Patchworks named in Shopify Winter Editions ’26 for B2B ERP integrations

December 18

Summary

Shopify’s Winter Editions ’26 highlights a growing focus on B2B commerce and enterprise-grade D2C integrations. As part of this release, Patchworks iPaaS has been recognised for its pre-built, fully customisable ERP integrations for Shopify — designed to help B2B and D2C retailers connect complex systems faster, with more flexibility, and less risk.

Shopify Winter Editions ’26: a clear signal for fast-growing commerce

Each Shopify Editions release offers a glimpse into where the ecommerce platform is heading next. Winter Editions ’26 is no different, but this time, the message for B2B and fast-growing retailers, developers, and ecommerce teams is particularly clear.

B2B and enterprise-grade commerce is no longer an add-on for Shopify — it’s a core pillar of the platform’s roadmap.

From company profiles and price lists to approval workflows and reporting, Shopify continues to invest in helping merchants run more complex, wholesale-ready operations. But as B2B maturity grows, so does the need for robust retail tech integrations with external systems — especially Enterprise Resource Planning systems (ERPs).

That’s where integrations move from being a technical afterthought to a strategic foundation.

The growing challenge of ERP integrations in ecommerce

For omnichannel D2C and B2B retailers, Shopify rarely operates in isolation. It sits alongside systems like:

ERPs (for finance, inventory, and fulfilment)
Warehouse and logistics platforms
CRM and customer data systems
Accounting and reporting tools

Shopify itself acknowledges this reality, outlining the importance of direct integrations with external systems to support advanced workflows, reporting, and automation across retail commerce operations (as detailed in Shopify’s B2B ERP documentation).

The challenge? ERP integrations are rarely simple.

Out-of-the-box connectors may work early on, but as businesses scale, teams quickly encounter limitations around:

Custom pricing and marketplace structures
Inventory and multi-location logic
Order, refund, and fulfilment workflows
Performance, reliability, and data consistency

This is where many teams find themselves rebuilding integrations just to keep up with growth.

ERP integrations: Built in close collaboration with Shopify

To help address this challenge, Shopify partnered closely with Patchworks to create pre-built integration accelerators for key ERP platforms (Netsuite and Brightpearl by Sage ), designed to speed up implementation while supporting real-world complexity.

Following a rigorous review and approval process, Patchworks was named in Shopify Winter Editions ’26 for its ERP integration capabilities (read the full list).

This recognition reflects:

Deep collaboration with Shopify’s product teams
Alignment with Shopify’s enterpise-grade integration strategy
A shared focus on helping merchants move faster without sacrificing flexibility

It’s a milestone we’re incredibly proud of — and one that reinforces the importance of integration as a first concern in modern commerce.

Pre-built doesn’t mean locked-in

One of the biggest challenges with ERP integrations is choice. Teams are often forced to pick between:

Speed, using rigid, pre-configured connectors
Flexibility, building everything from scratch

Patchworks was designed to remove that trade-off. Our Shopify–ERP integrations can be:

Used out of the box to accelerate setup
Treated as a template foundation, extended and customised as requirements evolve.

This approach allows developers and agencies to launch faster, reduce risk, and retain full control over data flows, logic, and future changes.

As operations grow more complex, that flexibility becomes essential — not just to scale, but to stay competitive.

Built for B2B — but proven for D2C too

While these ERP integration accelerators (Netsuite and Brightpearl by Sage) were initially designed to support Shopify’s growing B2B capabilities, they’re just as relevant for high-growth D2C and omnichannel brands.

Many of the challenges B2B teams face — complex inventory logic, high order volumes, ERP-led operations, and the need for reliable, scalable integrations — are equally common in modern D2C commerce.

That’s why Patchworks’ pre-built Shopify ERP integrations are used by both B2B retailers, and fast-growing D2C brands, and the agencies that support them — providing a flexible foundation that scales across business models. They are widely used by the likes of Castore, Natural Instincts, and Belstaff

Proven at scale for omnichannel retailers

Patchworks iPaaS supports leading D2C and B2B omnichannel retailers, as they scale on Shopify.

These businesses rely on Patchworks to:

Keep ERP and ecommerce data in sync
Support high-volume, high-complexity operations
Adapt integrations as their commerce models evolve

The result is a more resilient, future-ready commerce stack — without constant re-engineering.

What this means for developers, agencies, and ecommerce teams

Being featured in Shopify Winter Editions ’26 isn’t just an announcement — it’s a signal.

For teams building and scaling on Shopify, it means:

Faster access to production-ready ERP integrations
Fewer compromises as requirements grow
A clearer path from launch to long-term scalability

For developers and agencies in particular, it means spending less time firefighting brittle integrations — and more time building value for clients.
