy-paste — the ones whose month-end close should not depend on a spreadsheet, whose ledger accuracy should not depend on human vigilance, and whose sales velocity should not stall behind an accountant's inbox.
Below are the roles that get the fastest return the moment this connector goes live. If yours is on the list, the payback is typically visible in the first billing cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes to all three. The ERPPlugs connector uses Odoo's standard XML-RPC + JSON-RPC APIs which are consistent across editions. Odoo.sh deployments work identically — the connector talks to the same API endpoints. Enterprise-only features (like Studio-customised fields) are handled with configurable field mapping.
When a Shopify order comes in with a ship-to address, the ERPPlugs connector reads Odoo inventory availability across all warehouses + your business rules (nearest warehouse, cheapest shipping, avoid warehouse X if stock < threshold) and picks the fulfilling warehouse. The Sales Order in Odoo is created against that warehouse; inventory decrements there; the Shopify order gets tagged with the fulfillment location.
Every Shopify order carries a shopper currency (from Shopify Payments or Shopify Markets). The ERPPlugs connector creates the Odoo Sales Order in the shopper currency, applies Odoo's FX rate for that day to compute the home-currency equivalent, and posts the payment in the shopper currency with the Odoo Journal handling the FX reconciliation. Multi-currency Odoo Journals must be enabled — the connector doesn't work around a single-currency setup.
Shopify B2B (formerly Shopify Plus's wholesale channel) has per-buyer catalogues and negotiated pricing. The ERPPlugs connector reads Shopify's buyer-price on each order (rather than the storefront price) and creates the Odoo Sales Order at that price, so wholesale-margin math is correct. Net-payment-term buyers on Shopify B2B (Net 30, Net 60) sync as Odoo Sales Orders with the corresponding payment terms.
Yes. A single Odoo database can serve many Shopify stores — each storefront is a separate authorisation + can map to a distinct Odoo warehouse, journal, and customer prefix. Common setup: brand A on Shopify, brand B on Shopify, both fulfilled from the same Odoo warehouse but with distinct P&L via Odoo analytic accounts.
Community modules (Bista Solutions, ODOOKA, etc.) are cheap and work for single-warehouse single-currency setups, but they require Odoo expertise to configure and break when Shopify's API changes (which happens quarterly). The ERPPlugs connector is managed — API changes handled by us, multi-warehouse + multi-currency + region-tax handled by us, and support included. Trade-off is subscription cost vs one-time module cost.
