Shopline Integration Methodology

When to use this skill

• Syncing orders, products, members, or inventory between Shopline and an internal ERP / data warehouse
• Building a multi-step automation across mcp-shopline tools (e.g., order → invoice → logistics)
• Reconciling Shopline state against an external system (accounting, WMS, 電子發票 平台)
• Designing a promotion / coupon / flash-sale workflow that spans read + write tools
• Debugging unexpected behavior: missing orders, stale reads after writes, 403 on channel lookups

Do NOT use when

• You need the exact API schema for one endpoint — read the tool description or Shopline Open API docs directly
• The merchant is on Shopify, 91APP, Cyberbiz, or a non-Shopline platform — use tw-ecom-channel-strategy first
• The Shopline store is non-Taiwan (HK/SG/MY) — currency, invoice, and logistics assumptions in this skill are TWD + Taiwan-specific

Core concepts

Shopline is a SaaS commerce platform popular with Taiwan DTC and omnichannel brands. A single merchant account can own multiple shops (storefronts); each shop can sell through multiple channels (online + POS retail stores). mcp-shopline wraps Shopline Open API v1 into 143 tools (75 read, 68 write), all scoped to one API token = one merchant context.
