BELLEVUE, WA – In November 2023, Acumatica became the first enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution to integrate with Shopify, offering business-to-business (B2B) merchants a single omnichannel tool to unify their storefront and back-office needs.
At the time, Acumatica said: “Our [native] integration to the new B2B features of Shopify empowers companies to digitally sell their own products using the same solution that automates their day-to-day business operations.”
According to a company Blog Post, Acumatica’s latest release—Acumatica 2024 R2—will enable users to access even more features and enhancements, delivering advanced retail and ecommerce capabilities. Through updates to the native Shopify Connector, users will be able to leverage new B2B functionalities for managing customer hierarchies, controlling payment terms, and configuring custom pricing rules.
“B2B operations strive to manage and fulfill orders across multiple sales channels, track cash flow, synchronize inventory, provide proactive customer service, and much more,” writes Stacie Jurczak. “They also typically have specialized payment requirements—like purchase orders, special pricing for repeat customers, or volume-based pricing. Some may operate with invoices and buy-on-credit terms; some may accept cash, credit, or ACH payments at the time of sale; and still others may use a mix of both.
“Acumatica’s native Shopify Connector supplies B2B and D2C retailers with a unified platform that seamlessly connects front- and back-end office processes, ensuring smooth data flow and putting an end to aggravating operational challenges,” Jurczak continues. “Because B2B merchants often need to offer customer-specific and volume-based pricing, Acumatica 2024 R2’s Shopify Connector has been updated so users don’t have to manage these pricing rules separately in the Shopify and Acumatica interfaces.”
