Understanding the Shopify Sales Cycle
Before delving into the sync process, let us briefly review the key steps involved in the Shopify sales cycle:
- Customers browse the Shopify store, select Products, and proceed to Checkout. They provide shipping and payment information to complete the purchase.
- Once an order is placed, Shopify generates a Sales Order that captures relevant details, including customer information, ordered products, quantities, and shipping details.
- In some cases, businesses require customers to make down payments for their orders. A Down Payment Invoice is generated to initiate this process.
- Customers make payments for their orders, either in full or as per the agreed-upon down payment. These payments need to be recorded accurately for accounting purposes.

Sales Order Sync – Shopify SAP Business One Integration:
When a customer places an order on Shopify, APPSeCONNECT captures the sales order details and transfers them to SAP Business One.

By syncing this data, users can seamlessly process orders within SAP Business One for further processing and fulfillment.
Down Payment Invoice Integration – Shopify SAP Business One Integration:
For businesses that require customers to make down payments, APPSeCONNECT enables the automatic sync of A/R Down Payment invoices in SAP Business One. This sync is essential as it validates the Down Payment Invoice as an official document, allowing the customers the provision to claim/input tax deductions. This feature eliminates the need for manual intervention, ensuring a streamlined process from sales order placement to down payment initiation.
