Who Canopy is for
Canopy is designed for Shopify merchants who also sell in person — from one showroom to several stores and a warehouse — and who have outgrown spreadsheets for purchasing, stock and staff. It suits retailers, distributors with a Shopify storefront, and brands running more than one legal entity or Shopify store.
Built for your country, not just ours
Canopy was proven in a Sri Lankan retailer, but nothing in it is tied to one country. Currency, tax and payroll are configuration: each legal entity has its own currency, tax rules and invoice series, and we configure — or build — the rules for your jurisdiction during implementation:
- United States: state sales tax handled alongside Shopify’s tax engine, multi-state locations, US payroll via your existing provider (Gusto, ADP) or built in.
- UK & Europe: VAT invoicing and VAT returns, multi-currency and multi-entity groups, GDPR-conscious data handling.
- Middle East: VAT (UAE, Saudi Arabia and others), Arabic-ready documents, multi-branch retail and distribution.
- Australia & New Zealand: GST, multi-store inventory, payroll integration.
Where an excellent local system already exists — payroll or accounting, for example — we integrate with it rather than replace it.
Need something bespoke?
Not every business fits a product. We also design and build custom ERP and operations systems for brands, distributors and multi-location retailers worldwide: the same engineering, the same patterns that run Canopy in production, shaped around your processes. You own the code and the data.
Typical starting points: replacing a tangle of spreadsheets and apps, connecting several Shopify stores to one stock pool, or building the back office a fast-growing brand has outgrown. Tell us what you need.
Why “Shopify-native” matters
Many ERPs treat Shopify as just another sales channel and try to be the master of product data. That creates duplicate catalogues and constant sync conflicts. Canopy does the opposite: Shopify stays the source of truth for products and inventory, and Canopy writes stock changes back as relative adjustments, so a POS sale and an online order at the same moment never overwrite each other.
Built in production, not in a slide deck
Every module in Canopy exists because a real retail team needed it — the case study is here. That’s why it handles the unglamorous edge cases: partial deliveries against supplier invoices, per-variant receiving, split-tender refunds, cash counted at close, and a till that keeps selling when the internet drops.
Availability
Canopy is in production and offered to retailers and brands in any country. We take on a small number of implementations at a time — data migration, configuration for your entities and tax rules, integrations and staff training — run remotely, with shared working hours for the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific and scheduled calls for North America.
