Sync Odoo and Shopify Product Catalogs and Orders

Odoo <-> Shopify Integration guides syncing a Shopify store with Odoo: product catalog, real-time inventory levels, incoming orders, and customer data - covering both the official Odoo Shopify connector (Enterprise) and a custom integration built on the Shopify REST API plus Odoo's XMLRPC API.

Use this when selling on Shopify while managing inventory in Odoo, automatically creating Odoo sales orders from Shopify purchases, keeping Odoo stock levels in sync with Shopify product availability, or mapping Shopify product variants to Odoo product templates.

The data flow: Shopify's product catalog and inventory levels sync down into Odoo product templates/variants and stock quants in real time; new Shopify orders push up to auto-confirmed Odoo sale orders; new Shopify customers push up to res.partner records, created if they don't already exist; and Odoo fulfillment/delivery-order validation pushes back to Shopify. A worked example creates an Odoo sale order from a Shopify order via XMLRPC: it looks up or creates the customer by email against res.partner, resolves each line item's product by matching its SKU to product.product's default_code, and creates a sale.order with those lines. Real-time order intake runs through a webhook receiver rather than polling, for example:

from flask import Flask, request
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/webhook/shopify/orders', methods=['POST'])
def shopify_order_webhook():
    shopify_order = request.json
    order_id = create_odoo_order_from_shopify(shopify_order)
    return {"odoo_order_id": order_id}, 200

Connects Shopify's REST API and webhook system to Odoo's res.partner, product.product, and sale.order models via XMLRPC, matching products between systems by SKU/Internal Reference - a stable key across both platforms - rather than Shopify's own product IDs. It is activated by mentioning @odoo-shopify-integration and describing the sync scenario, which produces a data-flow architecture and field mapping, then code snippets for the webhook receiver and the Odoo API caller.

Developers connecting a Shopify storefront to an Odoo backend who need real-time order and inventory sync, guided by explicit best practices: validate Shopify webhook HMAC signatures before processing any payload, match products by SKU/Internal Reference rather than Shopify's own product IDs since SKUs stay stable across platforms, and designate exactly one system as the source of truth for inventory - the source explicitly warns against both systems pushing stock updates simultaneously without a clear master. The example order-creation call sets client_order_ref to the Shopify order number for traceability and builds each order_line from product_uom_qty and price_unit taken directly off the Shopify line items.
