Peasy and Shopify

Shopify is great for running your online store — but when it comes to purchasing, production, multi-location inventory, and vendor management, you need something more. Peasy fills that gap, giving you a complete operations platform that syncs with your Shopify store.

Why Connect Shopify to Peasy?

Shopify handles your storefront: product listings, checkout, payments, and shipping. Peasy handles your backend operations: purchasing from vendors, receiving deliveries, tracking inventory across locations, managing production, and selling to wholesale customers.

When you connect the two, your Shopify products and inventory stay in sync with Peasy. Receive a delivery? Your Shopify stock levels update. Complete a production run? The new finished goods are available to sell online automatically. Sell at a farmers market or through a wholesale channel in Peasy? Your Shopify quantities adjust so you don't oversell.

What the Integration Does

Product Import

Bring your Shopify products, variants, and images into Peasy with AI-assisted grouping. Peasy maps Shopify variants to items, suggests categories, and lets you review everything before importing. See the complete import process in Importing from Shopify.

Inventory Sync

Peasy syncs inventory levels between your Shopify store and your Peasy account. When quantities change in Peasy — from receiving, selling, producing, adjusting, or transferring — the updated levels push to Shopify automatically. See how the sync engine works in Shopify Sync and Webhooks.

Order Awareness

Shopify orders flow into Peasy so your dashboard and reporting reflect sales from all channels — not just orders created directly in Peasy.

Who This Is For

Food makers selling DTC on Shopify — You use Shopify to sell directly to consumers but need Peasy to manage ingredient purchasing, recipe-based production, and multi-location inventory. When you finish a batch and add finished goods to Peasy, your Shopify store quantities update automatically. See Peasy for Food Makers.

Retailers adding operational control — You've been running your Shopify store successfully but need better inventory tracking, purchase orders, and vendor management as you grow. Peasy adds the back-office tools that Shopify doesn't provide.

Multi-channel sellers — You sell through Shopify online and also through wholesale channels, farmers markets, or a physical store. Peasy tracks inventory across all channels so your Shopify quantities stay accurate even when you sell outside of Shopify.

What Peasy Adds That Shopify Doesn't

Shopify and Peasy complement each other. Here's what Peasy brings to the table:

• Purchase orders and vendor management — Create POs, manage vendors, track costs, and set restock points
• Receiving workflow — Receive deliveries against POs to update inventory automatically
• Production and recipe tracking — Build templates, schedule work orders, track ingredient usage and yields
• Multi-location inventory — Track stock across warehouses, kitchens, and stores with transfers between locations
• Wholesale sales — Manage B2B customers with price lists and sales orders alongside your Shopify DTC channel
• Bill pay and invoicing — Pay vendors and invoice customers through Peasy

How to Get Started

1. Connect your Shopify store — Follow the setup guide in Connecting Shopify. You'll authorize Peasy to access your Shopify products and inventory.

2. Import your products — Review and import your Shopify products into Peasy. The import process groups variants, maps units, and lets you assign categories. See Importing from Shopify.

3. Set up your items and units — Configure any additional units or conversions for items that need them. See Understanding Items and Units.

4. Start using Peasy for operations — Create your first purchase order, receive your first delivery, or set up production templates. Inventory changes sync back to Shopify automatically.

What Stays Separate

Shopify continues to handle checkout, customer-facing payments, shipping labels, marketing campaigns, and your online storefront theme. Peasy handles inventory tracking, purchasing, receiving, production, vendor management, and B2B sales. The integration bridges inventory between the two systems.

Common Questions

Does Peasy replace Shopify? No. Peasy and Shopify complement each other. Shopify runs your online store; Peasy runs your backend operations. You keep both.

Does inventory sync happen in real time? Near real-time. Shopify webhooks notify Peasy of changes, and Peasy pushes inventory updates to Shopify as they occur. See Shopify Sync and Webhooks for details.

Can I connect multiple Shopify stores? Currently, one Shopify store connects per Peasy account.

Will connecting Peasy change anything in my Shopify store? Connecting is read-only for your product data. Peasy imports your products and syncs inventory levels — it doesn't modify your product listings, prices, or store design. The only thing that changes is your inventory quantities when Peasy pushes updates.

What if I sell on Shopify and at farmers markets? Peasy tracks inventory across all your channels. Record your farmers market sales in Peasy, and the updated quantities sync to Shopify so your online store reflects the correct available stock.
