Infor M3 Integration for eCommerce
Enterprise Infor M3 connected to Shopify Plus, Adobe Commerce, and custom platforms, built around its APIs and its scale.
Infor M3 runs large, complex operations in manufacturing, distribution, and fashion, and integrating it is enterprise work: the data model is deep, the volumes are high, and the API layer rewards people who plan properly. We connect M3 to Shopify Plus, Adobe Commerce, and custom Laravel platforms so orders, inventory, and pricing stay in step, using its API and event framework with retries, idempotency, and monitoring designed in, so the integration scales with the business rather than buckling under it.

Proven in client projects
Jonathan was part of the small in-house team behind the Laravel middleware that connected Culture Kings' Infor M3 ERP to Shopify Plus. Our team's broader integration work includes production systems using NetSuite, MYOB, Xero, and Options ERP, including a documented nightly sync of around ten million rows at 100% success.
Capabilities
What we build with Infor M3
The Infor M3 integration work our senior team most often takes on.
Orders & Fulfilment
Web orders into M3, and fulfilment and status back out to your storefront and customers, handled reliably at the volumes enterprise operations actually run.
API & Event Framework
M3 exposes REST APIs and an event framework through Infor OS. We use the right mechanism for each flow so the integration is efficient and event-driven where it should be rather than polling everything on a timer.
Pricing & Multi-location Stock
Customer-specific pricing and multi-warehouse inventory surfaced to your storefront, which is exactly the kind of complexity M3 exists to manage and the kind a naive integration mishandles.
Enterprise-grade Reliability
Retries, idempotency, dead-letter handling, and reconciliation, because at enterprise volume a silent failure is a costly incident, not a minor bug.
How it works
An Infor M3 integration built to last
The same approach behind every integration we deliver, from the first conversation to the years of maintenance that follow.
Scope & map
We define the data, events, responsibilities, source of truth, and failure cases across Infor M3 and the systems around it.
Build for failure
We design around real failure modes with appropriate retries, idempotent writes, validation, and reconciliation so a temporary outage does not become silent data loss.
Test & reconcile
We test representative data in a safe environment, verify each data path, and reconcile the expected outcomes before go-live.
Monitor & maintain
Monitoring and alerting start at launch. Our senior team keeps the project context and remains responsible for changes, incidents, and long-term operation.

What clients say about working with us
“Digital Bird was excellent to work with. After countless attempts with speaking with agencies and other web design contractors, we finally found Jonathan and the team, and what a blessing that was. The project was handled end to end, with clear communication the entire time. We have now engaged Jonathan and the team for on-going website management and work due to how well things turned out. If you are on the fence about which direction to go, I highly recommend just taking a call with Jonathan and the team and seeing what you can achieve together.”

“We have used Jonathan for a number of years to develop and maintain our rather complicated Online Portal and website. Jonathan is always extremely responsive to requests and proactive in ensuring our online presence is safe, presents well and is functional to our customers needs. We would definitely recommend Jonathan for your custom web development needs.”
Nathan Smith
Marketing Manager, East Coast Bullbars
“Digital Bird is my first pick for delivering web projects on time, on budget and to the brief — every time.
Beyond being a delight to work with, Jonathan Bird is that rare breed of developer who is both masterful on the tools (an absolute Laravel whizz!) while also being adept at engaging the client in UX-thinking, to which he applies expert insights, gained through years of experience, to help further improve the end design for the target user’s experience.
This powerful combination of skills means that 4 years on and a variety of projects later (from search directories to corporate website developments), Digital Bird firmly remains my first pick for developer.”
Emma Keller
Communications Manager, Brisbane South PHN
“We’ve been working with Jonathan Bird for our website maintenance, and he has been nothing short of exceptional. Jonathan consistently goes above and beyond, responding quickly whenever we need help and resolving issues with impressive turnaround time. His communication is clear and thorough — he always explains what the problem was, how he fixed it, and provides helpful recommendations for long-term solutions. It’s rare to find someone this reliable and proactive. Highly recommend!”
Nichola Ross
Marketing Manager, Rapidline (FurnX Commercial Furniture)
“Digital Bird has had a huge influence on our business providing many solutions besides just a fantastic reliable website. Jonathan is great to work with and has a solution to every challenge. Jonathan also has the ability to “dumb it down” and provide timely advice and assistance if something goes astray. With Jonathan we have in excess of 99% uptime on all three websites.”
Jeff Ross
Director, Impact Office Supplies
“Velg Training has had an excellent experience working with Digital Bird. Jonathan has supported us with a complex Laravel/PHP website and has brought a rare mix of deep technical knowledge, practical problem solving, and clear communication.
He has assisted with major infrastructure and platform work across AWS, Laravel Forge, Cloudflare, Redis, S3, Sentry, PayWay, Mailchimp/Mandrill and related integrations. His work has included setting up and migrating infrastructure, improving performance, resolving production issues, monitoring errors, modernising legacy code, and strengthening the reliability of key business workflows such as checkout, invoicing, membership exports, PDF generation, transactional emails and background queues.
What stands out most is that Jonathan does not just “fix the ticket”. He investigates properly, explains the cause in plain language, and looks for the right long-term solution rather than quick patches. He has helped us move away from fragile legacy processes, improve automated testing, reduce errors, improve email reliability, address performance bottlenecks, and make the platform easier to maintain into the future.
He is responsive, thorough and highly professional, with an obvious understanding of business-critical websites and custom web applications. We would happily recommend Jonathan to any organisation needing a skilled, reliable and commercially minded Laravel/PHP web developer.”
Leonie Davis
Director, Content and Strategy, Velg Training

Alex Brennan

“I’ve worked with Jonathan from Digital Bird for several years and found him to be a highly competent developer who often exceeds expectations.
Together, we’ve collaborated on a number of medium-sized platforms serving hundreds of thousands of users, including learning management systems, a widely-used school well-being platform, trade promotion competition sites, and more.
Jonathan is very skilled in API and platform integration, payment systems (such as Stripe), AWS, internet security, and more. As a Project Manager/Product Owner, I feel very confident working with Jonathan and recommending his services to our clients.”
Zachary Bavas
Technical Operations, Invision Media
“Highly recommend Jonathan for anything web development in Brisbane and Australia-wide. Have worked with a lot of developers over the years and Jonathan’s work and communication on projects has been a clear standout.

Straight advice
The simplest reliable integration usually wins.
The right design depends on volume, timing, ownership and what must happen when either system is unavailable.
Not every sync needs to be real-time
Scheduled or event-driven updates can be safer, cheaper and easier to recover.
Choose a source of truth
Each field and business rule needs one accountable owner across the connected systems.
Design the failure path
Retries, logs, alerts and reconciliation are part of the integration—not optional support work.
The Difference
Enterprise integration is a discipline, not a plugin.
M3 is not a system you integrate casually. It rewards planning around its APIs, its events, and its scale, and punishes the happy-path approach.
A common shortcut
Out of its depth at enterprise scale.
-
Polls everything on a timer, ignores the event framework, and struggles as volume grows.
-
No dead-letter handling or reconciliation, so a failed message at enterprise scale becomes an invisible operational problem.
Our senior-team model
Designs for scale and failure.
-
Event-driven where it should be, batched where it should be, and designed for the volumes M3 operations actually run.
-
Idempotency, retries, dead-letter handling, and reconciliation from day one, with monitoring that surfaces failures immediately.

FAQ
Common Infor M3 Integration Questions
Common questions our team is asked about integrating Infor M3.
Yes. M3 can sync orders, inventory, and pricing with Shopify Plus, Adobe Commerce, or a custom storefront. M3 exposes REST APIs and an event framework through Infor OS, which supports a clean, event-driven integration when it is designed properly. This is enterprise work, and it should be scoped as such.
Through M3's REST APIs and, where appropriate, its event framework via Infor OS, so the integration reacts to changes rather than constantly polling. The right mix depends on your specific M3 environment and which flows are time-sensitive.
Complexity is the reason you run M3, and it is not a blocker to integrating it. Multi-warehouse stock, customer-specific pricing, and high order volumes are exactly what a well-designed integration is built to handle. The trick is designing around that complexity from the start rather than discovering it halfway through.
