Shopify Connector compared with the alternatives
Two-way Shopify integration on the GraphQL Admin API: products with variants, customers, orders, multi-location stock, fulfilments, cancellations, refunds, payouts and abandoned checkouts, with signed webhooks and dry-run safety.
Checked on 2026-10-15. Prices are the Odoo Apps Store's prices in euros on that day (visitors outside the euro area see them converted); features are as each vendor's own public page describes them. If something here is out of date, write to support@bambooforge.dev and we will correct it.

Choose which, and when
Choose OCA's connector if you run 18.0 or 19.0, want AGPL-3 code at no licence cost, and are comfortable adding OCA's queue_job. Its maturity is marked Beta, and it has no build for 16.0, 17.0 or 20.0 today.
Choose Odoo IN's connector if you are on 19.0, manage your catalogue in Shopify and are content with a sync every ten minutes.
Choose Odoo Inc's Shopify app if you are a US or Canadian merchant who prefers a monthly subscription paid through Shopify.
Choose Emipro if you need the widest scope (Shopify Markets, metafields, POS orders, B2B) with implementation hours included, or a series older than 16.0.
Choose ours if you are on any of Odoo 16.0 to 20.0, want webhooks registered from Odoo, two-way stock per location, fulfilment and refunds in both directions, and a one-time price - and none of the things it leaves out is something you rely on.
