ERPs and operations
How ERP integrations work
In most ERP integrations, the ERP becomes the source of truth for your B2B data: the one place you make changes.
- You set up customers and prices in the ERP.
- SparkLayer imports them on a schedule, and creates the matching customers and price lists.
- B2B orders flow back to the ERP through its own connection to your store (except Katana: SparkLayer doesn't send orders to it).
Each ERP's guide follows the same pattern: what it does, what syncs and in which direction, how to set it up, and its limitations.
| Integration | Customers from the ERP | Prices from the ERP | How often | Orders to the ERP | Platforms |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brightpearl | Yes, by contact tag | Yes, from price lists | Every 3 hours | Through your Brightpearl–Shopify integration | Shopify |
| Cin7 Core | Yes, by customer tag | Yes, from sell price tiers and customer prices | Every hour | Through your Cin7–Shopify integration | Shopify |
| Katana | Yes, by customer category | Yes, from price lists | Every 4 hours | No, SparkLayer doesn't send orders to Katana | Shopify |
| Linnworks | No, customers stay on your platform | Yes, from extended properties | Every hour | Through your existing Linnworks integration | All platforms |
| Unleashed | Yes, by customer type | Yes, from sell price tiers, customer pricing and discounts | Every 4 hours | Through your Unleashed–Shopify integration | Shopify |
If your ERP isn't listed
- Patchworks and Zynk are integration platforms (iPaaS): services that connect systems which don't have a direct SparkLayer integration. Their cards below link to their partner pages.
- Your developer or agency can build a connection with the SparkLayer API. See Building integrations.
