Sellers can use the Shopify software to design and manage their stores across many channels:
- Web
- Social media
- Mobile
- Marketplaces
- Brick-and-mortar stores
- Pop-up shops
Shopify is committed to providing advanced technology to medium-sized businesses so they can compete on the level of larger enterprises.
The benefits of selling through Shopify
Shopify’s multi-channel approach gives sellers an array of options. These are just some of the ways you can sell on Shopify:
- Online store – Set up your online store in just minutes.
- POS – Gives you the power to accept credit cards anywhere.
- POS Retail Package – Allows you to sell in brick-and-mortar stores, at trade shows, or at pop-up shops.
- Buy Button – Create an embeddable product card so you can sell your products within blogs or any website.
- Facebook Shop – Designed for mobile users, you can quickly add products to the Shop section of your Facebook page.
Shopify also gives you the power to sell globally – and you should. Ecommerce is growing internationally, not just in the U.S.; China is actually now the world’s biggest ecommerce market, outpacing the U.S.
Shopify enables sellers to increase their global reach with:
- More than 100 payment gateways
- Automatic risk assessment on an order-by-order basis
- Built-in tax calculations for 70,000 jurisdictions
- Dual Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) for global speed and functionality
- Level PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) compliant
The next level: Integrating Shopify and SAP Business One
To streamline your Shopify business, you need to integrate Shopify with SAP Business One. Here are the reasons why:
- Eliminate manual data entry – Integration means you no longer have to manually enter data into your systems. No more data entry errors and less time is spent entering data. This time can be spent on higher value-added tasks.
- Receive real-time inventory updates – Multi-channel and global selling means your sales have the potential to increase exponentially, making real-time inventory updates even more important.
- Automate the fulfillment process – Integrating SAP Business One and Shopify creates efficiencies in the order fulfillment process by removing all the manual steps.
- Increase customer retention and loyalty – Fast order fulfillment and fewer errors on orders make customers happy. They will refer you to friends and keep coming to you for future purchases.
- Save money and resources – You spend less money and resources on data entry, order fulfillment, and inventory tracking.
Integration has often been challenging, with high price tags and extensive consulting hours required. This has kept many medium-sized businesses from integrating with SAP Business One.
