METRO Markets to Shopify Plus
Marketplace orders
Bring METRO orders into Shopify so fulfilment, customer-service and operations teams can work with marketplace sales from the same ecommerce environment as your other orders.
METRO sales, operated from Shopify
METRO Markets + Shopify Plus integration
Bring METRO marketplace orders into Shopify and keep the channel connected to the fulfilment and inventory work your team already manages there. Synchron returns shipment progress to METRO and keeps marketplace availability tied to the Shopify stock that actually serves the channel.
- Bring METRO orders into Shopify Plus
- Send fulfilment and tracking updates back
- Use the right Shopify locations for marketplace stock
One Shopify operation behind the marketplace
Make METRO orders part of the commerce workflow your team already runs
A METRO order should not force your team into a second operational workflow. Synchron brings marketplace demand into Shopify, lets fulfilment continue through the store processes already in place, and carries the resulting shipment and inventory changes back to METRO. The connection can also respect the warehouse structure behind your Shopify operation instead of assuming every location serves the marketplace in the same way.
Shopify Plus teams can use the proven Shopify workflow model behind this connection.
Connected workflows
Connect the order, shipment and stock decisions behind every METRO sale
Synchron links marketplace demand with the Shopify fulfilment and inventory activity that determines what happens next.

Fulfilment & tracking
Ship through Shopify and return the relevant fulfilment, carrier and tracking information to METRO, including orders that leave your operation in more than one shipment.

Inventory
Use Shopify inventory to keep METRO availability current, with marketplace stock based on the warehouses or stock pools that genuinely support your fulfilment model.
How it works
From a METRO order to the Shopify fulfilment flow behind it
The integration is designed to let METRO behave like another sales channel feeding the Shopify operation your team already knows.
- Step 1
The order starts on METRO
Synchron brings the marketplace sale into Shopify with the customer and product context your team needs to begin processing it.
- Step 2
Shopify becomes the working order
Warehouse, fulfilment and customer-service teams can continue using the Shopify processes and connected tools already in place.
- Step 3
Each shipment can update the marketplace
As the order is fulfilled, the relevant shipment and tracking information can flow back to METRO so the marketplace reflects what actually left the warehouse.
- Step 4
Inventory prepares the next sale
Changes in Shopify stock can feed marketplace availability so future METRO orders are based on a more current view of what your operation can fulfil.
Operational visibility
Keep METRO automation visible across orders, warehouses and stock
Orders, fulfilments and inventory changes may move automatically, but operations teams still need to understand the hand-offs when something needs attention. Synchron provides an operational view across the connection instead of leaving those exchanges hidden between the two platforms.
-
Follow marketplace orders into Shopify
Keep the relationship between the original METRO sale and the Shopify order visible as the order enters your internal operation.
-
See fulfilment and inventory updates going back
Review the marketplace activity produced by Shopify shipments and stock changes rather than relying on an invisible background connection.
-
Investigate exceptions with context
When an order, shipment or stock update needs review, your team has a clearer operational trail from which to understand what happened.
Why Synchron.io
Fit METRO around the Shopify operation you already have
The useful connection is not just an order importer. It is the one that respects how your Shopify business actually fulfils marketplace sales and manages stock across locations.
Keep Shopify as the working commerce system
Bring marketplace demand into the same environment where your team already coordinates orders, fulfilment, inventory and customer service.
Respect real warehouse boundaries
Keep METRO activity tied to the Shopify locations and stock pools that genuinely support marketplace fulfilment.
Handle multi-shipment orders naturally
Let marketplace tracking follow the fulfilment work happening in Shopify rather than forcing the warehouse into a simplified one-shipment model.
Reduce repeated Seller Office work
Remove routine re-entry around orders, tracking and stock so the team can focus on marketplace exceptions and customer needs.
Keep the integration understandable
Operational visibility helps teams see what moved between METRO and Shopify and where attention is needed when the normal flow is interrupted.
Connect METRO to the Shopify locations that really serve the marketplace
Many Shopify operations hold inventory across several warehouses, stores or fulfilment locations. Synchron can reflect that operational structure instead of treating every unit of Shopify stock as equally available to METRO.
Choose the fulfilment locations that matter
Keep marketplace shipment activity focused on the Shopify locations that actually handle METRO orders rather than every location in the account.
Use the right stock pool
Base METRO availability on the inventory your business genuinely makes available to the channel, whether that comes from selected locations or a shared fulfilment pool.
Keep warehouse structure out of the seller portal
Let Shopify remain the operational source for location-aware inventory decisions instead of reproducing warehouse logic manually inside METRO.
Keep split shipments aligned with the marketplace order
A single customer order does not always leave the warehouse in one parcel. The integration can follow the Shopify fulfilments behind the sale so METRO receives the shipment information relevant to the order lines that actually moved.
Fulfil the order in stages
Your team can continue using Shopify when different parts of a METRO order ship separately rather than waiting for every item to leave together.
Update only what has shipped
Marketplace delivery progress can follow the Shopify fulfilment itself, keeping shipment updates closer to what the warehouse actually completed.
Give buyers clearer delivery information
Tracking can stay connected to the relevant shipment instead of reducing a multi-parcel order to one generic marketplace status.
Questions, answered
Plan the METRO connection around your Shopify fulfilment model
Shopify Plus keeps its own public identity here, while the connected workflows follow the verified Shopify integration model described on this page.
Your Shopify warehouse setup is more complex?
Tell us how orders, fulfilment locations and inventory are organised today. We can discuss how the METRO connection should fit around the way your operation actually ships.
Can METRO orders be imported into Shopify?
Yes. Synchron can bring eligible METRO orders into Shopify so your team can process marketplace sales through the same ecommerce, fulfilment and customer-service environment used for the rest of your operation.
Can Shopify tracking information be sent back to METRO?
Yes. When a linked METRO order is fulfilled in Shopify, shipment, carrier and tracking information can be returned to the marketplace so delivery progress stays aligned.
What if a METRO order is shipped in more than one Shopify fulfilment?
The integration can follow the relevant Shopify fulfilments and update the marketplace order lines that were actually shipped, which makes split or staged fulfilment easier to reflect accurately.
Can Shopify inventory update METRO availability?
Yes. Shopify can act as the operational inventory source for METRO so marketplace quantities follow stock changes in the ecommerce operation.
Can only selected Shopify locations contribute METRO stock?
Yes. The stock flow can be shaped around the Shopify locations that genuinely serve METRO, which is useful when different warehouses support different channels or fulfilment models.
Can stock from several Shopify locations be combined for METRO?
Yes, when those locations genuinely operate as one fulfilment-ready stock pool. The marketplace inventory model should reflect how orders can actually be fulfilled rather than simply adding every quantity together.
How are METRO order lines connected to Shopify products?
The two catalogues need a dependable product reference in common. During setup, we review how METRO offers and Shopify variants identify the same products and configure the integration around the references that best fit your catalogue.
How do we monitor the METRO + Shopify integration?
Synchron provides operational visibility across order imports, fulfilment updates and inventory activity so your team can understand what moved between the systems and investigate anything that needs attention.
