JTL Wawi + Shopify Plus
Enterprise scaling with B2B, Markets and multi-storefront. Setup from 5.990 €.
Price calculator →Why not simply use only JTL-Shop or only Shopify?
Anyone using only JTL-Shop gains native integration into the ERP but buys into limitations regarding speed, international growth and the app ecosystem. Anyone using only Shopify gets excellent storefront performance but struggles with German accounting logic, DATEV export, supplier management and complex stock handling.
The solution: JTL-Wawi handles the entire backend, purchasing, warehousing, suppliers, shipping providers, DATEV, multi-client accounting. Shopify Plus handles the entire frontend, storefront, checkout, campaign logic, B2B portal, international markets. Both systems exchange data via the TwoPixels Bridge in real time.
What makes Shopify Plus stand out as a frontend
Shopify Plus is not simply Shopify with higher limits, it is a commerce platform built for growth:
- Checkout conversion: Shopify checkout demonstrably converts better than any self-hosted alternative, thanks to stored payment data, Shop Pay and optimized UX design
- Core Web Vitals: Shopify storefronts achieve the best performance scores in e-commerce, which directly impacts SEO rankings
- Shopify Markets: One store, any number of countries, with prices, languages, currencies and tax rates configurable per market
- B2B features: Shopify Plus includes native B2B features: company accounts, price lists, net payment terms, customized storefronts
- App ecosystem: Over 8.000 apps for loyalty, subscriptions, bundling, reviews and upsells, ready to use without development effort
What JTL-Wawi delivers as the backend
JTL-Wawi is the most widely used ERP system in German-speaking e-commerce, for good reason:
- German accounting logic: DATEV export, SKR03/SKR04, correct tax codes and document numbering ranges, all native
- Supplier management: Order suggestions, supplier prices, automatic reordering, EDI integration
- WMS & warehouse: JTL-WMS for multi-stage warehouse processes, picking, shipping labels for all common carriers
- Multi-client: One ERP installation manages multiple sales channels and brands, ideal for merchants with multiple Shopify stores
- Shipping providers: DHL, DPD, UPS, Hermes, Amazon, all integrable via JTL-Shipping
The TwoPixels Bridge: the heart of the connection
Standard connectors transfer prices and stock levels, and that is it. The TwoPixels Bridge goes further:
- Transfers product attributes as Shopify metafields (for filter navigation, SEO and product comparisons)
- Synchronizes SEO fields, product descriptions and language versions from JTL locales
- Writes Shopify orders back into the ERP, fully automatically, error-resistant
- Supports multiple Shopify stores on one ERP (multi-client without extra effort)
We operate this bridge for 6 active clients in production, including mrkratom (botanicals, D/A/CH) and sheesh (lifestyle, focus on Germany). The bridge is production-tested, not a proof of concept.
Who is this stack right for?
