ERPNext for E-Commerce: one ERP for your store, orders and inventory
ERPNext for e-commerce brings orders, inventory, payments and accounting into one platform that acts as the single source of truth for your online business. Orders from Shopify, Amazon or your own website land in ERPNext as Sales Orders ready to pick, ship and invoice, so your team always knows what sold, what is left and what has been collected, without retyping data between systems.
It is built for online retailers and brands that sell on more than one channel: publishing and pricing products, reserving stock, fulfilling orders and handling returns, then measuring the profitability of every channel. Every sale, return and payment posts to the books the moment it happens.
Operion, an official Frappe ERPNext partner in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, delivers ERP for ecommerce end to end: channel integration, data migration, e-invoicing for Egypt's ETA and Saudi Arabia's ZATCA, team training and post-launch support.
One source of truth
Orders, stock, payments and accounts share one database instead of disconnected tools.
Channels synced automatically
Import orders from Shopify and Amazon and push stock levels back to your store on a schedule.
Accurate stock, fewer stockouts
Reserve stock for confirmed orders and trigger reorders when items hit their reorder level.
Clear profit per channel
Reports show revenue, cost of goods and margin for each sales channel.
E-commerce challenges ERPNext solves
As order volume and channels grow, spreadsheets and separate systems turn into a source of errors and delays.
ERPNext features for running an online store
Real ERPNext screens showing how the full online order cycle runs inside one system.
Import Shopify and Amazon orders automatically
The Ecommerce Integrations app pulls orders from Shopify and Amazon and creates a Sales Order in ERPNext for each one, creating the customer or item when it is missing. Orders from every channel appear in one list with their status, so your team sees what is waiting to ship or bill without switching dashboards.
- A Sales Order for every store or marketplace order
- Missing customers and items created automatically
- An integration log for every sync and its errors
- Filter orders by channel and status
Keep store stock in sync
Map Shopify locations to ERPNext warehouses and let the system push actual balances to your store at the frequency you choose. ERPNext stays the source of truth for inventory, shoppers see what is really available, and orders for out-of-stock products drop.
- Map each Shopify location to an ERPNext warehouse
- Push stock levels from ERPNext to the store on a schedule
- Company, account and price list defaults for imported orders
- Supports item variants such as size and color
Stock reservation and automatic reordering
Reserve quantities for confirmed Sales Orders so they are not shipped to another order, and track each item's projected quantity after reserved and on-order stock. When the balance drops below the reorder level, the system raises a Material Request for purchasing automatically.
- Reserve stock from the Sales Order or Pick List
- Projected qty = actual + ordered - reserved
- Automatic Material Requests at the reorder level
- A separate view for each fulfillment warehouse
Publish products to a built-in web store
With Frappe's Webshop app you publish any item to your website in one click and set its images, specifications and website warehouse, which decides whether it shows in or out of stock. The store adds a shopping cart, checkout, wishlist and reviews, a good fit for simple stores and B2B ordering portals.
- Publish to website from the Item screen
- Availability driven by the website warehouse balance
- Shopping cart with checkout or request for quotation
- Wishlist, reviews and product search
Seasonal promotions and discount codes
Create Pricing Rules that apply a discount or special price to an item or item group for a set period, and tie them to promotional coupon codes or gift cards. A Loyalty Program awards points customers can redeem later, keeping prices consistent and controlled across channels.
- Percentage, amount or fixed-rate discounts
- Buy-one-get-one style offers
- Coupon codes with a maximum use limit
- Customer loyalty points
Online payment links and settlement
Create a Payment Request from a Sales Order or invoice and email the customer an online payment link through your configured gateway; once paid, a Payment Entry settles the receivable. Marketplace and gateway payouts are matched to invoices with the Payment Reconciliation tool.
- Payment Request from the Sales Order or invoice
- Payment link through a Payment Gateway Account
- Payment Entry settles the receivable
- Local gateways connected through an Operion custom connector
Pick, pack, ship and track
A Pick List batches the items of several orders for picking in the warehouse, then a Delivery Note deducts the stock. The Shipment document records the carrier, AWB number and shipment status, so customer service always knows where each order is.
- Batched Pick Lists across orders
- Delivery Notes deduct stock instantly
- Shipment records with AWB number and carrier
- Kanban board for fulfillment stages
Returns and refunds linked to the invoice
Create a Credit Note from the original invoice in one click: returned quantities go back to the warehouse and revenue and tax are reversed, then the refund is paid out or kept as a credit balance for a future order. Every return stays linked to its original documents.
- Credit Note linked to the original invoice
- Returned quantities restocked automatically
- Revenue and tax reversed in the same entry
- Cash refund or customer credit balance
Profitability by sales channel
Assign each channel's customers to a customer group or accounting dimension, then run the Gross Profit report to see each channel's revenue, cost of goods and margin. Marketplace fees and shipping costs post to their own accounts, giving the P&L a clear picture of e-commerce profitability.
- Gross profit by channel, item or invoice
- Accounting dimensions for revenue and expense analysis
- Marketplace fees in dedicated accounts
- Customizable dashboards and charts
The online order cycle, from storefront to the books
Every order follows a clear path in ERPNext, and each step updates stock and accounts automatically.
- Order receivedOrder received
- Stock reservedStock reserved
- Pick and packPick and pack
- Ship and trackShip and track
- Invoice and collectInvoice and collect
- Channel analysisChannel analysis

How Operion implements ERPNext for your online store
A team of 10 Frappe School certified experts runs the project with a clear method, from analysis to after go-live.
Channel analysis and integration
We map your sales channels and order flow, then install the right integration apps or build a custom connector on the REST API for your platform or local payment gateway.
Data migration
We move items, variants, customers and opening balances from your old systems and match them to your store IDs.
E-invoicing and localization
We connect ERPNext to ETA in Egypt and ZATCA in Saudi Arabia and set up taxes and bilingual print formats.
Training, support and hosting
Training for sales, warehouse and finance teams, post-launch support, and hosting on Frappe Cloud or your own servers, plus the Smart Go app to follow the business from your phone.
Shopify, Amazon and Unicommerce connectors come from Frappe's separate Ecommerce Integrations app, WooCommerce is connected through a Frappe Marketplace connector or a custom connector, and the built-in web store requires the Webshop app since version 15. Operion installs the ones you need and verifies compatibility.

Frequently asked questions
Didn’t find your answer? Our team replies within one business day.
Does ERPNext integrate with Shopify?
Yes. Frappe's Ecommerce Integrations app pulls Shopify orders and creates Sales Orders in ERPNext, creating the customer or item if it is missing. It can also push stock levels from ERPNext warehouses to Shopify locations at a frequency you set.
Can ERPNext connect to WooCommerce?
Yes. The old built-in integration was deprecated in version 15; today the link runs through the WooCommerce Connector app on Frappe Marketplace or a custom connector Operion builds on the REST API, syncing items, stock, customers, orders and payments.
Does ERPNext support selling on Amazon?
Yes. The Amazon SP-API connector in the Ecommerce Integrations app pulls products and Sales Orders from Amazon, maps ASIN and Seller SKU to ERPNext items, and uses an account group for Amazon fees and taxes.
How does ERPNext prevent overselling?
ERPNext keeps the actual balance of every warehouse, lets you reserve stock for confirmed Sales Orders and pushes balances to the connected store on a schedule. It can also raise Material Requests automatically when an item reaches its reorder level.
Can I build an online store directly in ERPNext?
Yes, with Frappe's Webshop app, which adds product publishing, shopping cart, checkout, wishlist and reviews. Operion recommends it for simple stores or B2B ordering portals, and a dedicated storefront platform connected to ERPNext for large stores.
Does it support e-invoicing in Egypt and Saudi Arabia?
Yes. Operion connects ERPNext to the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA) e-invoicing system and to ZATCA in Saudi Arabia, so every invoice issued from the system meets tax requirements.
How long does an e-commerce ERP implementation take?
It depends on your company size and the number of channels and modules, but it typically takes 8 to 16 weeks, covering analysis, setup, data migration, training and go-live.
Is my data secure, and can I use the system on my phone?
Data is hosted on Frappe Cloud or your own servers with backups, encrypted connections (SSL/TLS) and fine-grained user permissions. The interface is responsive in Arabic and English on desktop, tablet and phone, and Operion's Smart Go app adds a dedicated mobile experience.
