Shopify Integrations with Fishbowl
Since 2014, we’ve been creating custom integrations between Shopify and Fishbowl that go far beyond just moving the data between the two systems and address the important underlying business processes.
Shopify is one of the most popular and robust e-commerce platforms. It’s an all-in-one platform that covers online and in-person retail as well as B2B sales, allowing for both targeted local and expansive global outreach. Shopify's rich API allows for the creation of highly customizable Shopify Integrations with Fishbowl.
Integrating an E-Commerce platform with Fishbowl can be broken down into three main business processes: sales, operations, and finance.
Sales
For sales, common features that many businesses are looking
to implement include ability to update orders after they have been created in the source system, handling partial payments, splitting one Ecommerce order into many orders in Fishbowl, or combining multiple Shopify orders into one order in Fishbowl. Often, it’s also required to have some logic for sales order
items, when they’re not mapped directly, but either split, combined, modified, etc. For example, Bill of Materials can be used to create Fishbowl sales orders based on Ecommerce order.
Operations
In regard to operations, common Shopify integration questions to answer are:
Is there a need for an RMA Process?
What additional information is needed to pick and ship orders?
What shipment tracking information needs to go back to Shopify from Fishbowl?
How is Order Priority being handled?
Is there a particular logic for assigning stock to Orders?
What kind of logic needs to be implemented to make sure that the orders are
validated prior to importing them into Fishbowl for the purpose of Fraud Prevention?
Finance
Features that are related to Finance and accurate accounting of profitability include:
for accurate PNL by brand.
Sales Rep Assignments, possibility of split sales reps.
Shipping Calculations after the order has been placed.
Properly reflecting the business processes drives the correct Shopify to Fishbowl integration Flows, such as Order Downloads, Inventory and Product Pricing Updates, Shipment Tracking Writeback, RMA and Return handling, and many more.
