Push Shopify orders into IFS the moment they are placed, so inventory, fulfillment, and invoicing data update automatically across both systems without any manual re-entry between them.
Retailers running Shopify for their storefront often keep IFS as the ERP handling inventory, manufacturing, and finance in the background. Without a live connection, orders placed on Shopify sit disconnected from IFS: warehouse teams work from stale inventory counts, finance re-keys invoices by hand, and customers see stock levels that no longer match what IFS actually holds in the warehouse. Connecting Shopify and IFS through Alumio automates the full order-to-fulfillment flow, so every team works from the same accurate, real-time data across the business.

IFS inventory levels push into Shopify automatically, so shoppers never order something the warehouse cannot fulfill and stock counts stay accurate across every channel.
Shopify orders land in IFS automatically, ready for picking, invoicing, and financial reporting, with no one retyping order details between the storefront and the back office.
Combine order data from Shopify with inventory and finance data from IFS for one consolidated view, without exporting and merging spreadsheets across two separate systems.
IFS handles multi-entity and multi-currency operations behind the scenes, while Alumio keeps every Shopify storefront synced to the same accurate source of truth as you expand.
When a customer checks out on Shopify, Alumio sends the order into IFS immediately, so warehouse staff can start picking against real inventory instead of waiting on a manual export from the storefront team each morning.
When stock levels change in IFS after a production run or a physical stock count, Alumio updates Shopify within moments, so the storefront never oversells items the warehouse cannot actually deliver on time to customers.
When a customer returns an item through Shopify, Alumio triggers the return in IFS, updates inventory, and issues the credit note automatically, so finance never has to reconcile the transaction by hand later on.
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.
Yes, and manufacturers on IFS usually add a warehouse system or a marketplace next, once Shopify and the ERP are exchanging orders reliably. Alumio runs those connections from the same hub, so the IFS configuration you built for Shopify is reused rather than rebuilt, and a second sales channel reads the same production and stock data without another ERP project.
Yes. Alumio publishes finished-goods availability from IFS to Shopify and, for built-to-order lines, the manufacturing lead time instead of a stock count. You pick which IFS warehouses feed the storefront, so Shopify reflects what the plant can actually ship rather than a company-wide total that includes stock reserved for other production orders.
No. What normally needs building is the mapping between Shopify variant SKUs and IFS part numbers, including unit-of-measure conversions where IFS stocks in one unit and the storefront sells in another. Alumio holds that mapping as configuration, so a new range or a changed part number is handled in the interface rather than in a script someone has to redeploy.
Yes. For made-to-order items, Alumio passes the manufacturing lead time and build status from IFS to Shopify instead of a simple in-stock count, so the storefront shows an accurate availability date rather than a misleading stock figure. When a customer orders a configured or built-to-order product on Shopify, Alumio sends the order into IFS to trigger the production schedule, and pushes each status change back to the shopper.
If a Shopify order fails to reach IFS, Alumio holds and surfaces it rather than letting a sale slip past the shop floor unscheduled. Every order and stock message is logged live with its full content, so you can trace whether IFS accepted or rejected the order, for example when a made-to-order line hits a validation rule. Alumio retries delivery automatically where configured and alerts you with the rejection detail if it cannot, so no order is silently dropped before production.
