Doctors Beauty Choice was a direct-client eCommerce and ERP integration project for Kordspace in the health, wellness, and life sciences sector. The work centered on connecting a Shopify storefront with the operational systems supporting online commerce. C# provided the integration layer for translating commerce data into structures suitable for ERP workflows. The project brought customer-facing retail and back-office integration into a single engineering scope, treating the storefront as part of a broader business system.
The challenge
An online storefront and an ERP serve different purposes, so connecting them requires clear decisions about data ownership, record matching, and update direction. Commerce information must retain its business meaning as it moves between systems with different structures and validation rules. The engineering challenge was to support that exchange without confusing a successful storefront transaction with a successfully processed back-office record.
Our approach
Kordspace approached the work as a Shopify commerce implementation with a dedicated C# integration boundary. The integration scope focused on identifying the commerce records needed by the ERP and mapping their fields into the receiving system's expected format. Separating storefront concerns from data transformation kept business-specific integration logic outside the shopping experience. Validation and processing-state handling were important considerations for distinguishing usable records from exchanges requiring attention. This structure provided a practical basis for evolving the storefront and its operational connection independently.
The outcome
The project connected Shopify commerce with ERP-oriented operational workflows through a C# integration layer. Its value lay in addressing the relationship between online sales and back-office processing rather than treating the storefront as an isolated website. The resulting scope combined a customer-facing commerce presence with the supporting integration logic needed for a more coherent business workflow.
Technical highlights
- Shopify storefront paired with a C# integration layer
- Cross-system mapping between commerce records and ERP data structures
- Separation of customer-facing functionality from back-office integration logic
