ERPNext Shopify Inventory Sync Explained (Why Most Integrations Fail Here)

Описание: One of the biggest architectural mistakes in integrations between ERPNext and Shopify is treating inventory as part of the product.

It is not.

In Shopify, products and inventory are two different systems. Products live under product APIs, while inventory is managed separately through inventory levels and location IDs. In ERPNext, inventory is managed through a stock ledger, with movements, reconciliations, and valuation rules.

When integrations confuse these two models, stock numbers drift, availability becomes unreliable, and businesses quickly lose trust in the system.

In this video, I explain:

📦 Why products and inventory are separate systems in Shopify
🏭 How Shopify location IDs must map to ERPNext warehouses
🧮 Why stock reconciliation is not the same as order delivery
🧠 How ERPNext stock ledgers differ from ecommerce stock models
⚠️ Why most ERPNext–Shopify integrations fail at inventory sync

This video is part of a deep technical series on building production-grade ERPNext Shopify integrations, based on real-world ecommerce and ERP behavior.
