Businesses relying on NetSuite as their central ERPme Sync and Shopify POS for in-store transactions face a critical operational challenge: data fragmentation. Without a robust integration, information on inventory, customers, and sales remains siloed between these two essential systems. This disconnect leads to manual data entry, which is prone to errors, latency in order processing, and inventory discrepancies that result in stockouts or overselling [1]. Traditional solutions like custom-coded scripts or generic iPaaS platforms often fail to deliver the required performance, proving to be brittle, difficult to maintain, and incapable of true, real-time bi-directional synchronization.
Stacksync provides a purpose-built solution engineered to resolve these inefficiencies. It establishes a seamless, real-time, and bi-directional sync between NetSuite and Shopify POS, ensuring absolute data consistency across your entire operational landscape. By eliminating manual processes and data latency, Stacksync empowers businesses to unify their e-commerce and physical retail operations, enhance efficiency, and deliver a superior customer experience.
A unified NetSuite and Shopify POS system is the foundation of a modern omnichannel retail strategy. Stacksync makes this possible by ensuring data flows instantly and accurately between your online and physical stores.
Store Pick Up (BOPIS): Enable customers to purchase online and collect their orders at a physical store. Stacksync ensures that when an online order is placed for in-store pickup, inventory levels are immediately adjusted in both NetSuite and the Shopify POS location, preventing the item from being sold to an in-store customer.
Unified Loyalty Programs: Centralize customer loyalty data in NetSuite. Whether a customer earns points online or in-store, their profile is updated in real-time. This allows for consistent rewards and redemptions across all channels, fostering customer loyalty and increasing retention.
Consistent Customer View: Provide a seamless experience where customers can begin a purchase on one channel and complete it on another. Stacksync synchronizes customer data, order history, and cart information, ensuring a consistent and personalized journey regardless of the touchpoint.
Stacksync supports a comprehensive set of bi-directional data flows, ensuring that NetSuite remains the single source of truth while empowering your Shopify POS with accurate, real-time information.
Maintain perfect catalog consistency across your systems. Stacksync synchronizes product information from NetSuite to Shopify POS, including SKUs, descriptions, images, custom attributes, and complex pricing rules. Any update in NetSuite is instantly reflected at the point of sale, eliminating pricing errors and ensuring product information is always current.
Automate the entire order-to-cash lifecycle. When a transaction occurs on Shopify POS, Stacksync instantly creates the corresponding record in NetSuite. By default, POS orders are posted as cash sales for streamlined accounting [2]. If an order requires shipping, it is created as a sales order, triggering fulfillment workflows. This automation can significantly reduce order processing time, freeing up resources and accelerating fulfillment.
Build a unified, 360-degree view of your customers. Stacksync synchronizes customer data bi-directionally. New customers at the POS are created in NetSuite, and updates to existing customer records in either system are reflected in the other. This ensures that sales, marketing, and support teams all have access to the same complete and accurate customer information [3].
Ensure tax compliance with automated tax rate mapping. Stacksync synchronizes tax settings from NetSuite to Shopify POS, ensuring that the correct tax rates are applied to every transaction based on location and product type. This eliminates manual configuration and reduces the risk of compliance errors.
Preventing stockouts and overselling is one of the most critical functions of a NetSuite Shopify POS integration. Stacksync provides real-time, bi-directional inventory synchronization.
An in-store sale instantly decrements stock levels in NetSuite.
An online sale instantly decrements stock levels reflected at the POS.
Inventory receipts in NetSuite are immediately pushed to Shopify POS.
This level of accuracy ensures inventory data is reliable across all channels, which can help decrease inventory holding costs by optimizing stock levels.
Streamline financial closing processes by automatically importing payment data from Shopify POS into NetSuite. Stacksync maps payment methods and ensures that transactions are reconciled against the correct accounts, significantly reducing the manual effort required from your finance team.
Connecting NetSuite with Shopify POS via Stacksync delivers tangible benefits that drive efficiency, reliability, and growth.

While other methods exist to connect NetSuite with Shopify, they come with significant technical limitations.
Custom Code: Building a custom integration is resource-intensive, expensive to maintain, and brittle. It requires specialized developers and often breaks when either NetSuite or Shopify updates its API.
Generic iPaaS Platforms: These platforms are not purpose-built for the complexities of NetSuite and Shopify. They often require extensive configuration, struggle with real-time bi-directional sync, and introduce latency that undermines the goal of a unified system.
Basic Connectors: Many pre-built connectors offer only limited, one-way data pushes. They lack sophisticated error handling, conflict resolution, and the scalability needed for growing businesses [4].
