The ecommerce landscape is evolving rapidly, with businesses needing agile solutions to stay competitive. This week, Patchworks explores how recent developments, including Shopify’s API updates, social commerce integrations, and the power of iPaaS, can transform business operations.

Navigating Shopify’s API Update: Migrating from REST to GraphQL

Shopify recently shifted its focus from the REST API to GraphQL, which became the standard as of October 1, 2024. This update aims to enhance performance, scalability, and flexibility for merchants. For businesses still relying on REST, the transition to GraphQL is essential to avoid disruptions in data flows and integrations.

How Patchworks Can Help: Migrating to GraphQL might seem daunting, but with Patchworks' pre-built connectors and automated data syncing capabilities, you can seamlessly transition your Shopify integrations. Our platform ensures your operations remain uninterrupted, so you can focus on growth rather than technical challenges.

Chair Cover Depot Launches with TikTok Shop and Brightpearl Integration

Patchworks recently collaborated with MRE Digital to launch Chair Cover Depot on our platform, integrating TikTok Shop and Brightpearl. This integration empowers Chair Cover Depot to tap into the power of social commerce while automating order management and inventory processes.

By leveraging TikTok Shop, Chair Cover Depot can engage customers directly on social media, driving brand awareness and sales. The integration with Brightpearl optimises backend operations, ensuring a seamless customer journey from discovery to delivery.

Unlocking Business Efficiency with iPaaS

As businesses scale, managing complex tech stacks can become a major challenge. This is where Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) solutions like Patchworks come in, allowing brands to automate data flows, reduce operational costs, and increase agility.

Real-World Impact: Leading brands like Castore and Belstaff have leveraged Patchworks to streamline their integrations. Castore successfully integrated over 40 Shopify Plus stores, while Belstaff gained greater control over their IT infrastructure, reducing project rollout times and increasing scalability.

Why Patchworks? By providing flexible, future-proof integrations, Patchworks helps businesses maximise ROI and adapt quickly to changing market conditions. Whether you’re transitioning to new APIs, embracing social commerce, or optimizing your tech stack, Patchworks ensures you stay ahead of the curve.
