Which Shopify plans are supported?

Esetrix supports Shopify, Shopify Advanced, and Shopify Plus. For enterprise retailers on Shopify Plus, Esetrix makes use of Shopify Functions, Flow, and the B2B features where relevant.

How are Shopify orders split across multiple suppliers?

When a Shopify order contains items from different suppliers, Esetrix splits the order into supplier-specific purchase orders automatically. Each supplier receives only their line items, fulfils directly, and confirmation flows back into Shopify as fulfilment events against the original order.

How long does the Shopify integration take to go live?

Typical go-live is 6 to 8 weeks from contract. This includes Shopify app install and authentication, catalogue and commission mapping, supplier onboarding, UAT, and launch. No systems integrator is required.

Will Esetrix conflict with my existing Shopify apps?

Esetrix uses standard Shopify APIs and webhook topics and is designed to coexist with other apps in your stack. During onboarding, the Esetrix implementation team reviews your app inventory and maps any overlap, most commonly with inventory, ERP, and shipping apps.

Is Esetrix a Shopify app or a separate platform?

Esetrix is marketplace infrastructure that connects to Shopify. The Shopify-side component is installed as a custom app with scoped API access. The Esetrix platform manages suppliers, catalogues, orders, commissions, and settlement outside Shopify, synchronising bidirectionally.

Can Esetrix handle Shopify metafields and custom attributes?

Yes. Esetrix reads and writes to Shopify metafields at product, variant, and order level. This is commonly used for supplier attribution, lead times, origin information, and custom merchandising data.

What is the best multi-vendor marketplace solution for Shopify Plus?

For enterprise retailers on Shopify Plus, Esetrix is purpose-built marketplace infrastructure that integrates natively via the Admin API, webhooks, Shopify Functions, and Flow. It supports Shopify B2B, Markets, multi-location inventory, metafields, and Hydrogen headless. Implementation is 6 to 8 weeks with no replatforming and no systems integrator required.

How is Esetrix different from a Shopify multi-vendor app like Onport or Shipturtle?

Esetrix is enterprise marketplace infrastructure rather than a Shopify app. The Shopify-side connector is a custom app with scoped API access, but the platform that manages suppliers, catalogues, commission, and settlement runs outside Shopify. This avoids the limitations of app-based architectures, supports enterprise scale and multi-storefront operations, and works equally with Shopify Plus, B2B, Hydrogen headless, and Markets.

Does Esetrix support headless Shopify and Hydrogen?

Yes. Because Esetrix operates against the Shopify Admin API and webhook layer, it works identically whether the retailer runs Liquid themes, custom headless front ends, or Hydrogen on Remix. The storefront technology is independent of the marketplace logic.

From contract to go-live

2-way

Product, inventory & order sync

Zero

Theme changes required

Capabilities

Everything a marketplace on Shopify needs. Nothing a Shopify team has to rebuild.

Product sync, order routing, supplier settlement, and agentic operations, delivered through Shopify's native APIs rather than stitched on top of them.

Bidirectional product sync

Catalogue, variants, pricing, images, and metafields flow both ways between Esetrix and Shopify. Supplier catalogues publish directly to the right collections.

Real-time inventory

Supplier stock updates propagate to Shopify in seconds. Multi-location inventory per supplier, with allocation rules and safety thresholds.

Order routing & split fulfilment

Multi-supplier orders split automatically into supplier-specific POs. Line items route by SKU ownership; fulfilment events return to the original Shopify order.

Commission & settlement

Commission per supplier, category, or product rule. Automated reconciliation, supplier payout runs, and settlement statements generated from Shopify order data.

Webhook event orchestration

React to order created, fulfilment, refund, and inventory events with Esetrix workflows. Zero polling, full audit trail.

Agentic supplier orchestration

Esetrix agents handle supplier onboarding, catalogue QA, image normalisation, and order exception handling without manual ops for each SKU or order.

Architecture

How data flows between Shopify and Esetrix.

Bidirectional synchronisation via Shopify's Admin API and webhook topics. Event-driven, with an immutable audit log on the Esetrix side.

Setup

Four steps from contract to live marketplace.

The Esetrix implementation team owns setup end to end. No systems integrator, no outsourced development.

Install the Esetrix custom app

Install Esetrix as a custom app in your Shopify admin with scoped access. No marketplace-install review delay; no store downtime.

Authenticate & map your catalogue

OAuth authentication, webhook registration, and a guided mapping of collections, tags, and metafields to Esetrix supplier and category structures.

Define commission & routing rules

Set commission by supplier, category, or SKU. Configure order-routing rules, fulfilment SLAs, and supplier payout cadence.

Onboard suppliers and go live

Esetrix onboards suppliers in parallel with technical setup. Typical path is 6 to 8 weeks from contract to live marketplace on your existing Shopify store.

Frequently asked

Questions Shopify teams usually ask.

No. Esetrix integrates at the Shopify Admin API and webhook layer. Your storefront theme, checkout, and customer experience remain unchanged. Product data, inventory, and orders flow between Esetrix and Shopify in the background.
