Hi there. We are in negotiations with an interface provider to sync our ERP (SAP B1) to Shopify. He says that offline orders cannot be synced, but I have read and also got another offer from another interface provider, that offline orders can be synced to Shopify. It´s just a matter of field matching when connecting over API. Same issue for invoices. We would like to display the invoices created in our ERP on shopify. Just the content, no layout or PDF needed. Our customers should see a history of the orders (made on Shopify and offline orders created in SAP) and their invoices. I would appreciate some help here. Thanks a lot!

To answer your question regarding your invoice: Yes, you can display ERP invoices (in your casefrom SAP B1) on Shopify using metafields. When an invoice is generated in your ERP, you can sync the relevant data (invoice number, date, items, total, status, etc.) into the order metafields in Shopify.
Then, by customizing your theme specifically the customers/order.liquid template. Then you can display this invoice data directly on the customer’s order page. It doesn’t create a Shopify invoice, but shows the ERP one clearly, with no need for PDF generation. Clean, flexible, and fully customizable.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
Hope this will help
- Show offline orders : Use Shopify API + match fields correctly
- Show invoice content : Push data via API & show it in a custom page
- Let customers see all history: Link orders and invoices to each customer account
Hi. Well, I would need a more detailed approach. If there is any technical assistance that could guide our interface provider as they said it won´t work with Shopify. Thanks.
