Introducing the Alumio Route Builder
Now connect, orchestrate, and govern integrations at scale from one visual interface
Product records created in Shopify reach Salsify already prepared for syndication, so a listing sent out to a retailer carries exactly the same content the brand's own storefront is showing.
Salsify exists to meet each retailer's requirements, and every retailer wants something different: its own attribute names, image counts and content rules. A brand selling on Shopify keeps one version of a product there and then rebuilds it per channel in spreadsheets. The storefront and the retailer listing drift apart, and a claim corrected in one place stays wrong in the other for a season. Connecting Shopify and Salsify closes that gap: product records flow in ready for syndication, and the enriched content comes back out to the storefront.
DATA THAT FLOWS BETWEEN THEM
Products
Product attributes
Digital assets
Channel readiness
Syndication status
Content updates
Product records from Shopify feed Salsify for syndication, so the brand's storefront and its retailer listings describe the same item instead of drifting apart over a season.
Salsify holds each retailer's attribute and image requirements while Shopify holds the commercial record, so meeting a new retailer's spec does not mean rebuilding the product.
A content fix made once reaches Shopify and the syndicated channels through Salsify, so a wrong claim is not left live on a retailer listing after the storefront was fixed.
Because content moves without a spreadsheet stage in between, a new product reaches Salsify and then its retailer channels while the launch window is still actually open.
When a product is created in Shopify, Alumio sends it to Salsify with its attributes and assets, so the syndication team starts from a populated record rather than building one out of a spreadsheet export again.
Salsify maps the brand's attributes to each retailer's requirements, and Alumio keeps Shopify supplied with the enriched content coming back the other way, so the storefront benefits from the work done for those channel listings.
A corrected claim or replacement image entered once moves through Salsify to its channels and back to Shopify, so no retailer listing anywhere is left carrying content that the brand has already retired entirely.
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.

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.
An EDI connection to those same retailers is often next. Brands running Shopify with Salsify find content and orders travel to the same partners by different routes, and only one of them is automated. Alumio holds both, so a retailer receiving a syndicated listing can also receive orders and confirmations through the same governed layer.
Yes, and channel readiness is checked on the way. Alumio sends Shopify products, attributes and assets to Salsify as they are created or changed, and brings enriched content back to the storefront. Because Salsify is where retailer requirements live, the pattern that works is Shopify as the commercial record and Salsify as the readiness layer.
No, this is configured rather than coded. Mapping Shopify product fields and assets onto the Salsify structure, and choosing what returns to the storefront, are interface tasks that replace the per-retailer spreadsheet. Attribute models diverge sharply between retailers, so the Code Transformer covers transformations mapping cannot express, such as deriving a compliance field from several source attributes.
In Salsify, because that is what it is built for. Shopify holds the commercial record, the price, the variant and the stock, and does not model one retailer wanting a 3000-character description while another caps it at 500. Pushing retailer rules into Shopify metafields works until the third retailer. Keep requirements in Salsify and let the storefront take back only what improves it.
An incomplete product reaching a retailer channel is the expensive failure, so nothing is passed on half-formed. Every transfer is watched live and its payload retained, and a product Salsify will not accept is held back with the missing attributes and the reason recorded against it. Alerts go out at once, retries run automatically where they are configured, and the previous good version stays live, so no listing is silently degraded.
