How to Sync Shopify Orders to NetSuite Automatically
To sync Shopify orders to NetSuite automatically, start a workflow on each new Shopify order, match or create the customer in NetSuite, map products to NetSuite items and create the sales order, with error handling for anything that does not match.

- Customers and addresses.
- Payments and refunds.
- Inventory levels, usually from NetSuite back to Shopify.
