Shopify orders reach Microsoft Dynamics NAV through its web services and shipment tracking returns to the buyer, so an on-premise ERP serves the storefront without anyone rekeying a sale.
Merchants selling on Shopify while running Microsoft Dynamics NAV, often an older on-premise install, tend to bridge the two with manual exports or a brittle custom script. Without a dependable link, Shopify orders are keyed into NAV by hand, stock in NAV never reaches the storefront in time, and every NAV upgrade threatens to break the connection. Connecting Shopify and Microsoft Dynamics NAV through Alumio automates order capture and stock updates between them, so the storefront reflects NAV inventory and the ERP records each sale without manual work or fragile code.

Every Shopify order lands in Microsoft Dynamics NAV ready for picking and invoicing, so no one retypes web orders into the ERP and fulfillment starts from accurate data.
NAV inventory flows to Shopify automatically, so the storefront shows what is really available and shoppers stop ordering items the warehouse recorded as gone in Dynamics NAV.
Integration logic lives in Alumio, not in NAV customizations, so a Shopify change or a Dynamics NAV upgrade no longer means rebuilding a fragile custom connection from scratch.
With Shopify and NAV linked through one hub, adding a marketplace or a second storefront later reuses the same ERP setup rather than starting another integration from nothing.
When a customer orders on Shopify, Alumio creates it in Microsoft Dynamics NAV with the line items, customer, and shipping details attached, so the warehouse picks and finance invoices from the ERP without rekeying the web order.
When stock levels change in Microsoft Dynamics NAV after a receipt or a sale, Alumio updates the matching Shopify products within moments, so the storefront shows real availability and avoids overselling items NAV records as gone.
When NAV marks an order shipped and records a tracking number, Alumio passes it to Shopify so the order updates and the buyer is notified, keeping customers informed without support staff copying details from Dynamics NAV by hand.
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. Merchants on an older Dynamics NAV install usually add a warehouse or shipping system next, so picking and tracking are not left to manual work. Alumio connects those through the same hub and reuses the NAV connection already configured, which matters most here because each new NAV integration would otherwise mean another bespoke script.
Yes. Alumio sends each Shopify order into Microsoft Dynamics NAV through its web services and returns NAV stock to the storefront, without an export in either direction. You choose how often stock refreshes and whether orders move immediately, so a busy storefront stays accurate without holding open a constant connection to an on-premise ERP.
No, and that is the main reason teams move off their existing setup: Shopify to NAV integrations are typically bespoke codeunits or scripts that break at the next NAV upgrade. Alumio keeps the order and stock mappings in configuration outside the ERP, so upgrading Dynamics NAV does not mean rewriting the connection to Shopify from scratch.
Yes. Alumio connects to an on-premise Microsoft Dynamics NAV through a secure connection to its web services, so Shopify can exchange orders and stock with NAV without the ERP being opened directly to the public internet. The integration logic runs in Alumio rather than inside NAV, so an older or heavily customized on-premise install can trade data with Shopify without new development on the ERP itself.
If the link to an on-premise Microsoft Dynamics NAV drops mid-transfer, Alumio holds the affected Shopify orders and retries them rather than letting a sale fall through. Each message is logged live with the order and the exact error NAV returned, such as an item code the ERP no longer carries, so you can see what went wrong. Retries run automatically where configured, and any order that cannot post raises an alert, so no order is silently lost between Shopify and NAV.
