The Direct-to-Consumer Order to Cash process is the financial backbone of every ecommerce brand. It covers everything from the moment a customer places an order on your storefront to the moment that revenue is recognized in your ERP. When it works, your team barely notices it. When it breaks, the damage cascades: phantom revenue on the books, inventory counts that don’t match reality, a finance team that can’t close the month, and customers who never got their shipping confirmation.
The challenge is that DTC Order to Cash isn’t one integration — it’s a chain of interconnected events that must execute in the right order, at the right time, with the right data. An order captured in Shopify must generate the correct Sales Order in NetSuite. Discounts, taxes, gift cards, and split payments must all be applied consistently across both systems. Fulfillment events from your 3PL or warehouse must trigger the right financial records — whether that’s an Invoice, a Cash Sale, or a Customer Deposit Application.
Hairball has built and managed this exact process for over 300 brands across Shopify, BigCommerce, and Magento. We don’t just install the connector — we design the full Order to Cash workflow around your specific billing model, whether that’s a simple Cash Sale flow for high-volume DTC, a full lifecycle with Sales Orders, Customer Deposits, and Invoices, or anything in between. The result is a process that runs cleanly, closes accurately, and scales with your growth.
