ERP & Integration Readiness Checklist
Integrations are where ecommerce projects quietly go over budget. The store and the ERP each think they own the truth, sync rules are vague, and edge cases surface in production.
This checklist lines up the decisions that make an integration ship on time and stay in sync, before anyone writes a mapping.
What this guide covers
Decide the source of truth
Most integration bugs are really disagreements about who owns a field.
- Which system owns products, pricing, and inventory
- How conflicts are resolved when both change
- Which direction each field syncs
- What happens when a system is down
Map orders, inventory, and pricing
The three flows that carry the most risk.
- Order and fulfillment status sync
- Real-time versus scheduled inventory updates
- Customer-specific and tiered pricing
- Tax, currency, and unit-of-measure handling
Vet the integration partner
The questions that separate a smooth integration from a stalled one.
- How they handle retries and failures
- How errors are logged and surfaced
- Rate limits and data volume ceilings
- Who owns the middleware long term
Plan for failure
Integrations break. Plan for it so a hiccup is not an outage.
- Queues and retries for transient failures
- Alerting when sync falls behind
- Reconciliation to catch drift
- A manual override path
