THE CHALLENGE

Running Shopify and Odoo as Two Separate Systems

Most growing e-commerce businesses run Shopify for their storefront and Odoo for operations — but without a deep, native connection, the gap between them creates constant friction:

Inventory Out of Sync

Stock levels updated in Odoo don't reflect on Shopify in time, leading to overselling and customer complaints.

Manual Double-Entry

Teams re-enter Shopify orders into Odoo manually — hours of wasted effort and constant human error risk.

Product Catalog Chaos

Updating product details, prices, or variants in two places means inconsistencies and slow time-to-market.

No Single Source of Truth

Reporting is fragmented — sales data in Shopify, fulfilment in Odoo, finance scattered across spreadsheets.

The Commerce9 Solution

Our Shopify × Odoo 19 Connector is a native Odoo module — not a third-party middleware or API bolt-on — built directly inside Odoo using Shopify's Admin GraphQL API. Products flow both ways. Orders arrive automatically. Inventory stays in perfect sync. Your team manages everything from Odoo's single interface.

TECHNICAL OVERVIEW

How the Connector Works

The connector is built as a modular stack of three Odoo add-ons, each adding a distinct layer of capability. This keeps the architecture clean — each module only depends on the one below it.

Module Architecture

Module

Layer

What It Does

odoo_ecommerce

Base Engine

Channel-agnostic sync framework. Manages ecommerce accounts, offers (mapped products), locations, and order orchestration. Foundation for any e-commerce channel.

ecommerce_shopify

Shopify Pull (Import)

Pulls products, orders, inventory, and images from Shopify via the Admin GraphQL API. Manages Shopify authentication (OAuth + Access Token), webhooks, and product image gallery sync.

ecommerce_shopify_upsync

Shopify Push (Export)

Pushes Odoo products, variants, images, metafields, pricing, and inventory settings to Shopify. Handles bidirectional metafield sync, market pricing, sales channel publishing.

Authentication Methods

OAuth App Flow

Secure OAuth 2.0 authorization via Shopify's app install flow. HMAC signature verification on every callback. Perfect for multi-tenant SaaS setups.

Access Token

Direct Private App / Custom App access token. Ideal for single-store deployments where the Shopify admin manages the token directly.

CORE FEATURE: PRODUCT MANAGEMENT

Complete Bidirectional Product Sync

Every product detail that matters to your storefront is synchronized — automatically and accurately — in both directions between Odoo and Shopify. No manual re-entry. No mismatched data.

What Pushes from Odoo → Shopify

Product title, description, vendor & type
URL handle, SEO title & SEO description
Product tags & Shopify Standard Taxonomy category
Published status & sales channel selection
Product variants with SKU & barcode
Variant price & compare-at (strikethrough) price
Weight with automatic unit conversion
Requires-shipping & taxable flags
Tax code (for Avalara / TaxJar integration)
Inventory management & out-of-stock policy
Product images, gallery images & variant-linked images
Image alt text & explicit display order
Gift card heuristic mapping
Custom metafields (including Google Shopping)
Shopify Markets: per-market pricing & inclusion
Fulfilment service location (3PL support)

What Pulls from Shopify → Odoo

Full product catalog with all variants
Product image gallery (full media, not just featured image)
Product metafield values
Metafield definitions (centralized, auto-applied)
Inventory quantities per location
Sales channel / publication list
Shopify Product ID & handle mapping
Inventory item IDs per variant
Variant Shopify IDs
Order data (via webhook)
Customer details from orders
Market catalog publication IDs

Smart Image Sync — No Duplicates, Ever

Our connector uses a three-stage image reconciliation algorithm: (1) match by stored Shopify Media ID, (2) fall back to SHA-256 content-hash comparison, (3) only upload if genuinely new. Images removed from Odoo are cleaned up on Shopify. Re-syncing never creates duplicate images — even after multiple push cycles.

ADVANCED CAPABILITY

Multi-Channel Publishing & Push Workflow

Most connectors push to one place. Ours pushes everywhere — Online Store, Point of Sale, marketplace apps, and any custom Shopify publication channel — all from a single Odoo action.

Sales Channel Publishing

Fetch & Mirror Channels

One-click fetch of all Shopify Publications and Market Catalogs. Stored in Odoo and available for selection per product or account-wide.

Custom Channel Selection

Set "Custom (Selected Channels)" scope and tick exactly which channels each product is published to — Online Store, POS, Facebook, Instagram, or any app.

Publish Scope Options

Choose: Publish All, Unpublish All, or Custom (Selected Channels) — flexible enough for any merchandising strategy.

Auto-Push on Mapping

When an Odoo product variant is linked to a Shopify account offer, the product is automatically pushed to Shopify — no extra step needed.

Product Push Workflow

Push New Product Wizard

guided setup from the product form or accounts screen

Bulk Push Products

one-action push of all mapped products from an account

One-Click Re-Push

instantly re-push this product's variants from the product form

Conflict Resolution

handles multiple Shopify accounts, detects conflicting mappings before pushing

Existing Product Restore

if a Shopify product was deleted and re-created, the connector finds and restores the mapping by handle or SKU

Offer Auto-Creation

variants without an offer are auto-created so they're included in the Shopify product options/variants

Push Status Tracking

per-offer status: Pending / Pushed / Error, with full error message stored

Taxonomy & Categorisation

Standard Product Taxonomy

Map any Odoo product category to Shopify's Standard Product Taxonomy GID. Products inherit the category mapping unless overridden at the template level.

Shopify Collections

Assign products to Shopify Collections (Smart or Custom). Collection GID is stored per product template and included in every push.
