Acumatica retail and ecommerce order and inventory management

Acumatica's inventory system maintains real-time stock counts across multiple locations, which improves product-availability accuracy on ecommerce sites and reduces the risk of overselling. Order management then gives a consolidated view of sales orders, deliveries, and invoices across every channel, with fulfilment tracking that helps ecommerce sellers manage shipping and returns.

Inventory management

Automation calculates when stock needs reordering to minimise overstocking or stockouts, and inventory can be assigned to a specific sales order line to protect customer commitments.

Order management and fulfilment

A unified view of customer orders from every sales channel, with automation for order approvals, stock allocation, and shipping, and automatic inventory updates across all selling platforms.

Acumatica ecommerce platform integration and multi-channel selling

Acumatica integrates directly with ecommerce platforms so online orders flow straight into the ERP, keeping the storefront synchronised with up-to-date product details, prices, and stock availability. For businesses selling through several channels, that data lives on a single platform rather than being reconciled between systems.

eCommerce integration

Changes made in Acumatica to product availability, prices, descriptions, or images are automatically reflected on the connected storefront, and orders placed online are immediately visible in Acumatica.

Multi-channel selling

Ecommerce, physical retail, telesales, and direct sales feed a consolidated view of sales and inventory data regardless of where the sale originated.

Acumatica CRM for retail and ecommerce customer relationships

Acumatica's CRM tracks the customer journey from initial contact through the sales process and after-sales service, which retail and ecommerce sellers can use to lift customer experience, satisfaction, and repeat sales.

Customer relationship management

Segments the customer base for personalised marketing campaigns and tracks customer issues through to resolution, alongside lead generation and after-sales service history.

Acumatica financial management for international ecommerce

Acumatica's financial management module handles invoicing, supplier payments, cash flow, and fixed-asset tracking, but the multi-currency support and configurable tax rules are the pieces that matter most for ecommerce businesses selling across borders.

Multi-currency and tax handling

Manages different currencies and tax rules by location, which global ecommerce sellers need for accurate invoicing and reporting outside their home market.

Acumatica warehouse management for retail and ecommerce fulfilment

Acumatica's warehouse features extend inventory accuracy into the physical fulfilment process, which matters directly to ecommerce order-cycle speed and accuracy.

Warehouse operations

Barcode scanning, bin location tracking, and directed picking and put-away improve warehouse efficiency and accuracy for order fulfilment.

Acumatica Ecommerce FAQ

How do you link an ecommerce site to Acumatica?

Ecommerce platforms connect to Acumatica through certified connectors — most commonly BigCommerce, with Shopify and Magento also supported — that sync product catalogue, pricing, inventory availability, and orders between the storefront and Acumatica's back office. Setup involves configuring the connector and mapping item and customer data rather than building a custom integration from scratch.

How do you set up BigCommerce B2B Edition with Acumatica?

Acumatica's BigCommerce connector supports B2B Edition specifically, syncing customer-specific price lists, contract catalogues, and credit terms alongside standard order and inventory data. Setup happens through Acumatica's Commerce Edition connector configuration, which maps B2B account structures and approval workflows to Acumatica customer records — typically handled by an implementation partner.

Does Acumatica have POS software?

Acumatica doesn't include native point-of-sale functionality in its core platform. Retailers typically integrate a third-party POS system, such as Cybex Retail Cloud POS built specifically for Acumatica, or connect an existing POS through the Acumatica Marketplace, syncing sales transactions back into inventory and financials rather than running POS natively inside Acumatica.
