  • Supercharge Your Online Store with Zoho Commerce and Inventory Integration

    Whether you're selling consumer goods, electronics, fashion, or industrial parts, the Zoho Commerce + Inventory integration ensures your business runs smoothly from website to warehouse.

What is Zoho Commerce?

Zoho Commerce is a cloud-based eCommerce platform that allows businesses to create, manage, and scale their online stores with ease. It is a part of Zoho’s ecosystem, designed to give small and medium businesses complete control over their eCommerce journey — from storefront creation to payment processing and order management — without needing extensive technical knowledge.


With Zoho Commerce, you can build a visually appealing online store using pre-designed templates and a drag-and-drop builder. It comes with all essential eCommerce features out of the box: product catalog management, customer accounts, cart and checkout functionality, payment gateway integrations (including Razorpay, Stripe, PayPal), coupon and discount settings, SEO tools, and responsive design for mobile optimization.

What sets Zoho Commerce apart is its native integration with other Zoho apps, especially Zoho Inventory, Zoho Books, Zoho CRM, and Zoho Marketing Automation. This helps businesses build a connected backend to manage stock, finances, and customer communication in real-time. Additionally, it supports regional tax compliance (like GST in India and VAT in the Middle East), localized shipping rates, and multi-language/multi-currency options — making it ideal for global commerce.


Zoho Commerce is perfect for startups, D2C brands, and traditional retailers looking to take their sales online quickly and affordably — while still maintaining professional branding and backend control.

What is Zoho Inventory?

Zoho Inventory is an online inventory and order management software designed to help businesses track stock, manage purchase and sales orders, streamline fulfillment, and maintain accurate records across warehouses. Whether you sell online, offline, or across multiple channels, Zoho Inventory helps centralize all aspects of inventory management to prevent overstocking or stockouts.


With Zoho Inventory, you can manage product listings, SKUs, serial numbers, barcodes, batches, and expiry dates, while syncing stock across multiple sales channels such as Zoho Commerce, Shopify, Amazon, and Flipkart. It also supports multi-warehouse inventory tracking, reorder level alerts, and purchase order automation — making it ideal for growing businesses that need tight control over their supply chain.

One of the biggest advantages is its deep integration with Zoho Books, which allows real-time synchronization of inventory transactions with financial accounting, taxes, and compliance. It also integrates with shipping carriers like Shiprocket, FedEx, and Aramex, making the fulfillment process faster and more transparent.


Zoho Inventory is particularly useful for retailers, wholesalers, eCommerce sellers, manufacturers, and even service-based businesses dealing with parts and consumables. By automating tedious manual processes, it boosts operational efficiency, reduces human error, and enables smarter, data-driven decisions.
