# Shopify Acumatica Integration: The Complete Guide for Distributors

> Shopify Acumatica integration connects a Shopify store to Acumatica ERP so orders, inventory, pricing, and financial data sync automatically, with Acumatica as the system of record. This guide covers what Acumatica's native Shopify connector handles, where it falls short for B2B needs like wholesale pricing and credit terms, and how distributors use Acumatica's REST API for real-time sync.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does Acumatica have a native integration with Shopify?

Yes, Acumatica publishes its own native Shopify connector through the Acumatica Marketplace and Shopify App Store, covering order, inventory, and financial sync for retail and point-of-sale selling patterns. It is not built around B2B-specific needs like wholesale price classes, credit terms, or multi-warehouse allocation, which is where a distributor typically needs additional integration work.

### What's the difference between Acumatica Distribution Edition and Commerce Edition for Shopify integration?

Distribution Edition is built around inventory depth, multi-warehouse allocation, and wholesale order management; Commerce Edition leans toward direct-to-consumer and retail selling patterns, which is also what the native Shopify connector is oriented around. A Distribution Edition operation needs an integration that respects that inventory and pricing depth rather than treating the ERP like a retail system.

### Can Shopify sync with Acumatica in real time?

Yes, using Acumatica's REST API directly rather than relying solely on the native connector's default sync schedule. Acumatica's API is relatively modern and well-documented compared to older mid-market ERPs, which makes real-time, event-driven sync more achievable to build reliably.

### Does Acumatica's licensing model affect how a Shopify integration is scoped?

Not directly in terms of the integration's technical scope, but Acumatica's consumption-based licensing (priced on resource usage rather than per named user) means a distributor can extend visibility into synced Shopify data to more of the team without the ERP licensing cost scaling with it.
