Odoo 18 brings significant improvements for e-commerce businesses, including enhanced inventory management, improved API performance, and better multi-company support. Here is what matters for online sellers using marketplace integrations.
Inventory Management Improvements
Odoo 18 introduces refined warehouse routing rules and improved lot tracking. For multi-channel sellers, this means more granular control over which warehouse stock feeds which marketplace.
Key changes include faster inventory valuation calculations, improved cycle count workflows, and better support for consignment stock.
API Performance
The Odoo 18 JSON-RPC and REST API endpoints show measurable performance improvements for bulk operations. Product catalog syncs that previously took minutes now complete faster thanks to optimized ORM queries.
ECOSIRE modules leverage these improvements by batching API calls more efficiently during initial product imports and large-scale updates.
Multi-Company Support
For businesses operating under multiple entities, Odoo 18 improves inter-company transaction handling. You can now manage marketplace accounts under different companies while sharing a common product catalog.
Accounting Integration
The updated accounting module provides better reconciliation workflows for marketplace payouts. Amazon, Shopify, and eBay payout reconciliation is more straightforward with improved matching algorithms.
ECOSIRE Module Compatibility
All ECOSIRE marketplace connectors are fully compatible with Odoo 18. Modules have been updated to use the latest API endpoints and take advantage of performance improvements.
If you are upgrading from Odoo 17, ECOSIRE provides a migration guide and support to ensure your integrations transition smoothly.
Should You Upgrade?
If you are starting fresh, use Odoo 18. If you are on Odoo 17 with a stable setup, plan the upgrade for a low-traffic period and test integrations thoroughly in a staging environment first.
