Online stores: payments, stock, invoicing and shipping
An online store is an operational process too. Catalogue and checkout need to match how you confirm payments, prepare orders and manage stock.
Start with products and orders
Define products, variants, prices and availability rules. Agree what guests see and whether B2B partners have different pricing or conditions.
Payments are more than a button
Confirmation comes from the provider, not just the success page. Handle repeated events, unpaid orders, cancellations and refunds using supported functions. Use the test environment before launch.
Choose the stock source of truth
If stock lives in an ERP, define sync frequency and outage behaviour. Reservations and cancellations need explicit rules. Do not assume any two applications can sync every field.
Connect shipping and invoicing
Check APIs, provider contracts and required data. Decide whether invoices and shipping documents generate automatically or after review. Test integration failure as well as the ideal order.
