Integration overview

How Virtualstock and Shopify Plus work together

This integration keeps Virtualstock and Shopify in sync so that orders from retail partners flow smoothly into your Shopify back office, and fulfilment and stock changes in Shopify are reflected back in Virtualstock. It removes the need to retype information between the two systems and reduces the risk of mistakes.

It connects Virtualstock (where you receive orders from retailers) with Shopify (your ecommerce or fulfilment platform). Virtualstock orders can be turned into Shopify orders ready for picking and packing, while Shopify shipments, invoices and inventory changes are pushed back to Virtualstock.

This is designed for retailers and brands who work with Virtualstock to exchange orders and stock with their retail partners, and who operate Shopify as their main order and stock management hub. It helps consolidate partner orders with direct ecommerce sales, support higher order volumes, and keep partners informed about dispatches and available stock.

  • You want stock adjustments, returns, and cycle counts in Shopify to be reflected automatically in Virtualstock.
  • You have products where Shopify SKUs do not match Virtualstock identifiers and need a mapping table to keep stock consistent.
