How to Integrate NetSuite with Shopify, Salesforce, and More?

To deliver exceptional customer experiences, companies need unified data and processes across the various systems handling ecommerce, marketing, sales, finance, and operations. Siloed applications lead to fractured data, limited visibility, and broken workflows.
Integrating platforms like NetSuite ERP, Shopify, and Salesforce provides complete visibility. This facilitates better-informed decisions to accelerate revenue growth.
Benefits of Integrating NetSuite
Here are some major advantages you can expect from integrating NetSuite with surrounding systems:
360-Degree Customer View
By syncing NetSuite with your CRM, ecommerce, marketing, and support systems, you gain a single unified view of each customer. This consolidates all their profile data, purchase history, web activity, communication records, and other information otherwise trapped in separate applications. The comprehensive view equips sales and service teams to deliver hyper-personalized engagements.
Smooth Handoffs Between Systems
Well-integrated systems eliminate disjointed handoffs between platforms. Examples include surfacing NetSuite order data in Shopify to notify customers of order status changes. Or piping closed CRM opportunities into NetSuite to trigger automated order-to-cash workflows. Smoother handoffs like these boost efficiency.
Real-Time Data Syncing
Manually transferring data between systems introduces delays plus potential for human error from typing inaccuracies. Automated syncing ensures changes in one system surface in the others immediately upon saving. This real-time consistency reduces latency while powering up-to-date reporting.
Error Reduction
Entering the same transactions or customer records across multiple pieces of software predictably leads to mismatched data, which breeds reporting errors and audit issues. Eliminating overlapping data entry through integration alleviates these inaccuracies.
Scalability
As your business grows, keeping an array of separate systems in sync via manual processes proves increasingly burdensome. Integration layer handles data flows behind the scenes even as transactions scale to millions.
With the benefits clear, let’s explore key capabilities for connecting NetSuite with major platforms.
Shopify-NetSuite Integration
The Shopify-NetSuite connector from Celigo synchronizes data between the two platforms bi-directionally. This allows flexible implementation of either Shopify or NetSuite as the “system of record” across customer, order, and inventory data points.
Key features include:
- Automatic syncing of customers, orders, item catalog, pricing tiers
- Flexibility around whether Shopify or NetSuite houses master record
- Error handling and logging
- Near real-time bi-directional data flows
- Inventory management and order processing from single source of truth
- Seamless workflows from online purchase to fulfillment/accounting
For a shopify-centric merchant, using their native tools supplemented by automatic syncing of transactions and inventory into back-end financial and operational processes in NetSuite allows efficiently supporting rapid ecommerce growth.
Conversely, businesses leveraging NetSuite as the central platform use the connector to expose their order/item data out to Shopify to rapidly launch a polished customer ecommerce portal.
Salesforce-NetSuite Integration
Celigo also offers intelligent synchronization between Salesforce CRM and NetSuite ERP with robust pre-built integration. Bidirectional sync across accounts, contacts, leads, opportunities, orders, items, prices, and other records streamlines workflows.
Highlights include:
- Automatic syncing of leads, accounts, contacts, opportunities
- Order and payment orchestration from Salesforce to NetSuite
- Error logs for troubleshooting
- Conflict prevention rules
- Data replication every few minutes
This empowers sales teams to seamlessly convert CRM opportunities into realized revenue thanks to automated order-to-cash processes in NetSuite kicked off immediately upon closing a deal. Shared access to accurate, real-time customer and order data between sales and finance prevents delays, confusion, and errors that hurt customer satisfaction.
Magento-NetSuite Integration
For sophisticated online sellers, orchestrating the entire process from purchase to fulfillment to payment reconciliation requires connecting Magento’s advanced ecommerce platform into NetSuite’s back-office financial and inventory capabilities.
The Striker Magento-NetSuite connector features:
- Real-time synchronization for customers, orders, shipping status
- Inventory management across locations
- Reliable order processing
- Flexible deployment models
- Comprehensive sync logs
Mid-market and enterprise merchants reap major dividends from the unified experience bridging their customer-facing storefronts with streamlined workflows for order orchestration, inventory and warehousing, billing and payment, plus accounting.
Zendesk-NetSuite Integration
Providing exceptional customer service merits combining the capabilities of Zendesk’s help desk platform and NetSuite’s order/inventory management.
The SuiteSync solution connects the two environments enabling capabilities like:
- Automatic creation of Zendesk tickets from NetSuite records
- Sync support communications back into NetSuite records
- Associate tickets, calls, chats based on shared accounts/contacts
- Append order data like SKUs and statuses into tickets
- Single unified interface for agents
With integrated Zendesk-NetSuite customer service operation, agents deliver smarter, faster resolutions thanks to unified context about orders, shipments, returns, or exchanges right at their fingertips. They can also view the entire cross-channel support history across tickets, calls, and chats in the same system alongside transaction records for complete context.
