Odoo Ecommerce Integration

YOUR STORE,RUN FROMYOUR ERP

We connect Odoo to your online store, whether Shopify, WooCommerce or a custom storefront, so products, stock, orders, deliveries and invoices stay in step without exports.

01Our Approach

Odoo already knows what you hold, what it costs and where it sits, so your store should ask Odoo instead of keeping its own version.

02Overview

Your online store running on Odoo data

  • 01Odoo as master
  • 02Orders into Odoo
  • 03Stock by warehouse

Odoo ecommerce integration makes Odoo the source of products, prices and stock for a store hosted elsewhere, and returns that store's orders to Odoo as sales orders ready for delivery and invoicing. We connect through Odoo's external API on one side and the store's API on the other, most often Shopify or WooCommerce, with a service that maps, queues and retries between them.

It suits companies that run inventory, purchasing and accounting in Odoo but sell through a storefront chosen for its design, apps or checkout. Odoo models products as templates with variants, tracks stock by warehouse and location and applies its own taxes and fiscal positions. Fitting a store's simpler model to that structure is the real work, and it is decided before any code is written.

03What We Do

Capabilities, End to End

01
Template and variant mapping

Odoo product templates, variants, attributes, pricelists, taxes and units of measure are mapped to the store's products and options, with stable identifiers on both sides.

02
Odoo leads, store follows

Odoo owns products, prices and stock. The store owns the customer's order until it is confirmed in Odoo, after which delivery and invoice status flow back.

03
Keys and user rights

The service signs in to Odoo with an API key for a dedicated user whose access rights cover sales, inventory and contacts only, and uses scoped credentials on the store.

04
Order exception queue

An order Odoo cannot confirm, for example through an archived product or a missing tax mapping, waits with the reason until someone resolves it.

05
Retries with references

Each store order carries its reference into Odoo, so a retry after a timeout finds the existing sales order instead of creating another one.

06
Stock and sync monitoring

Quantities are compared between Odoo and the store on a schedule, and delays, failures and differences raise alerts to the person responsible.

06How It Runs

From Kickoff to Launch

01
Read your Odoo
02
Fit the models
03
Build on copies
04
Switch over
01
Read your Odoo

We look at version, hosting, installed modules and customizations, and at how products, warehouses, pricelists and fiscal positions are configured, because integrations depend on all of them.

02
Fit the models

Mapping between Odoo's structure and the store's is agreed with your team, including which warehouses feed online stock and how bundles, kits and backorders should behave.

03
Build on copies

The service is built against a duplicate Odoo database and a development store, and then exercised with orders that include discounts, partial deliveries, returns and refunds.

04
Switch over

Products are published from Odoo, live orders begin to flow and both systems are reconciled daily at first. The dashboard and runbook then pass to your team.

Built for Teams Like Yours

FLAGSHIP
Odoo runs the business but the store stands apart

Stock is correct in Odoo and out of date on the website. Online orders are entered again as sales orders. Prices are changed in two places and sometimes only in one. A connector module was tried and did not survive your customizations.

09Questions

What buyers ask before they start

If yours is not here, ask us directly. The first conversation is free and useful whether or not we work together.

Access to Odoo's external API, which on Odoo Online is documented as available only on the Custom pricing plan. Databases on Odoo.sh or your own servers are not restricted in that way. From version 19, Odoo is replacing its older XML-RPC and JSON-RPC endpoints with a newer JSON-2 API, so we build for the version you run and check Odoo's current documentation before starting.

Yes, it is the most frequent request. Odoo publishes products, prices and stock to Shopify, with each warehouse mapped to a Shopify location. Shopify orders arrive in Odoo as sales orders with their taxes, discounts and shipping, and delivery confirmation returns to Shopify with tracking. Refunds and returns are mapped as well. Payouts can be passed to Odoo accounting for reconciliation if you want that included.

It is worth considering. Odoo includes a website and ecommerce application that shares the database, so no integration is needed at all. That is the simplest architecture and suits straightforward catalogues. Companies choose an external store when they need its themes, checkout, apps or marketplace reach. We will tell you if your requirements would be met more cheaply inside Odoo.

Many are, for standard setups. Connector modules exist for the common platforms and are quick to install. They run inside Odoo, which matters on Odoo Online where custom modules cannot be installed, and they can conflict with customizations or lag behind new versions. We review the candidates for your case honestly, and recommend custom work only where they fall short.

A separate service that talks to Odoo through its documented API is less exposed to upgrades than code installed inside the database. Before each upgrade we run the integration's test scenarios against the upgraded test copy that Odoo's process produces. Changes to models or endpoints between versions are handled there, so production orders are not the first to discover a difference.
