Shopify is excellent storefront software, but it should not run every channel alone
Once you add marketplaces, B2B orders, collections, field reps or multi-warehouse dispatch, Shopify becomes one channel among many. Stock needs to be owned by the operating system that sees every order source.
- Marketplace orders can update Shopify late, creating oversell windows
- B2B portal, rep app and cash-and-carry orders sit outside Shopify's native flow
- Shopify apps often solve one channel at a time, not the whole operation
- Multi-location and buffer rules become hard to reason about at volume
- Warehouse teams still need a dispatch-first view, not a storefront admin
Use Shopify as the storefront and MaxInvent as the stock master
MaxInvent imports Shopify products and orders, maps variants to internal SKUs, and pushes live stock decisions back to Shopify while also updating marketplaces and dispatch workflows.
- Two-way Shopify order and stock sync
- Variant-to-SKU mapping into the same stock pool as marketplaces
- Multi-location stock and buffers managed centrally
- Shopify orders join the same pick, pack, courier and returns workflows
- B2B portal and counter orders reserve stock before Shopify oversells it
Capabilities
What you get with Shopify Integration
Shopify order import
Pull Shopify orders into the same operational order book as Amazon, eBay, TikTok Shop, Temu and B2B portal orders.
Live stock push
Update Shopify stock from the MaxInvent ledger whenever marketplace orders, returns, transfers or counter sales change availability.
Variant and SKU mapping
Map Shopify variants to internal SKUs so bundles, barcodes and marketplace listings all reference the same product record.
Multi-location control
Use MaxInvent warehouse logic to decide what Shopify can sell, what marketplaces can sell, and what stock stays reserved.
Dispatch-first workflow
Shopify orders flow into pick, pack, label, split, courier selection and returns without a separate fulfilment spreadsheet.

Keep operational inventory and order data in AWS London with isolated customer databases and audit trails.
Built-in automation

FAQ
Frequently asked
- Does MaxInvent replace Shopify? +
- No. Shopify remains your storefront, theme, checkout and product-content surface. MaxInvent becomes the operational layer for stock, order routing, dispatch, B2B orders and marketplace stock decisions.
- Can Shopify and marketplaces share one stock pool? +
- Yes. MaxInvent maps Shopify variants and marketplace listings to the same internal SKU so every channel sees a controlled availability number rather than its own disconnected stock count.
- What happens to Shopify POS or retail stock? +
- Shopify POS can be treated as another stock-changing source. During onboarding we map your Shopify locations to MaxInvent warehouses or buffers so POS, warehouse and marketplace stock do not fight each other.
