Connecting Your WMS to Your eCommerce Stack: Shopify, Amazon & More

Request Demo

For eCommerce businesses, the difference between thriving and simply surviving often comes down to how well your systems work together. It’s not enough to have a great website or to list your products on Amazon, you also need the machinery behind the scenes to run smoothly. That’s where your Warehouse Management System (WMS) comes in. But here’s the catch: a WMS only unlocks its full potential when it’s properly connected to the rest of your eCommerce stack.

At Canary7, we see this every day. Brands come to us with fantastic products and strong sales channels, but their operations are held back by disconnected systems, manual processes, and costly errors. Once their WMS is fully integrated with platforms like Shopify and Amazon, the change is immediate. Orders flow automatically, inventory updates in real time, and customers get the seamless experience they expect.

Why Integration Matters

Think about what happens when your WMS isn’t connected. Orders from your Shopify store need to be keyed in by hand, risking mistakes and slowing down fulfilment. Stock levels drift out of sync, leading to overselling or underselling. Customers waiting on their Amazon purchases lose patience when delivery times stretch out. The warehouse team scrambles to catch up, and what should be a well-oiled operation turns into a game of damage control.

When your WMS is integrated with your eCommerce stack, all of those problems begin to fade. Instead of data being trapped in silos, it flows freely. An order placed on Shopify lands instantly in your warehouse management system. Inventory adjustments in your WMS are reflected in Amazon in real time. Shipping updates feed back into your sales platforms, keeping customers in the loop. The result is a smoother, faster, and more accurate process from click to delivery.

Shopify + WMS: Empowering Growth

For direct-to-consumer brands, Shopify is often the platform of choice. But as sales grow, keeping up with orders becomes a challenge if your warehouse and storefront don’t communicate. With an integrated WMS, every Shopify order is automatically captured and queued for fulfilment. Stock levels stay accurate, even across multiple warehouses or product variants. And once the order is shipped, tracking details are sent straight back to the customer, no manual input required. This not only saves valuable time but also builds trust with customers who expect updates in real time.

 

Amazon + WMS: Competing at Marketplace Speed

Amazon is a marketplace where speed and precision are non-negotiable. Shoppers expect their orders to arrive quickly, and sellers face penalties for missed targets. An integrated WMS ensures you can meet these demands. Inventory updates keep your Amazon listings accurate, while orders are routed into your warehouse the moment they’re placed. With carrier integrations layered in, your team can print labels, pick and pack, and dispatch orders with minimal delay. The net effect is fewer mistakes, faster delivery, and happier customers, exactly what you need to stay competitive on the world’s largest online marketplace.

Beyond Shopify and Amazon: Expanding Your Reach

It’s not just Shopify and Amazon that matter in the world of eCommerce. Many brands today spread their presence across multiple storefronts, whether that’s WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, or another platform entirely. The challenge, of course, is keeping all of these channels connected and consistent. That’s where Canary7 makes life easier. By offering seamless integrations with a wide variety of eCommerce platforms, it ensures that no matter where your customers shop, your warehouse stays in sync. Orders flow in, inventory updates across the board, and fulfilment runs smoothly without the usual headaches. The key takeaway is this: Canary7 brings all your online sales channels together in one connected system.

Building a Connected Ecosystem

Of course, eCommerce platforms are only one part of a larger picture. Most businesses also rely on a wider ecosystem: marketplaces like eBay or Zalando, ERP systems to manage finance and procurement, courier networks to handle delivery, and analytics tools to make sense of performance. A strong WMS integration strategy pulls all of these moving parts together. Instead of juggling multiple dashboards and risking mismatched data, you get a single source of truth that underpins the entire operation.
