We are looking to integrate Shopify with NetSuite. The options at the moment are using an app within Shopify or Mulesoft. Any feedback on specific apps? Any deficiencies or gotchas between the two systems? I have seen mentions in this channel of using Celigo for this purpose. While Celigo specifically isn't in scope for us, I imagine some of the challenges associated with data flows could be similar using other tools. Thanks for any feedback.

The NS connector for Shopify (ie FarApp) is supposedly a simple version compared to Celigo's version. With Mulesoft you basically build your own using templates. Either way, all of those use the Shopify REST API which you can access via SuiteScript. You just have to be familiar with the endpoints and the data structure of the JSON data from the each Shopify endpoint (orders, inventory, transactions, etc.)

Thanks. I had seen that Oracle NetSuite app as well as several others. We're weighing out the potential time savings of using a pre-built app vs the control of building our own connections using Mulesoft. We have the expertise to tackle the integration so it's more bandwidth constraints.

You can start with the FarApp connector for phase 1 and replace it later with your Mulesoft version. The FarApp connector is about $300/month and you can decide which data flows to turn on and off based on your needs.

Hi Ben - any reason why Celigo isn't in the scope for you? Celigo has a full iPaaS for building your own connection on top of being the most robust and popular prebuilt integration.

We have used various tools for integrations over the years, including Celigo. The company has decided to consolidate to Mulesoft.

Tell them to use the GraphQL api for Shopify. Every new feature lately is only released to it. I only foresee that continuing due to savings. (One product create can be up to 15 api posts (accounting for metafields and all), while that same GraphQL post is one).

Agree about GraphQL you need that if you use product meta fields in Shopify and/or International pricing

Hey Ben I work with MindCloud.co We could do this integration for you. We offer a managed service with our platform and provide fully custom flows.

Thanks for the comments on GraphQL. I'll bring that up.
