The Challange
Ingram Content Group, a global leader in publishing logistics, had no direct way to connect its vast catalog and fulfillment system with Shopify - the dominant e‑commerce platform in North America.
Recognizing that gap, Emersoft independently designed and built a Shopify integration that made it possible for approved Ingram retailers to sell and fulfill online more efficiently.
After seeing the solution in action, Ingram engaged Emersoft as a service vendor to extend the app with multicurrency support - a key feature that simplified onboarding for international publishers and retailers.
This collaboration helped Ingram reduce friction in global commerce by automating pricing, tax, and cross‑border setup inside Shopify, while Emersoft maintained technical compatibility with Ingram’s systems.
Our Approach
Emersoft identified early that integrating Ingram’s catalog with Shopify could modernize how global bookstores sell online. After seeing the potential, Ingram Content Group engaged Emersoft as a service vendor to extend the platform with new multicurrency capabilities.
This feature allowed Ingram to onboard international retailers more efficiently by streamlining pricing, taxes, and payments across multiple regions.
Our work went through a full technical review and approval process within Ingram’s internal systems, ensuring compliance with their infrastructure and security standards.
Over a two‑year collaboration, Emersoft delivered several enhancements to the integration stack used by Ingram and its global clients - helping modernize workflows and accelerate international expansion.
The Outcome
The Shopify app we built played a role in supporting Ingram’s international operations. By simplifying challenges around jurisdictions, taxes, and foreign currencies, it enabled faster onboarding for global clients. Emersoft provided the technical development behind this Shopify integration used within Ingram’s ecosystem - helping streamline commerce for the world’s largest book distributor.
