  • 1.  Shopify Site to Sage 100

    Posted 06-05-2020 14:52
    I have a customer on Sage 100 Premium 2018. They use CIMcloud for their B2B website and are investigating options for B2C. They have a friend who recommended Shopify however they are a little surprised/shocked at the cost.

    Do you have anyone who you've worked with on Shopify to Sage 100 integration? 

    I think I'm going to need two people
    1. Web design/Shopify/SEO, etc (due to this being consumer-facing)
    2. Data sync to Shopify ( which I'm thinking is ROI?)

    I have a customer using brandlabs.us for Shopify design and consulting and they have been happy with them. 

    I have had Sage 100 / Shopify integration demos with True Commerce and with ROI.

    Be careful with the integration of Shopify with Sage 100.  Be very specific determining the customer expectations when selecting an integration.  Require any company prove the integration of Shopify to Sage 100 for all integration points.

    Here's an example of potential sticking points that should be thoroughly researched:

    • Multiple pricing levels for the same item code.
    • If an item code has different prices for different customers (price override). 
    • Automatically updating pricing for price levels/individual customers.  ie updating Shopify prices when prices change in Sage 100.

    Other factors to consider:
    Credit card and/or payment processing, i.e. fully paid or pre/post auth, payment amount used on backorders
    Freight charges (pro-rated for backorders or fully invoiced on short-shipment)
    RMA processing
    If exploded Kits or BOMs, availability based on all components
    Sales tax implications with/without Avatax
    Depending on Shopify service level, integration options may be limited

    I would encourage them to broaden their search beyond Shopify. In b2c the considerations are different from b2b, and I know Shopify has some issues. b2c sites have a premium on marketing elements, fast and easy search, flexible cart management, etc. The features that make cimcloud relevant in b2b don't play as much.

    BigCommerce.com has made big inroads playing against Shopify and Magento. Your customer should at least listen to the reps from other the firms for their compare/contrast pitches against Shopify. 

    Have they had a serious discussion about this need with cimcloud? If b2c is secondary, this might well be a better approach.

    Integrating to Sage is a consideration, but IMO, secondary ROI Consulting does both Magento and Shopify. Certipro has a significant focus on Magento-Sage 100 integration.
