Zoho Inventory + Shopify for Indian Retailers (2026)

Indian retailers running Shopify often hit the same wall around 100 orders/day: managing inventory across multiple warehouses, raising GST-compliant tax invoices, and tracking shipments across Delhivery / Bluedart / DTDC. Zoho Inventory's Shopify integration solves all three, but only if configured correctly. Here's the 2026 setup guide.

Connect Shopify to Zoho Inventory (the right way)

From Zoho Inventory → Integrations → Shopify → Connect. Pick which way data flows: Shopify orders into Zoho (most common), or Zoho stock counts into Shopify (for businesses where Zoho is the source-of-truth). For most Indian retailers, two-way sync is right: Shopify gets stock counts, Zoho gets orders.

Configure GST-compliant invoicing

Set Zoho Inventory to your GSTIN, default tax rate (5%/12%/18%/28% per HSN code), and place of supply rules. When a Shopify order comes in, Zoho generates a tax invoice automatically, including IGST for inter-state sales, CGST+SGST for intra-state. The invoice is e-invoicing-ready (mandatory for businesses over ₹5 crore turnover).

Multi-warehouse and shipping

Add each warehouse (city, address, default carrier). Zoho automatically picks the closest warehouse with stock for fulfillment. Connect Delhivery, Bluedart, DTDC or Shiprocket via Zoho's shipping integration, generates shipping labels, tracking IDs and updates customer email automatically.
