What is a shop system?

A shop system (also: eCommerce platform) is a software solution used to create and manage an online store – including product listings, checkout processes, payment gateways, and customer data handling.

Shop systems in eCommerce

Shop systems such as Shopify, WooCommerce, Shopware, or Magento form the backbone of digital commerce. To ensure fast and error-free fulfillment, they need to be connected to warehouse and logistics systems. With everstox, shop systems are seamlessly integrated via API or plug & play connectors. This enables automated order processing, real-time inventory sync, and live tracking updates – across multiple warehouses and sales channels.

Example for a shop system

A fashion brand uses Shopify to manage its online store. With everstox, all incoming orders are synced automatically to the fulfillment center. Inventory is updated in real time, and tracking info is pushed back into the shop system – no manual steps needed.
