Shopify Odoo Integration
Nventory syncs products, variants, images, pricing, and inventory levels between Shopify and Odoo. Orders from Shopify are imported into Nventory's dashboard for centralized fulfillment management.

Good to Know
Platform restrictions outside any integration tool's control
Customer databases cannot be synced between ecommerce platforms and ERP systems through Nventory
Nventory does not create or sync invoices, sales orders, or financial transactions in Odoo. Order data is available in Nventory's dashboard but does not push to your ERP
The integration's inventory capabilities depend on which Odoo modules are installed. Multi-warehouse sync requires the Inventory module. Stores running only Odoo Accounting will not benefit from advanced inventory features.
Self-hosted Odoo instances on underpowered servers can experience slow API responses and timeouts during sync. Stores with large product catalogs may need to ensure their Odoo hosting meets minimum resource requirements for reliable API throughput.
Odoo releases a new major version annually (16.0, 17.0, 18.0). Custom modules and third-party apps may not be immediately compatible with the latest version. The integration supports current and recent Odoo versions, but heavily customized instances on older versions may require adaptation.
Things to Consider
Platform-specific details and how they affect this integration.
Shopify and Odoo may have overlapping but inconsistent product records. SKU naming conventions, product titles, and variant structures can differ between the two systems. Odoo's product template and variant model differs from Shopify's product/variant hierarchy, requiring careful mapping.
Nventory matches products between Shopify and Odoo using SKU as the primary identifier. When no match is found, a new product record is created in the target system. Shopify variants map to Odoo product variants with attributes preserved. You can review and map products manually before enabling automatic sync.
Who Uses Shopify Odoo Integration
Common scenarios for connecting Shopify and Odoo.
How It Works
Nventory sits between your platforms and keeps everything in sync.
Connect Shopify & Odoo
Authenticate your Shopify store and Odoo instance (Community or Enterprise, cloud or self-hosted). Nventory detects your installed Odoo modules and product catalog.
Map Products Between Shopify and Odoo
Nventory matches Shopify products to Odoo product records by SKU. Configure variant mapping and assign Odoo warehouses for inventory sync.
Sync Products & Inventory Levels
Nventory syncs product details and inventory quantities bidirectionally between Shopify and Odoo. Stock changes from sales, receipts, and manual adjustments are reflected across both platforms through Nventory.
Manage Orders in Nventory
Shopify orders appear in Nventory's centralized dashboard for fulfillment tracking. Order data stays in Nventory and is not pushed to Odoo as financial transactions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The integration works with both Odoo Community Edition (free) and Odoo Enterprise. It uses Odoo's XML-RPC or JSON-RPC API, which is available in both editions.
No. Nventory does not create invoices, sales orders, or financial transactions in Odoo. Shopify orders are imported into Nventory's dashboard for fulfillment management. For Odoo's full order-to-cash workflow, a separate ERP connector is needed.
No. Customer record syncing is not available through Nventory. Products, inventory levels, and order visibility are the focus of this integration.
Yes. Inventory changes in Odoo (from purchase receipts, transfers, or manual adjustments) update Shopify stock levels, and Shopify sales decrement Odoo inventory.
Yes. Nventory connects to self-hosted Odoo instances as well as Odoo.sh (cloud). You provide the URL, database name, and API credentials during setup.
Odoo uses a product template and variant structure that differs from Shopify's flat variant model, so verify that attribute values (size, color) match exactly between both systems. Check that Odoo product templates have the correct attribute lines configured, and if you sync BOMs, ensure the component SKUs exist in both platforms before enabling variant sync.
Start by checking Odoo's journal entry validation rules, as strict fiscal position mappings or missing account codes will silently block entry creation. Confirm that your Odoo fiscal positions are correctly assigned to the relevant tax regions, and verify that all required account codes in your Odoo chart of accounts are active and properly linked to the product categories being synced.
