We had a different kind of problem. People were visiting the store, adding products to their carts, and then disappearing before they finished the order. We had tried a few apps and made changes here and there, but nothing really seemed to solve the bigger issue. The team went through the shopping experience with us and pointed out things we hadn't really noticed ourselves. They cleaned up the cart and checkout flow, made the mobile experience much smoother, and helped us make the store feel easier to shop. I’m not going to pretend we fixed everything overnight, but it finally feels like the store is helping the sale instead of getting in the way of it.
Ethan Parker
Founder of Elite Academy
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
James Whitmore
Head of Marketing of Lumen Outdoor
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

07Work Culture
Why Businesses Trust Us With Integration Work
Getting the platform choice or monitoring wrong means recurring costs or silent failures, so the approach has to match your actual volume and risk. These are the habits we bring to every project.
Right tool for your volume
We recommend iPaaS, custom code, or a mix based on your actual volume and complexity, not a default answer.
Monitoring built in, not bolted on
Every integration ships with monitoring across infrastructure, data flow, and business outcomes, so failures get caught early.
No silent failures
Negative monitoring and severity-based alerting catch the sync that quietly stops working, not just the one that errors loudly.
Systems checked first
We map your existing stack before recommending anything, so you're not paying for integration work you don't need.
Tested before it's live
Sandbox testing with real order and inventory scenarios, including failure cases, before your live store is touched.
Built to be maintained
Documentation, version control, and an optional retainer so integrations stay reliable as your systems change.
08Overview
Who connects Shopify with ERP, 3PL, and marketplace systems for automated order operations?
DeveloperLook connects your Shopify store with your ERP, 3PL, marketplaces, and other systems so orders, inventory, and fulfillment sync automatically instead of manual data entry, choosing custom code or iPaaS based on your volume, and builds monitoring so failed syncs get caught before they cost revenue. Projects start from $1,999, most complete in 2 to 8 weeks, and we recommend starting with your highest-volume manual workflow first.

Who it's for
Stores running order ops manually
You or your team are still copying orders, inventory, or tracking data between systems by hand and want it automated.
Businesses connecting multiple systems
You need your store, ERP, 3PL, and marketplaces talking to each other instead of operating as separate silos.
Stores deciding between Zapier, iPaaS, and custom code
You're not sure whether an off-the-shelf automation tool covers your case or whether you need custom-built integration.
Businesses burned by silent integration failures
A sync failed without anyone noticing until it caused overselling, missed orders, or a customer complaint.
Stores scaling past what manual processes or basic apps handle
Your order or SKU volume has outgrown what a no-code automation tool or basic app can reliably do.
Not a fit for
You need a single specific integration, like just Klaviyo or just QuickBooks. Check our dedicated integration pages for that system, they're scoped and priced individually.
Your volume is under roughly 50 syncs a month and the workflows are simple. An off-the-shelf automation tool like Zapier or Make is usually the faster, cheaper path, and we'll tell you that upfront.
You want us to pick a platform for you without understanding your systems first. We assess your actual stack and volume before recommending iPaaS or custom code.
You need a customer-facing feature like a tracking page, bundles, or subscriptions rather than backend system integration. Our other Shopify services cover those specifically.
You're not on Shopify. Our integration work is Shopify and Shopify Plus specific.

12FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on ecommerce integration, automation strategy, and monitoring.
What is ecommerce automation?
It's connecting the systems you use to run your store, like your ERP, 3PL, and marketplaces, so orders, inventory, and fulfillment data move between them automatically instead of being copied by hand.
Which ecommerce workflows are worth automating first?
Usually whichever manual process costs the most time or creates the most risk, order entry into an ERP, inventory sync across marketplaces, or fulfillment status updates back to customers are common starting points.
What does ecommerce integration cost?
It depends heavily on scope and approach. iPaaS tools run as an ongoing subscription that scales with volume, while custom code is a larger upfront investment with lower ongoing cost. Our projects typically start from $1,999 and scale with the number of systems and complexity involved.
Can you connect my store, ERP, 3PL and marketplaces together?
Yes, that's the core of what we build, syncing orders, inventory, and fulfillment data across however many of these systems you run, whether through a single integration or several connected pieces.
Zapier, iPaaS or custom code: which should I use?
iPaaS tools make sense at lower volume with simple, standardized workflows since they get you running fast without engineering time. Custom code makes more sense once volume is high, your logic is more complex than a template connector supports, or the ongoing subscription cost outweighs a one-time build. We assess your actual case rather than defaulting to one answer.
How do you automate order routing and fulfillment?
We build logic that assigns each order to the right warehouse, 3PL, or fulfillment method based on rules like inventory location, shipping cost, or service level, so orders route automatically instead of someone deciding manually.
How do you monitor integrations so errors are caught early?
We monitor at three levels, infrastructure like API availability and queue depth, data flow like sync rates and error counts, and business outcomes like oversell events or stalled orders, with negative monitoring to catch a sync that silently stops rather than one that errors loudly.
How long does a typical integration project take?
A single, well-defined integration usually takes 2 to 4 weeks. Connecting multiple systems with custom routing logic and monitoring can take 6 to 8 weeks. You get a realistic timeline after we've reviewed your systems.
