E-Commerce Order Sync — Shopify to 3PL to ERP

Role: Integration DeveloperPlatform: Workato
Industry: Retail / Consumer GoodsDuration: ~6 Months

Overview

Built Workato recipes to automate order flow from a Shopify storefront to a third-party logistics provider and back-office ERP, replacing a daily manual export/import process.

What I Built

  • Real-time Shopify webhook ingestion pipeline handling new order and cancellation events
  • 3PL order payload dispatch via REST API with bundle item disassembly and SKU mapping
  • Fulfillment status and courier tracking number writeback to Shopify customer accounts
  • ERP sales order and deferred revenue record generation aligned with financial ledgers
  • Automated refund, RMA, and cancellation handling coordinated across all three endpoints

Architecture

Engineered recipes with persistent idempotency caching keys to manage Shopify’s at-least-once webhook delivery model. This prevented duplicate order creation at the 3PL and financial discrepancies in the ERP during network retries or transient endpoint failures.

Tech Stack

Outcome: Eliminated daily manual order processing. Order-to-3PL transmission time reduced from next-day to under 5 minutes.

I’m currently open to senior integration architecture roles — both full-time and contract engagements — with a preference for remote work. If you’re evaluating integration talent or building out an iPaaS practice, I’d welcome the conversation.
