<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nBefore getting into the setup steps, here is a quick overview of the most common sync scenarios:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inventory sync<\/strong> \u2014 When stock levels change in Odoo, MESA detects the update and pushes the new quantity to the matching Shopify product variant by SKU. This keeps your storefront accurate without anyone touching it manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOrder sync<\/strong> \u2014 When a new order is placed in Shopify, MESA sends the order and customer details to Odoo. This eliminates re-entry and gives your operations team a single source of truth for fulfillment.<\/p>\n\n\n\nProduct updates<\/strong> \u2014 Changes to product records in either system can be pushed to the other. Update a price in Odoo and have it reflected in Shopify, or manage product data from Shopify and keep Odoo current.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAll three scenarios use the same connection setup described below. Once your credentials are in place, you can activate any of these workflows independently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>How to connect Shopify to Odoo using MESA<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nTime needed: 10 to 15 minutes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nBefore you begin, make sure you have the Sales and Inventory modules active in Odoo, and inventory tracking enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Step 1: Start a new workflow and open the Odoo step<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIn MESA, create a new workflow and add Odoo as a step. You will be prompted to add a connection. This is where you enter your Odoo credentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Step 2: Locate your Odoo username and password<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nFrom your Odoo account, navigate to Settings<\/strong>, then General Settings<\/strong>, then Users<\/strong>, and click Manage Users<\/strong>. Select the user you want to connect with MESA, click the Actions<\/strong> gear icon, and choose Change Password<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf no password exists yet, create one and copy it. If a password already exists, copy the email address listed under User Login<\/strong> as your username and use the existing password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Step 3: Find your Odoo domain<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYour Odoo domain is the URL of your Odoo account. It will look like https:\/\/yourcompany.odoo.com<\/code>. Copy this and have it ready for the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf your Odoo database name is different from the domain itself, you will also need to enter it in the Database field. If the domain and database match, you can leave the Database field blank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Step 4: Enter your credentials in MESA<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nBack in MESA, paste your Username<\/strong>, Password<\/strong>, and Domain<\/strong> into the Odoo connection fields. Keep the domain URL without a trailing slash.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOnce saved, your Odoo connection is active and available to use in any workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Step 5: Click Retrieve Fields and configure your workflow<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nWith the connection in place, click the Retrieve Fields<\/strong> button inside your Odoo step to pull in the current fields from your Odoo account. If you update fields in Odoo later, return here and click Retrieve Fields again to refresh them.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFrom here, map the data fields you want to pass between the two systems and save your workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>How to sync Shopify inventory from Odoo<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nInventory sync is the most common use case for this integration and the one with the most direct impact on your storefront accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The workflow works by monitoring your Odoo inventory for changes and pushing updated quantities to matching Shopify product variants by SKU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Step 1: Set up Odoo inventory monitoring<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAdd an Odoo trigger to your workflow and configure it to watch the stock.quant<\/strong> entity. By default, this checks for updates every hour. You can adjust the frequency if your inventory moves quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOne requirement before activating: make sure the Reference<\/strong> field in Odoo stores the same SKU values as your Shopify product variants. The SKU match is how MESA knows which Shopify product to update.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen updating inventory quantities in Odoo, use the Quantity on Hand<\/strong> field inside the Sales module. That is the field the trigger monitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Step 2: Find the matching Shopify product by SKU<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAdd a Shopify step to your workflow that looks up the product variant using the SKU passed from Odoo. MESA takes the Reference value from the Odoo inventory record and searches Shopify for a variant with a matching SKU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Step 3: Update the Shopify inventory level<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAdd a final Shopify step to set the inventory level for the matched variant. Pass in the available quantity from Odoo and set it as the new stock count in Shopify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will need to confirm the correct Shopify location ID for this step. Find it in your Shopify admin under Settings<\/strong> then Locations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Step 4: Test and turn “On”<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nSave the workflow, run a test to confirm the sync works end to end, and then turn the workflow on. Once active, your Shopify inventory will update automatically whenever stock changes in Odoo.<\/p>\n\n\n\nReady to skip the manual setup?<\/strong> Use the pre-built template: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
