Odoo + React E-Commerce Integration

Problem

The business ran sales on a React storefront but inventory and invoicing in Odoo — leaving staff to re-key orders by hand and risking stock mismatches.

Solution

A two-way integration that pushes orders into Odoo, auto-generates invoices, syncs inventory in real time, and lets customers design labels in the browser.

Architecture

React frontend, Node.js integration layer, Odoo 18 (Python) with PostgreSQL as the ERP backbone, Stripe for payments and JWT-secured APIs bridging storefront and ERP.

Highlights

• In-browser label designer for product customization
• Fully automated order-to-invoice flow
• Real-time inventory sync between React storefront and Odoo

Challenges solved

• Keeping inventory consistent across two systems in real time
• Automating the order-to-invoice handoff reliably
• Securing the storefront-to-ERP API surface
