Prophet 21 eCommerce & Website Integration

Your web store and your ERP are two separate worlds, and someone is re-keying orders by hand. We connect them so data flows automatically — accurately, in real time.

The manual re-entry tax

When the web store and Prophet 21 don’t talk, your team pays for it every day: orders re-keyed by hand (and mis-keyed), inventory that oversells because the site doesn’t know what’s really on the shelf, pricing that’s out of date the moment it changes in P21, and customers calling to ask where their order is because status never makes it back to the site.

P21 Consultanting

What we integrate

  • Inventory levels — real-time availability so the site reflects what’s actually in stock
  • Pricing — including customer-specific and contract pricing
  • Orders — web orders flow straight into P21, no manual entry
  • Order status and tracking — pushed back to the customer automatically
  • Customer accounts and product catalog — kept in sync both directions

Platforms and approach

We integrate Prophet 21 with Shopify, BigCommerce, Adobe Commerce (Magento), and custom B2B portals — using the P21 REST APIs and proven middleware patterns rather than brittle one-off scripts. If you already have an integration that breaks constantly, we diagnose and stabilize it.

Real-time vs. batch — what we recommend

Not everything needs to be real-time. Inventory and order capture usually should be; bulk catalog and pricing updates are often better batched on a schedule. We design the sync strategy around your transaction volume and how fast your data actually changes, so you get accuracy without overloading P21.

B2B portals done right

A distributor’s B2B portal is more than a storefront. We build in customer-specific pricing, credit terms, account hierarchies, fast reordering from order history, and quote workflows — the things that turn a website into a real self-service channel for your accounts.

FAQ

Can you integrate Prophet 21 with Shopify or BigCommerce?

Yes — those are among the most common integrations we build, covering inventory, pricing, orders, and order status in both directions.

Can the website show real-time P21 inventory?

Yes. We sync availability in real time so customers don’t order what you can’t ship, while keeping the load off your production database.

Can we show customer-specific pricing online?

Yes. We expose contract and customer-specific pricing from P21 to your B2B portal so logged-in accounts see their real negotiated prices.

Our existing integration keeps breaking — can you fix it?

Yes. We frequently take over fragile or undocumented integrations, stabilize them, and document how they work so they stop being a recurring fire.
