Shopify to Sage 200: order and invoice automation at 1,400 orders a week

Shopify Admin APISage 200Webhooks
The problem

A finance team of three exported Shopify orders twice a day and re-keyed them into Sage. Errors in VAT treatment on mixed baskets were being found weeks later, and month-end took three days of reconciliation.

What we built

A webhook-driven flow that raises a correctly coded sales invoice in Sage within seconds of payment, handling mixed VAT rates, discounts, gift cards, refunds and payment provider fees. Failed postings are queued and alerted rather than dropped.

Result
3 days → 4 hrs Month-end close
1,400/wk Orders posted automatically
0 Manual re-keying

“The reconciliation work that used to define our month-end simply stopped existing.”

Courier integration replacing manual label creation across two brands

ShopifyRoyal MailDPDMintsoft
The problem

Warehouse staff copied addresses into two separate courier portals and chose services by eye, producing mis-shipped parcels and no tracking data back in Shopify.

What we built

Service-selection rules by weight, value and destination, automated label and manifest generation from order data, and tracking numbers written back to the Shopify order so customer notifications fire without intervention.

Result
11 sec Average time per despatch
100% Orders with tracking
2 brands On one rule set

“Peak season stopped requiring temporary staff just to print labels.”
