Why teams connect Infor M3 and Shopify

Close the gap between front office and back office: Shopify and Infor M3 share customers and status in real time, in both directions.

Shopify holds the customer relationship; Infor M3 runs the operations and records behind the business. The two overlap wherever the same organizations and transactions matter to both, and when that overlap is bridged by re-keying or overnight batch, each side spends the day working from stale data.

Stacksync syncs Abandoned Checkouts, Products, ProductMedias, ProductVariants in Shopify with Customer Orders, Purchase Orders, Manufacturing Orders, Inventory Balances in Infor M3 field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror the product catalog from a PIM or database into Shopify products, variants, and metafields.
  • 02 Sync orders, customers, and inventory into Postgres for operational reporting across stores.
  • 03 Consolidate M3 transactional data into an analytics database for cross-plant reporting
  • 04 Sync M3 item master and inventory balances to commerce or CPQ systems so quotes price against live stock
