The solution

We migrated the store from PrestaShop to Shopify with its full history: customers, orders since 2018, and store credit. Then we built a middleware layer in Node.js and TypeScript that runs on the client's own server. Every order paid in Shopify arrives by webhook and becomes a sales order in SAP, with the customer record created or updated, and a sweep every 30 minutes picks up any order whose notification didn't arrive. In the other direction, SAP is in charge: stock and customers flow down to Shopify every 15 minutes, prices and price lists every hour, and orders that originate in SAP appear in the store every 5 minutes. When the warehouse marks an order as ready, the middleware creates the shipment in SendCloud, chooses the carrier, and handles multi-parcel shipments, cash on delivery, and customs outside the EU. The label comes back as a PDF to the SAP order, and the delivery shows up in Shopify. Every night, SAP's professional customers are pushed to HubSpot as companies, with their contacts. Inside SAP, the team has custom reports on batches, new customers, and sales, and the discounts applied in SAP reach Shopify with the final price. We also look after the Shopify theme and its technical SEO: we integrated the organic silicon pages prepared by the client's SEO team so they display properly in all five languages, and fixed the code that repeated their structured data and hreflang across the store's roughly 460 pages and duplicated their canonical tag. The blog lives on HubSpot, with hreflang and canonical tags in all five languages. And so as not to lose the links and traffic of the old domain, we 301-redirected the 1,064 addresses on siliciumg5.com to their equivalent on the new site, product by product and article by article, and checked them live.
