Introducing the Alumio Route Builder
Now connect, orchestrate, and govern integrations at scale from one visual interface
Allocation decided in Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O lands on the Shopify location that will fulfil it, so the storefront's available-to-sell figure matches the quantity the ERP actually reserved.
Most commerce integrations run the other way, with the storefront capturing an order and the ERP catching up. Businesses running Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O usually need the reverse: the ERP decides what each channel may sell, at what price, out of which site, and Shopify has to reflect that. Without the connection somebody publishes an assortment sheet and hopes. Shopify meanwhile sells against its own available-to-sell figure per location, whatever the ERP intended. The Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O to Shopify integration makes the ERP the sender: allocation lands in the location model, not as a total.
DATA THAT FLOWS BETWEEN THEM
Allocated stock
Price agreements
Channel assortment
Product releases
Orders
Shipment confirmations
Allocation from Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O is written per Shopify location, so the available-to-sell figure the storefront enforces reflects the reservation, not a group total.
Channel assortment released in Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O decides what appears in Shopify, so a product goes live when the ERP says it may be sold, not when somebody remembers to.
Price agreements maintained in Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O are applied in Shopify, so a promotion or a negotiated rate does not have to be re-entered in the storefront by hand.
Because Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O is the sender and Shopify the receiver, nobody reconciles two systems that were both allowed to change the same figure at the same time.
When Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O allocates stock to the web channel, Alumio writes it to the matching Shopify location rather than as one total, so the available-to-sell figure the storefront enforces is the reservation itself.
A product released for the web channel in Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O appears in Shopify with its price agreement already applied, so launches follow the ERP's own schedule instead of waiting on a manual publishing step.
Shopify orders return to Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O for fulfilment and shipment confirmations flow back out again, so the customer follows dispatch progress while the ERP keeps the authoritative record of the sale.
Alumio sits between sales channels and fulfillment systems as a governed integration backbone. Orders are routed, transformed, and validated, while status updates return to every channel.
Authenticate your systems using Alumio's pre-built connectors. Choose from 200+ connector packages in the marketplace, plus unlimited custom integrations.
Define how data fields map between systems in a visual interface. Adjust formats, enrich records, and apply business logic, no custom code required.
Configure flows to run in real time on events, on a schedule, or both. Reduce manual data entry and let Alumio handle movement and transformation between systems.

Once your first integration is live, adding your ERP, PIM, WMS, or CRM connects to the same hub. Existing flows keep running. No rebuilding from scratch.
A second channel is rather the point of building it this way. Once Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O is the system deciding allocation and assortment, adding a marketplace or another Shopify store means giving it one more destination rather than one more integration. Alumio holds those channels centrally, so allocation is split across them from one place.
Yes, and this is the direction to automate first. Alumio publishes allocated quantities, price agreements and channel assortment from Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O to Shopify on the cadence you choose, and returns orders for fulfilment. The manual assortment sheet disappears, and the storefront reflects what the ERP has committed to that channel.
No, this is configured in Alumio rather than developed. Publishing allocation, price agreements and assortment from Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O to Shopify is mapping and scheduling work in the interface, replacing the spreadsheet that tells the web team what it may sell. Enterprise allocation logic is rarely standard, so the Code Transformer handles a rule like splitting a reservation across two stores by past demand.
You get a race nobody wins. Shopify enforces its own available-to-sell figure per location and will keep selling against it, so if Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O also adjusts that quantity the last write decides and the two disagree quietly. Run it one way, ERP to location, and Shopify reports what it sold without overwriting the reservation.
The storefront keeps its last published allocation rather than dropping to zero or to everything, both of which are worse than being slightly stale. Alumio monitors each publish in real time and records what it sent, so a failed update to Shopify alerts immediately and retries automatically where configured. The log names the product and the reason, so no allocation change goes missing.
