Linnworks Integration with Sage, ERP and Accounts

View Capabilities

Linnworks handles your orders and inventory across every channel you sell on. Your finance system handles the money. If nothing connects them, someone is exporting orders at the end of each day and importing them into the ledger, and stock figures in the two systems slowly stop agreeing.

Linnworks is a multichannel order and inventory management platform, strong at the front of the operation: listings, marketplaces, stock allocation and dispatch. It is not an accounting system, and it is not an ERP. That is the join we build.

Linnworks and your ERP or accounting system

This is what most businesses actually come to us for. Orders that Linnworks has processed need to become sales invoices in the finance system. Stock movements need to be reflected in both places. Refunds need to reconcile. Purchase and supplier data needs to flow the other way.

We build that join across the Sage range, including Sage 50, Sage 200, Sage Intacct and Sage Business Cloud Accounting, and to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. If you are running something else, tell us and we will say straight away whether we can connect it.

Sage is the one we are asked about most often, and it is the part of this market we know best. If you are running Linnworks in front of Sage, that is well-trodden ground for us rather than a first attempt.

Why Linnworks users choose Zynk

We build it and we run it. This is a managed integration, not a tool you configure yourself. When Linnworks or your ERP changes something, fixing it is our job.
Two-way, not one-way. Orders, products, shipments, stock levels and refunds all move in the direction you need them to, rather than one export in a single direction.
Mapped to your process. How a Linnworks order becomes an invoice, which nominal codes it hits, how multi-channel sales are separated for reporting, all of that is configured to how you work.
Built for multichannel volume. Businesses using Linnworks are usually shipping a lot of orders across a lot of channels. The integration is designed to keep up rather than fall behind at peak.
UK based, and deep on Sage. Most of our work is Sage integration for UK businesses, which is exactly the pairing the Linnworks market keeps asking for.

What Linnworks integration helps you improve

Stock that agrees across systems. When levels update automatically in both directions, you stop overselling on one channel because another one has already moved the stock.
Faster order to cash. Orders reach the finance system as they are processed rather than in a batch at the end of the week, so invoicing and cash collection are not waiting on an export.
Reporting you can trust. Finance and operations working from the same numbers, without a reconciliation step to find out which system is right.

Common questions

Can Linnworks integrate with Sage?

Yes, and it is the pairing we are asked about most. Orders processed in Linnworks become sales transactions in Sage, stock stays aligned across both, and refunds reconcile without anyone matching them by hand. We work across Sage 50, Sage 200, Sage Intacct and Sage Business Cloud Accounting.

Does Linnworks integrate with an ERP on its own?

No. Linnworks manages orders and inventory rather than finance, so connecting it to an ERP is a separate piece of work. That is what we do: we build and run the connection, then support it afterwards.

Is the integration two-way?

Yes. Orders, products and refunds move out of Linnworks, and order updates, products, shipments and stock levels move back in. The table below shows exactly which.

Can the sync be scheduled?

Yes. Most businesses run it continuously through the day or overnight, and it can also be triggered on demand.

Will this stop us overselling?

It helps considerably. Overselling usually happens when stock moves in one system and another does not hear about it for hours. Keeping levels synced automatically closes most of that window.
