Technical Integration Details: Magento & Shopify

Our iPaaS provides a robust, secure, and scalable framework for connecting Magento and Shopify, leveraging their native APIs and webhooks for optimal performance. This section outlines the core technical aspects of the integration.

Data Flow Steps

Authentication & Connection: Securely establish API connections using OAuth 1.0a/Bearer tokens for Magento and OAuth 2.0/API keys for Shopify, managed by the iPaaS credential vault.

Event Listener Setup: Configure webhooks in both Magento and Shopify (e.g., `orders/create`, `products/update`) to trigger real-time integration workflows.

Data Ingestion & Extraction: iPaaS acts as the central hub, pulling data from and pushing data to both platforms using their respective REST/GraphQL APIs.

Data Transformation & Harmonization: Utilize the iPaaS's visual mapping and transformation engine to align disparate data schemas (e.g., Magento attributes to Shopify metafields, status codes).

Business Logic Orchestration: Implement conditional logic, routing rules, and data enrichment steps within the iPaaS workflow designer.

Error Handling & Monitoring: Configure retry mechanisms, dead-letter queues, and automated alerts for robust error management.

Deployment & Governance: Deploy integrations through Dev-QA-Prod pipelines with version control and centralized monitoring.

Data Touchpoints

Magento: Orders, Customers, Products, Inventory (Stock Item), Shipments, Invoices, Credit Memos, Carts, Categories, Addresses, Payment Transactions.
Shopify: Orders, Customers, Products, Product Variants, Inventory Levels, Fulfillments, Refunds, Webhook Events, Locations, Payment Transactions.

"Data flow initiates from either Magento or Shopify via webhooks for real-time events. The iPaaS ingests the data, applies AI-assisted transformations and business logic, then routes and pushes the harmonized data to the target system (the other eCommerce platform, ERP, CRM, or WMS). For less time-sensitive data, scheduled batch syncs are also employed. Error handling, logging, and monitoring are integral at every step."

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Data Mapping for Magento-Shopify Integration

Effective integration hinges on precise data mapping and transformation between Magento's flexible entity structure and Shopify's streamlined approach. Our iPaaS facilitates this by providing visual tools and AI assistance to harmonize these critical eCommerce entities.

Order

The core sales transaction. Synchronizing orders ensures all purchases are captured, processed, and tracked accurately across systems.

Magento Fields

order_id (Magento ID) increment_id (Order Number) customer_id status grand_total items[] (SKU, qty, price) billing_address shipping_address payment created_at

Shopify Fields

id (Shopify ID) order_number customer_id financial_status fulfillment_status total_price line_items[] (SKU, quantity, price) shipping_address billing_address created_at tags

Mapping Notes

Magento `status` maps to Shopify `financialstatus` and `fulfillmentstatus`. Line item mapping requires SKU and quantity consistency. Custom order attributes in Magento may map to Shopify `tags` or `metafields`. Payment details are typically tokenized and passed via references.
