Shopify Integration
Zynk's Shopify integration connects your store to the accounting, ERP, CRM and shipping systems behind it. Orders, customers, payouts and balance transactions move out of Shopify automatically, while products, stock levels, prices, fulfilments and refunds come back in. It suits D2C and B2B merchants running Sage, Xero, Dynamics 365 Business Central and similar back-office systems.

Benefits
Why businesses connect Shopify
Orders reach finance without rekeying
Shopify orders and customers export to your accounting or ERP system as they arrive, with tax, discounts and shipping mapped to your own codes. Finance sees every sale without anyone copying it out of the Shopify admin.
Payouts that reconcile
Payouts and balance transactions export alongside orders. Each balance transaction records the charge, refund or adjustment behind a payout, so finance can match Shopify Payments deposits to the bank instead of rebuilding them in a spreadsheet.
Stock levels you can trust
Inventory levels import into Shopify from the system that owns your stock, whether that is Sage, an ERP or a warehouse platform. The store only offers what you can ship, which cuts overselling in busy periods.
B2B on the same connector
Companies, catalogs, publications and price lists import into Shopify from your back office. B2B buyers on Shopify Plus see the products and negotiated prices agreed for their account, and their orders flow out like any other.
Refunds and cancellations in step
When a refund or cancellation is agreed in your back office, Zynk imports it into Shopify along with any order updates, so the order history in Shopify matches what finance holds.
Fulfilment and tracking
Fulfilments import into Shopify once your warehouse or shipping platform despatches an order. Shopify marks the order as fulfilled and holds the tracking details, so customers are not left wondering where their parcel is.

The problem
Why integrate Shopify?
Shopify makes selling easy. Everything after the sale is harder: each order has to reach the accounts, payouts have to reconcile against the bank, stock has to stay accurate across channels and B2B buyers expect their own prices. Without integration that work lands on your team, and it grows with every order you take.
Without integration
- Orders keyed into the accounts one at a time after every sale
- Shopify payouts that won't reconcile to the bank without a spreadsheet
- Stock sold online that has already gone in the warehouse
- Customers waiting for tracking after their order has shipped
- B2B buyers seeing the wrong prices because price lists live in the ERP
With Zynk
- Orders export to your accounting or ERP system automatically
- Payouts and balance transactions export so the bank reconciles cleanly
- Inventory imports into Shopify so the store shows real availability
- Fulfilments import into Shopify as soon as orders are despatched
- Price lists and catalogs import from the ERP for each B2B company
How it works
How the Shopify integration works
Step 1: Connect
Zynk connects to your Shopify store through Shopify's Admin API and to your finance, ERP or warehouse system. There are no Shopify apps for your team to build, host or maintain.
Step 2: Map
Map products, variants, tax rates, payment gateways, shipping methods and B2B companies so that Shopify data lines up with the codes and accounts your back office already uses.
Step 3: Test
Run the workflows against sample orders and check the results in both systems before switching on. Our team adjusts the mappings until totals, tax and stock agree.
Step 4: Automate
Workflows run on a schedule or in near real time, with alerts if anything needs attention. As order volumes grow, you change the schedule rather than add staff to key in data.

What data can Zynk move between Shopify and other systems?
Zynk can export orders, customers, products, variants, payouts, balance transactions, abandoned checkouts and B2B companies from Shopify. It can import products, inventory, prices, price lists, catalogs, fulfilments, refunds, order cancellations and order updates back into Shopify.
Can Zynk connect Shopify to Sage?
Yes. Zynk connects Shopify to Sage 50, Sage 200 and Sage Intacct. Orders and customers flow into Sage as sales orders or invoices, and stock levels and prices can be sent back to Shopify so the store matches your accounts.
Does the Shopify integration support Shopify B2B?
Yes. Shopify's B2B features are part of Shopify Plus, and Zynk can import companies, catalogs, publications and price lists into those stores from your ERP. Company orders export to finance like any other order, so B2B and D2C run through one connector.
Does the Shopify integration run in real time?
Zynk workflows can run on a schedule, such as every few minutes, or be triggered in near real time, depending on the systems involved. You choose how often orders, stock and payouts move between Shopify and your other systems.
Can Zynk help reconcile Shopify Payments payouts?
Zynk exports Shopify payouts and balance transactions, which show the charges, refunds and adjustments behind each payout. Sending these to your accounting system alongside orders gives finance what it needs to match Shopify Payments deposits to the bank.
Can Zynk keep Shopify stock levels up to date?
Yes. Zynk imports inventory levels into Shopify from the system that holds your stock, such as Sage 200, Business Central or a warehouse platform. Workflows can run every few minutes, so the store reflects what is available to sell.
Do I need to build a Shopify app to use Zynk?
No. Zynk connects to Shopify for you, so there is no app or custom code for your team to write, host or keep up to date. Our team sets up the connection to your store during onboarding and it is maintained as part of the service.
