How do Shopify and Takealot Supplier work together?

You pick the system of truth (usually the ERP or store for stock). Wherehouse keeps Shopify and Takealot Supplier in step: stock, orders and pricing flow with your rules, so you are not recapturing data between them. A dedicated account manager sets this up with example orders first.

Should marketplace orders go into Shopify?

Only if Shopify holds master stock. Then we write Takealot, Makro and Amazon orders into Shopify so inventory decrements. If Cin7, Unleashed or Xero is the hub, Shopify stays a storefront and we pull Shopify orders out instead. Ask us this first. It is the whole design.

Do you support Shopify variants?

Yes. Each variant is its own SKU for marketplace stock and price. We can still group them back into one Shopify product when that is how the store is built.

Will this replace the Shopify apps I already use?

For marketplace stock, orders and fees, yes, that is the job. Shopify stays your storefront. Wherehouse is how it talks to Takealot, Makro, Amazon and the ERP, with rules those apps do not have.

Is this the same as selling on the Takealot Supplier marketplace?

No. This is the supplier / B2B side: purchase orders the retailer raises on you. Marketplace selling is a separate connection. Many brands run both, from the same Wherehouse account.

Is there a setup fee?

No. There are no setup fees on any plan. During onboarding we ingest your catalogue and sync a couple of test orders and products, so you know it works before you rely on it. You only pay once the account is live. Billed monthly. Cancel any time.

How long does onboarding take?

Usually 1 to 10 business days, depending on how many platforms you connect and how specific your rules are. A dedicated account manager sets it up with you. We run specified example orders first. Nothing automatic goes through until those are right.

Do I have to live in the Wherehouse dashboard?

No. Most sellers keep working in the store, ERP or seller portal they already know. Wherehouse runs in the background. The dashboard is there when you want one view of stock, orders, fees and sync history.

Two systems, one picture:

Shopify and Takealot Supplier stay in step: stock, orders and pricing flow with the rules you already run, so adding a channel does not add a second admin job.

Two platforms should not mean two jobs.

Every extra login is another place to update stock, recapture orders and reconcile fees. That is how overselling and messy books start. Shopify and Takealot Supplier should share one picture, with your rules on top.

🧭 You pick the role

ERP as truth, Shopify as one storefront. Or Shopify as the stock hub, with Takealot and Makro orders writing in so inventory decrements like a store sale. We set that with you, because it flips the flow.

🎨 Variants stay sellable

Size and colour stay as their own SKUs for stock and price. On the way back to Shopify, we can rebuild the variant family the store expects.

✅ Faster PO to invoice

Shorter turnaround helps you stay a preferred supplier, and can mean more replenishment from Takealot Supplier.

Your rules, not a generic sync

How it works

Connect both

Your Shopify account and your Takealot Supplier account. You pick which one holds the truth.

See the flow

Stock, orders and pricing should move one way, on purpose. We map that to how you already operate, not a generic template.

Apply your rules

Buffers, price uplifts, which SKUs are allowed. A rule can apply to one platform and leave the other alone.

Stay in step

Shopify and Takealot Supplier keep sharing the live picture in the background.

Purchase orders from Takealot Supplier - synced to your ERP or inventory system

Wherehouse ingests purchase orders raised by Takealot Supplier and lines them up with your fulfilment and invoicing flow, so you avoid retyping and spreadsheet handovers. Where this channel allows it, we can push stock levels or availability to Takealot Supplier so buyers see numbers aligned with your inventory system.

Why it matters for suppliers

Faster PO to invoice - shorter turnaround helps you stay a preferred supplier and can mean more replenishment from the retailer.

Less admin, fewer errors - PO lines and references land in the systems your team already uses.

Fewer stock comebacks - Where supported, availability published to Takealot Supplier lines up with your warehouse or inventory system, which cuts short-ships and after-the-fact changes.

Commit stock to key retailers - Prioritise allocation and push the resulting availability to Takealot Supplier where supported, without a spreadsheet per partner.

Custom business logic - mappings, pack sizes, lead times and approvals tuned to how you operate.

One place for every channel - Marketplaces, retail B2B and your own online stores can all report into Wherehouse so sales, stock and fulfilment stay coherent instead of siloed per partner.

For Takealot Supplier, this integration can include inbound purchase orders from the retailer and pushing stock or availability to the retailer where their model supports it.
