Shopify + IBM Sterling Order Management Integration
IBM Sterling Order Management runs some of the most complex fulfillment networks in retail. SDG connects it to Shopify so the storefront benefits from Sterling’s orchestration without compromising either system.
Trusted by brands that define their categories
Enterprise-grade order orchestration
IBM Sterling OMS is built for large retailers and brands with sophisticated omnichannel requirements: distributed inventory, complex sourcing and routing, and high transaction volume. We keep Sterling as the orchestration and fulfillment authority and Shopify as the experience layer that feeds it demand.
How SDG integrates IBM Sterling with Shopify
We integrate Shopify’s Admin GraphQL API and webhooks with Sterling’s APIs and messaging, synchronizing orders, inventory availability, and fulfillment status through governed, event-driven flows. The integration is engineered for volume and resilience, with transformation, retries, and monitoring so nothing is lost between systems.
Resilient at the scale Sterling is chosen for
Brands run Sterling precisely because their fulfillment is hard. We respect that complexity and engineer for it, with senior engineers accountable end to end. Explore our integration practice or our replatforming work.
