ERPNext vs Shopify Data Conflicts (Who Wins When Both Systems Change Data?)

Описание: In any serious integration between ERPNext and Shopify, data conflicts are unavoidable.

A product price may be updated in ERPNext while, at the same time, a description or variant is edited in Shopify. When both systems send updates, the integration must make a deterministic decision about which system wins.

If this decision is not explicitly designed, the result is random overwrites, inconsistent data, and an integration that feels unreliable to users.

In this video, I explain:

⚖️ Why data conflicts are inevitable in ERPNext–Shopify integrations
🧠 Why timing-based updates lead to random overwrites
⏱️ How timestamps should be used to resolve conflicts deterministically
🏗️ How professional integrations define system authority
⚠️ Why missing conflict rules make integrations feel “buggy”

This video is part of a deep technical series on building production-grade ERPNext Shopify integrations, based on real implementation experience in live business environments.

If you are:

🛒 Syncing products, prices, or customers between Shopify and ERPNext
🧩 Building or maintaining a custom ERPNext Shopify integration
📉 Seeing data unexpectedly revert or overwrite

this video explains why it happens and how it should be solved correctly.
