Solving the problem with our Shopify Connectors
Learn more about Shopify
The solution included the following:
- Near real-time synchronization from Struct PIM to Shopify, enabling more efficient handling of large product updates and minimizing delays.
- Multi-currency pricing management by integrating Business Central with Shopify Markets, allowing for accurate, region-specific price updates.
- Order and inventory management integration: The new solution facilitates the exchange of sales orders, invoices, shipping tracking, and more between Shopify and Business Central. Inventory adjustments are made quickly across multiple Shopify stores, with updates from the ERP or warehouse management systems following shortly after. This reduces the risk of overselling and ensures inventory levels are up to date across all stores.
“Novicell has been a professional partner, and we have felt in safe hands throughout the entire process. We worked closely together to find the technical solution that made the most sense for our business, and we are very satisfied with the result. With the new integration platform, our setup is strengthened and ready for growth across markets.”
How we strengthened the digital setup and consolidated all data
New integration platform
Novicell's middleware solution, built on Shopify Connectors, enables near real-time updates between ERP, PIM, and Shopify. This ensures that key data, such as prices and stock levels, are accurate and timely across all platforms.
Expansion to new markets
With integrated multi-currency pricing, Konges Sløjd can now expand into new regions without manual intervention or pricing errors, optimizing their pricing strategy for each market.
Fully leveraging potential
The new integration platform gives Konges Sløjd the freedom to focus on scaling their business and creating products, confident that their operational systems can support growth in new markets.
"We have appreciated the high level of expertise we found at Novicell, especially their ability to solve the (many) challenges that arise in such a large project. In their quick and effective solutions, they have also managed to think about long-term solutions that worked both at the moment and in the long run."
Efficient and flexible system integration
Flexible data management with a standardized API model
Instead of connecting the input model (e.g., XML from an FTP or other formats) directly to Shopify’s data model, the integration defines its own API model. This way, data from client systems is processed and mapped to a standardized input model before being sent to the connector. This loose coupling allows the integration process to be reused across multiple clients, regardless of how their systems are structured.
Customized output handling
Similarly, the output (e.g., order data from Shopify) is processed using an interface model. Each client system (e.g., ERP) interacts with Shopify’s order data through a client-specific implementation of this interface. This ensures that the central connector process remains unchanged, while only the client-specific mapping logic needs to be adapted.

Domain project
The domain layer contains the business rules that determine how product, order, and stock data are managed between systems. This layer operates almost independently of external systems or tools (such as NuGet packages), making the code easier to maintain and reuse.
Application project
The application layer governs the functions and use scenarios the connector requires. By separating responsibilities with the Command and Query Separation (CQS) design pattern, actions that modify data are separated from those that retrieve data. This provides greater flexibility in implementation—whether through Web API, console application, or worker function—and ensures scalability.

Real-time data synchronization
Data from systems such as Struct PIM and Business Central is processed in near-real time using worker functions and message queues. These components ensure that product, price, and stock updates are processed quickly and efficiently, even during high-load scenarios.
Error handling and data security
If errors or delays occur in data updates (e.g., stock data), built-in retry logic ensures that data is eventually updated correctly. This minimizes the risk of errors such as overbooking.
