Shopify Connect

Your Shopify store, run from Madata

One connection, and everything flows. Your catalogue goes out to the storefront, your orders come back as invoices. Nobody retypes a thing.

Only one thing to type: your store address.

  • Included from the TPE pack
  • No commission on your sales
  • Nothing to install on Shopify
Madata

How do you connect a Shopify store to your management software?

In Madata, the connection comes down to one address: your store's. You authorise Madata on Shopify with a single click, and that is it. Currency, stock location and order tracking are set up on their own. From then on everything flows both ways: your catalogue, prices, photos and quantities go out to the storefront, while your orders, customers and refunds come back into Madata with their invoice, their delivery note and their accounting entry. And if your store already holds products, Madata brings them into your catalogue instead of making you type them again.

How long does connecting take?

Three screens, one thing to type. No key to generate, no file to prepare, no IT person to call.

  1. 1

    You enter your store address

    mystore.myshopify.com, and nothing else.

  2. 2

    You authorise Madata on Shopify

    One screen, one click. The same gesture as installing an app on your phone.

  3. 3

    Everything falls into place

    The catalogue goes up to the storefront, orders start coming down. You watch it happen live.

Two-way synchronisation

What travels between Madata and your storefront?

Everything, both ways. And always the right way round: each side stays in charge of what it does best.

What a direct connection changes

One stock, every channel

The shop, the till and the online store draw from the same stock. No more item sold twice, no more online order you cannot fulfil.

The invoice follows the order

Every order arrives with its customer, its delivery, its invoice and its accounting entry, ready to confirm. Your accountant no longer waits for month end.

A price corrected once

You change a price or a photo in Madata, the storefront follows. No double entry, no file to re-import, no gap between the two.

You sell in dollars, you account in francs

The storefront keeps its currency, your books keep theirs. The conversion happens on its own, at the rate you decide.

Several stores, one workspace

One store per brand, per country or per language: they all connect to the same workspace, each with its own currency and stock.

Nothing to install, nothing to copy and paste

No app to hunt for in the Shopify App Store, no technical key to generate, no file to prepare.

Frequently asked questions

I already have products online, do I have to retype them all?

No. Madata reads your storefront and creates the missing records in your catalogue: name, photos, price converted into your currency, barcode and variants. You choose whether it creates them on its own, shows you each one first, or leaves everything alone.

Do I need to install an app from the Shopify App Store?

No. Shopify Connect is switched on from your Madata workspace and connects to your store through a plain authorisation link. There is nothing to look for in the Shopify App Store.

Who decides prices and the catalogue?

You do. A product you keep in Madata keeps being run from Madata. A product brought in from the storefront keeps being run from the storefront. Neither one overwrites the other.

What happens when a customer orders online?

The order comes down into Madata with its customer record, its delivery and its invoice. Stock is decremented once, whether the sale came from the site, the shop or the till.

Can several Shopify stores be connected?

Yes, as many as you need, on the same Madata workspace. Each one keeps its own currency, time zone and stock.

What if the connection drops mid-sync?

It picks up on its own where it left off. No duplicate orders, no distorted stock: it is built for that.

Is the module billed on top?

No. Shopify Connect is included from the TPE pack. You switch it on from the marketplace in your workspace, with no subscription supplement and no commission on your sales.

Your storefront and your books, finally in agreement

An online order becomes an invoice, a delivery and a stock movement. Without anyone retyping a thing.
