Shopify: are all your orders visible?

A change behind the scenes

Shopify announced on October 19 a change in the way links select recent data. For some links it is therefore necessary to check whether all new orders are still being collected.

That is something we must take into account when maintaining a clutch. For you as an entrepreneur, the outcome is especially important: do the orders in your WebApp match what happens in your webshop?

What does this mean for your daily work?

Suppose your webshop receives orders, but your inventory planning misses one. Then you look at a different picture than what was actually sold. The same applies to your turnover overview or the list of orders that still have to be sent.

That is why when we link, we also check whether the orders received correspond with the webshop. This way you can notice a difference before you continue working based on incomplete figures.

Trust the numbers in your WebApp

Shopify also describes that automatic notifications are sometimes re-offered and that additional checks can help find missed updates. A coupling therefore requires maintenance, even if you hardly notice it yourself.

Within a modular WebApp, turnover, stock and purchasing use the same sales data. A good connection to your webshop helps these components work together.

Start with one clear overview

Do you want to know how your webshop and business software fit together? Start by comparing orders over one day. Are the same orders and quantities in both systems? This provides a concrete starting point for a conversation about your WebApp.
