Stop reconciling Shopify and Sage by hand on Friday afternoons.

What Irish & UK Shopify operators usually call us about

Friday-afternoon reconciliation hell

Orders ship, Stripe pays out, refunds happen, gift cards get used, and someone in finance spends half of every Friday matching Shopify line items to Sage / AccountsIQ entries. The numbers eventually match — but you've burnt a day a week to get them there. We automate the line-by-line so reconciliation becomes a one-click match.

Two product masters quietly diverging

Akeneo PIM (or your ERP) says one thing about a SKU. Shopify says another. Sage says a third. Stock levels drift. Prices drift. Descriptions get edited in three places. The 'source of truth' has fractured. We re-plumb it so one system is canonical and the others auto-update.

Theme freelancers who left no documentation

Your current Shopify theme was built by a freelance shop two years ago. They've moved on. Nobody knows which sections do what. Every small change needs a paid 'discovery'. Performance has slowly degraded. We either inherit it cleanly or rebuild it as a proper Shopify 2.0 theme with sections you (or your marketing team) can actually edit.

Shopify Plus or not? Honest answers please

The Shopify ecosystem is full of partners whose recommendation depends on their referral fee. We don't take referral commissions, so our answer is whatever's actually best for you. Most Irish SMEs don't need Plus. Some do. We tell you which one you are, in writing.

What we build for Shopify clients

Shopify ↔ Sage 50 / Sage 200 integration

Bespoke middleware. Orders become draft (or auto-approved) sales invoices with the right VAT codes, nominal codes, customer references, and line items. Refunds become credit notes. Customer master sync. Multi-currency where needed. Queue-backed, idempotent, monitored.

• Order → draft invoice with line items and VAT.
• Refund → credit note, fully linked.
• Customer master sync — no duplicates.
• Multi-currency with the FX rate at sale-time, not import-time.

Shopify ↔ AccountsIQ integration

Same plumbing, AccountsIQ-flavoured. Sales invoices and credit notes with correct nominals and VAT. Customer master sync. Multi-entity for group accounts.

• Real-time sync (webhook-driven, not nightly batch).
• Multi-entity if you run a group structure.
• Refunds, gift-card sales and partial returns handled cleanly.
• Reconciles against Shopify Payments / Stripe payout files.

Shopify ↔ Akeneo PIM

Akeneo becomes the single source of truth for product copy, images, attributes, localisations and channel-specific variants. Shopify pulls clean data on a schedule (or webhook). Manual data entry in the Shopify admin disappears.

• Channel-specific localisation (EN-IE, EN-GB, EN-US).
• Asset pipeline — images optimised at ingest, not at request.
• Bulk operations from Akeneo, no Shopify admin marathon.
• Two-way attribute sync where the merchant edits live data in Shopify.

Stripe / Shopify Payments payout reconciliation

Every payout decomposed into the underlying orders, refunds, fees and FX adjustments. Bank-feed reconciliation becomes a one-click match instead of a forensics exercise.

• Per-payout breakdown: gross, fees, refunds, adjustments.
• Bank transaction created in Sage / AccountsIQ with the breakdown attached.
• FX-aware for multi-currency stores.
• Alert when a payout doesn't reconcile within tolerance.

Custom Shopify 2.0 storefronts

Bespoke themes for Irish retailers — not a recoloured Dawn. Sections / blocks your marketing team can actually use. GA4 + GTM + Meta CAPI configured properly. Performance-tuned (LCP under 2.5s on mid-range mobile).

• Custom Shopify 2.0 sections built around your merchandising.
• Stripe / Worldpay / Square checkout setup with SCA / 3DS handled.
• GA4 + GTM + Meta CAPI + TikTok Pixel — measurement done properly.
• Live storefront example: boomerang.ie.

3PL / WMS, 3rd-party logistics & CRM pipelines

Order release to your warehouse (Mintsoft, Vinculum, Linnworks, or custom WMS). Tracking back to Shopify and the customer. Returns workflow. CRM sync (Pipedrive / HubSpot) for high-value B2B accounts.

• Real-time order release to 3PL; tracking back to Shopify on dispatch.
• Returns portal — customer-facing, ties back to refund automation.
• B2B customers piped into Pipedrive / HubSpot with order history.
• Win-back automations for lapsed high-value accounts.

Why Shopify operators pick Intellix

• We're not a Shopify reseller. No referral kickbacks. Our recommendation is whatever's actually best — including 'stay on Basic, you don't need Plus'.
• Honest scoping. Paid discovery (€1,500–€3,000, 1–2 weeks). You keep the deliverable even if you don't engage us for the build.
• We own the integration after launch. Small monthly retainer (from €450/mo). When Shopify ships a breaking API change, we deal with it — you don't even hear about it.
• You own the code. Theme repository, integration source, deployment configs — all yours. Hostable anywhere if you ever want to move.
• EU data residency by default. Integration middleware runs on Hetzner / AWS Dublin, not US East.
