The Sage Concur-Shopify integration creates a specialized connection between your comprehensive Sage Concur expense management system and your Shopify storefront, enabling automated data flow that streamlines corporate purchasing, simplifies expense tracking, and enhances financial oversight. This innovative integration synchronizes purchase data, approval workflows, and financial information between both platforms, creating a streamlined process for corporate purchasing that improves compliance, enhances visibility, and reduces administrative burden. For businesses managing significant corporate purchasing through e-commerce channels, this integration provides essential controls while simplifying the expense management process.
In today's complex business environment, managing corporate purchases made through e-commerce platforms creates significant administrative challenges. The Sage Concur-Shopify integration solves these challenges by creating a seamless connection between your expense management system and e-commerce platform, delivering several specialized advantages:
Transform your business purchasing process with an integrated workflow that connects Shopify purchases directly to your Sage Concur expense management system. When employees make approved purchases on your Shopify store using corporate payment methods, transaction details are automatically captured in Concur with appropriate categorization, cost center allocation, and project attribution. This automation eliminates manual expense report creation, reduces administrative time by up to 95%, and ensures accurate expense tracking without employee intervention. The system can enforce purchasing policies, spending limits, and approval requirements directly within the shopping experience, ensuring compliance while simplifying the process.
Eliminate the headache of missing receipts with automated documentation that flows directly from Shopify to Sage Concur. Digital receipts for every purchase are automatically attached to the corresponding transaction in Concur, complete with itemized details, tax information, and payment verification. This seamless process ensures receipt compliance without requiring employees to save, scan, or upload paper documents. The system automatically matches transactions from corporate credit cards with the corresponding Shopify orders, eliminating reconciliation discrepancies and simplifying the audit process.
Gain unprecedented insight into corporate e-commerce spending with integrated reporting that combines Shopify purchase data with Sage Concur's comprehensive expense analytics. Track spending by department, project, cost center, or individual across both traditional expenses and e-commerce purchases. This unified view allows finance teams to identify spending patterns, enforce budgetary controls, and optimize procurement strategies based on complete data. Real-time visibility into pending and completed purchases enables proactive financial management rather than reactive expense processing.
Ensure adherence to corporate purchasing policies by extending Sage Concur's compliance controls to your Shopify environment. The integration can limit available products based on employee roles, enforce spending thresholds that require multi-level approval, and implement category-specific purchasing rules. This proactive approach to compliance reduces policy violations by addressing potential issues during the shopping process rather than after purchases are completed. The system can automatically flag exceptions and route them through appropriate approval workflows, maintaining control while providing flexibility for legitimate business needs.
Streamline tax reporting and recovery with automatic capture of tax details from Shopify transactions. The integration properly categorizes tax elements for different product types and jurisdictions, ensuring accurate reporting for tax compliance and reclamation purposes. For businesses operating across multiple tax jurisdictions, the system maintains appropriate documentation for each transaction, simplifying tax reporting and audit processes. This comprehensive approach is particularly valuable for organizations with complex tax recovery requirements or significant international operations.
Our integration leverages the Sage Concur API and Shopify's API infrastructure to establish a secure, reliable data pipeline between systems. The architecture is designed for reliability, compliance, and ease of use:
For organizations with dedicated procurement functions, the Sage Concur-Shopify integration provides a controlled yet flexible purchasing environment for indirect spend categories. The system enables self-service purchasing within defined parameters, reducing procurement bottlenecks while maintaining appropriate controls and visibility. Procurement teams can establish preferred product selections, negotiated pricing, and appropriate approval flows, then allow employees to shop within these guidelines, dramatically reducing the administrative burden of managing indirect purchasing.
Businesses with distributed workforces benefit from the integration's ability to simplify purchasing and expense management for remote employees. Field teams can make necessary purchases through the familiar Shopify interface without worrying about saving receipts or submitting expense reports. The automated data capture ensures that all transactions are properly recorded in Sage Concur with appropriate project or client allocation, eliminating a significant administrative burden for remote workers while maintaining financial visibility for the organization.
Companies managing expenses by project or client can leverage the integration to streamline cost allocation and billing. Purchases made through Shopify can be automatically attributed to specific projects or clients in Sage Concur, ensuring accurate cost tracking and appropriate client billing. This capability is particularly valuable for professional services firms, creative agencies, and construction companies that need to maintain precise project-level expense tracking for both internal cost management and external billing purposes.
Organizations operating multiple business entities or subsidiaries can use the integration to maintain appropriate separation of expenses while providing a unified purchasing platform. The system can route transactions to the appropriate entity within Sage Concur based on the purchaser's affiliation, cost center, or explicit selection during checkout, ensuring proper financial segregation while simplifying the administrative experience for employees who work across multiple business units.
