In the realm of ecommerce and retail, streamlining your team's workflow and enhancing stock availability is made easy with a variety of Shopify integration upgrades.
For those utilising Shopify's business to business feature, seamless synchronisation of business customers between MYOB Advanced and a Shopify store is now achievable. This opens up avenues to capitalise on sales opportunities with key clients. B2B merchants can effortlessly export customer price lists to Shopify, ensuring that buyers see the correct pricing upon logging in.
Moreover, the ability to offer location-specific discount pricing, ideal for franchise setups, is now at your fingertips. The introduction of a new availability adjustment value per stock item grants you control over the quantity exported to external ecommerce platforms, preventing any instances of overselling.

For a successful data import, fill in the columns in red; the blue columns are optional.

Starting in MYOB Advanced 2023.1, users can set up the system to import values stored in metafields of BigCommerce orders into MYOB Advanced. These metafields are custom fields in their stores to hold additional information, such as extra details about products, sales orders, and customers.
