With the explosive growth of online shopping in Southeast Asia, platforms like Lazada and Shopee have become essential for sellers. But as your business grows, managing each platform manually leads to:
- Stock mismatches
- Delayed order processing
- Poor customer experience
- Time-consuming reconciliation
That’s where Odoo ERP comes in. It acts as a central hub where all your sales, inventory, customers, and reports come together, whether they originate from your own website, Lazada, Shopee, or even physical stores.
In this guide, we’ll show how Lazada and Shopee can be fully integrated into Odoo, what the benefits are, and how our team at Spellbound Soft Solutions makes it work, even for complex setups.
Why Integrate Lazada & Shopee into Odoo?
Before we jump into the technical side, here’s why this integration is so valuable:
| Problem Without Odoo | Solved With Odoo Integration |
|---|---|
| Logging into 2–3 different seller dashboards | One central Odoo dashboard |
| Manually updating stock after every sale | Inventory auto-updated in all platforms |
| Repeating product listings | Master product in Odoo, pushed to all platforms |
| Late order dispatch | Orders visible instantly in Odoo |
| Manual invoice creation | Auto-generated invoices with mapped taxes |
| Hard to track channel-wise sales | Built-in reporting in Odoo by channel |
How Integration Works
To import from Lazada and Shopee into Odoo, we use either:
- Custom API integration – direct connection between Odoo and your seller accounts
- Connector modules – like Emipro’s Shopee/Lazada connectors (for faster setup)
Here’s what we set up:
1. API Credential Setup
We securely connect your Lazada/Shopee seller center to Odoo using API keys, client ID/secret, and proper scopes.
2. Sales Order Import
Orders from both platforms are pulled into Odoo:
- As confirmed sales orders (or quotations based on your flow)
- With payment type (COD/Prepaid) & delivery method
- Tagged by source (Shopee/Lazada)
3. Customer Syncing
Each customer record is created or updated in Odoo’s Contacts module with full delivery info.
4. Product Mapping
We either:
- Map Lazada/Shopee products to existing Odoo products
- Or create new ones automatically
5. Inventory Sync
Whenever a sale is made in any channel:
- Odoo reduces the stock
- Updated quantity gets pushed to Lazada & Shopee
This avoids overselling and keeps your listings clean.
6. Delivery Integration
Odoo’s delivery carriers are mapped with those used in Lazada/Shopee:
- So once a delivery is processed in Odoo, it updates the shipping status on the platform
- You can also auto-print labels & airway bills (if supported by your courier API)
7. Invoicing & Accounting
- Tax rules (VAT, Withholding) are applied per platform
- Invoices are generated automatically if needed
- Payments marked as per transaction type (prepaid or COD)
Technical Requirements
To make this happen, we need:
- Odoo v14 or higher (Community or Enterprise)
- API access to your Lazada & Shopee seller accounts
- Setup of scheduled jobs (cron) to auto-sync every 15–30 minutes
- Localized tax rules configured (e.g., VAT 7% for Thailand, WHT as needed)
