To connect an online store to MYOB Acumatica (formerly MYOB Advanced), use a connector or integration built on Acumatica’s REST API. It should sync stock items, customer pricing and warehouse stock from Acumatica, and create web orders as Acumatica sales orders. For trade customers, choose a B2B portal that also handles credit terms and account approval.
What are the ways to connect a store to MYOB Acumatica?
- Commerce connectors for platforms such as Shopify or BigCommerce. Check which connectors your MYOB Acumatica edition includes.
- Third-party integration tools that map store data to Acumatica.
- A B2B portal built on the Acumatica REST API, designed for trade customers rather than retail shoppers.
What needs to sync?
| Data | Direction | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Stock items and matrix items | Acumatica → store | One product catalogue, maintained in one place |
| Customer price classes and sales prices | Acumatica → store | Trade customers see the price your team would quote |
| Stock by warehouse | Acumatica → store | Customers order what’s actually available |
| Sales orders | Store → Acumatica | No re-keying, ready to pick and dispatch |
| AR invoices and balances | Acumatica → store | Account self-service instead of phone calls |
Where do Shopify connectors fall short for trade?
Retail connectors handle straightforward orders well. Trade selling adds rules they often don’t cover: customer-specific pricing, buying on account against credit terms, approving new trade customers before they see prices, and postcode-based freight. If those matter to you, compare a B2B portal alongside a store connector.
How does ordern connect to MYOB Acumatica?
ordern uses Acumatica’s contract-based REST API, authenticated through a connected application in your Acumatica instance. Web orders become sales orders, and customers get an account area with invoices and balances. See the MYOB Acumatica B2B portal for details.
