Technology & Integrations
Your stack should reduce chaos, not hide it. This hub explains how to design a modern commerce architecture: product data, order flow, inventory truth, financial sync, and the unglamorous bits—EDI, routing guides, and compliance. We compare ERPs and API-first platforms, outline integration patterns for Shopify + marketplaces + retail, and share migration playbooks that don’t take a year. You’ll see how CommerceOS becomes the command layer that automates exceptions and keeps systems honest.
Why Should You Care About Commerce Integration?
Because disconnected systems compound chaos with scale.
Integrations synchronize product, order, inventory, and financial data so systems agree. APIs connect the modern stack and EDI powers wholesale—together they eliminate blind spots.

How Endless Helps
CommerceOS acts as the operations layer: normalizes catalogs, enforces validation and routing, exposes exception queues, and integrates cleanly with ERPs and WMS/3PLs.

ERP Alternatives: Building a Modern Commerce StackFAQs
Do I need a monolith ERP?
Not necessarily. Many brands win with a composable stack anchored by a strong operations layer.
How do I keep data consistent?
Define a single system of record per entity, enforce contracts, and monitor deltas.
What breaks most often in integrations?
Edge cases: cancellations, partials, returns, and timing mismatches. Automate exception handling first.
Where does EDI live?
Treat EDI as a first-class integration with validation and label creation embedded in order flow.
