Introducing the Alumio Route Builder
Now connect, orchestrate, and govern integrations at scale from one visual interface
Shopware orders post into the ERPNext stock ledger and item and price data returns to the storefront, so an open-source commerce stack behaves like one system rather than two loosely related ones.
ERPNext is open source and modelled through custom DocTypes, so two implementations rarely look alike. Shopware organises selling around sales channels and rule-driven pricing. Left unconnected, orders are exported and imported daily, the stock ledger falls behind what the storefront already sold, and someone maintains a mapping spreadsheet between Shopware numbers and ERPNext item codes. A Shopware to ERPNext integration through Alumio makes the link explicit: item codes and prices flow out, orders and customers flow in as ledger entries, and the mapping lives in configuration.
DATA THAT FLOWS BETWEEN THEM
Items
Item prices
Stock ledger entries
Sales orders
Customers
Delivery notes
Sales invoices
Shopware sales post to the ERPNext stock ledger as they happen, so the ledger reflects what has actually been sold rather than catching up on the next scheduled import.
The relationship between Shopware products and ERPNext item codes is held in configuration, so a mapping spreadsheet stops being the thing that quietly breaks a launch.
Fields specific to your ERPNext implementation are mapped explicitly, so a bespoke DocType is handled deliberately rather than being dropped somewhere on the way to Shopware.
Sales invoices are raised in ERPNext directly from the Shopware order, so the same transaction is not keyed twice and both systems agree on what was actually billed.
A completed Shopware order creates the ERPNext sales order and its stock ledger movement, so inventory reflects the sale immediately and the warehouse is not picking against a figure that was accurate only at last night's import.
ERPNext item prices are published to the matching Shopware sales channel, so a price change agreed in the ERP reaches the storefront in the right channel and currency without an editor updating products individually by hand.
A first-time Shopware buyer creates the corresponding ERPNext customer with their addresses and tax category, so the sales invoice posts against a proper record rather than a generic web customer nobody can report 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.
More can be connected, and businesses on this stack commonly add a shipping platform next, because ERPNext raises the delivery note while labels, tracking and carrier selection happen elsewhere. Alumio connects all three, so tracking references reach the Shopware order and the customer sees dispatch progress without support checking a carrier portal on their behalf.
Yes. Alumio reads items, prices and stock from ERPNext and updates the matching Shopware products and sales channels, on change or on a schedule. Because ERPNext price lists and Shopware channels both support several currencies and customer groups, the mapping specifies which list feeds which channel rather than pushing one universal price at the whole storefront.
Configuration handles the standard flows, replacing the export and import routine this pairing usually runs on. ERPNext is open source and extended through custom DocTypes, so implementations diverge quickly, and a field or document type unique to yours can be handled with custom logic in the Code Transformer rather than forcing your model back toward a generic shape.
It can, and for most sellers it should. Alumio creates the ERPNext sales order and its associated stock movement as the Shopware order completes, so the ledger and the storefront agree within moments rather than overnight. Where a business deliberately batches posting to suit an accounting routine, that becomes a scheduled flow instead, which is a configuration choice rather than a limitation of the connection.
The stock ledger is never left with a half-posted movement. Alumio logs every message with its payload, monitors both connections live, and raises an immediate alert when ERPNext or Shopware rejects one, showing the document and the error it returned. Retries run automatically where configured, and an order that still cannot post waits in the queue with full context rather than disappearing without trace.
