I. General Integration Setup & Data Readiness

Q1. What are the most important data prerequisites on my sales channel before connecting it to Logiwa IO?

  • Unique, properly formatted SKUs for fulfillable items

  • Clear product type distinctions: physical vs. digital/service

  • Complete customer info (first/last name, valid addresses)

  • Correct inventory locations with tracking enabled on the channel side

Q2. Why are API credentials and permissions critical for integration?

  • API keys must be valid, unique, and correctly configured

  • All required scopes/permissions (orders, inventory, products, etc.) must be granted

  • Missing credentials or permissions cause data sync failures

Q3. What are best practices for testing a new integration with Logiwa IO?

  • Use fresh test orders after setup

  • Ensure data is complete and valid

  • Test before going live to avoid production issues

Q4. How does Logiwa IO generally synchronize orders?

  • Syncs based on the “Last Modified/Updated Date” field from channels

  • If this field isn’t updated by the channel, changes may be missed

Q5. What initial checks should I perform if orders or inventory are not syncing into Logiwa IO?

  • Confirm connection is Activated and Completed

  • Verify order/product status is open/active/fulfillable

  • Check for complete data (SKUs, quantities, customer info)

  • Review integration toggles (Download Orders, Sync Inventory, filters, tags)

  • Ensure product listings are linked

  • Validate inventory locations and sellable stock

  • Look for sync errors in integration management screens

Q6. What should I understand about integration sync cycles (Orders & Inventory) in Logiwa IO?

  • Scheduled syncs happen at defined intervals

  • Event-driven syncs (e.g., webhooks) occur on changes

  • Inventory sync triggers only if inventory changes

  • Simply turning sync on doesn’t push data unless there's an inventory update

Q7. Which Logiwa product listing level toggles can affect Inventory Sync to Stores?

  • The "Never Sync" toggle on Product Listing, when turned ON, blocks Logiwa from pushing inventory updates for that listing


II. Shopify Integration FAQs

Q1. What are the critical Shopify & Logiwa prerequisites for a successful integration?

  • Shopify plan must allow access to protected customer data (e.g., via Carrier Calculated Shipping)

  • Grant all required Shopify API scopes (orders, products, inventory, fulfillments, customers, etc.)

  • Products must:

    • Have unique SKUs

    • Be marked as physical

    • Have inventory tracking enabled

    • Be stocked at proper fulfillment locations

  • Orders must be Unfulfilled and meet payment status filters

Q2. What happens if my Shopify API Access Token is invalid or expired?

  • Prevents saving configuration

  • Halts data synchronization completely

Q3. How do Logiwa's "Download Products" and "Create Nonexistent Products When Orders Are Downloaded" toggles for Shopify work?

  • If OFF, products must be created and linked manually in Logiwa. Otherwise, you'll get "SKU does not exist" errors

  • Download Product runs daily; can also be triggered manually

Q4. How do I manage Product Listings for Shopify, especially after SKU or Product ID changes?

  • Product Listings link Shopify products to Logiwa Products

  • Unlinked listings block sync

  • Deleting/recreating products in Shopify creates new Product IDs

  • Re-link or update listings in Logiwa when Shopify Product IDs change

Q5. What are the considerations for integrating orders from third-party Shopify apps (e.g., TikTok Shop)?

  • Ensure orders are assigned to the correct fulfillment locations

  • Orders may initially lack data and cause sync delays

Q6. Why are orders not syncing from or assigned to the incorrect Shopify locations?

  • Orders must be assigned to Shopify locations that Logiwa monitors

  • Avoid multiple Logiwa connections to the same Shopify store (conflicts can occur)

Q7. Why do Shopify orders sync with missing line items?

  • Product data may not be synced before the order sync

  • Delays from 3rd-party apps may cause incomplete data during sync

Q8. Why are updates to existing Shopify orders (cancellations, address changes, tags) not syncing?

  • Orders in a non-"Open" status in Logiwa block updates

  • Changes may not update Shopify's "Last Modified" timestamp

  • Financial status changes outside import filters can block sync

Q9. How can I re-sync Shopify orders after data corrections?

  • Make a small change (like adding/removing a tag)

  • This updates the "Last Modified" timestamp

  • Logiwa will reprocess the order on the next order sync cycle

Q10. How should I handle product types like Bundles/Kits in Shopify?

  • Avoid kits without SKUs — use placeholders or define all component SKUs

  • Kits must be correctly configured in Logiwa with valid components

Q11. How do kit inventory levels get calculated and synced to Shopify, and what should I check if inventory is incorrect?

  • Kit availability is based on component stock

  • Enable “Track Quantity” on both kit parent and components in Shopify

  • Ensure kit SKUs are properly linked in Logiwa

Q12. What are the essential prerequisites for Shopify inventory sync?

  • Sync Inventory toggle must be ON

  • Products must be created/downloaded and linked

  • Positive sellable inventory must exist in Logiwa

Q13. How is Shopify inventory sync triggered, and can it be reset?

  • Triggered by inventory changes (event-driven)

  • Manual sync can be triggered from Logiwa for queued items

Q14. How do Shopify inventory metrics ("On Hand," "Committed," "Available") relate to Logiwa sync?

  • Logiwa updates Available or On Hand stock based on Inventory Sync Method selection

  • If On Hand is sent from Logiwa, Shopify calculates (Available Quantity) as

    (On Hand Quantity) - (Committed Quantity)

  • If Available is sent from Logiwa, Shopify calculates (On Hand Quantity) as

    (Available Quantity) + (Committed Quantity)

Q15. Why is Shopify inventory showing differently than Logiwa?

  • Open orders in Logiwa may reduce available stock

  • Product status, location settings, or sync toggles might block updates

  • Shopify's “Track Quantity” setting and listing health impact visibility

Q16. Why are Send Shipment Info Messages not created / fulfillment status or tracking numbers not updating in Shopify after shipping in Logiwa?

  • Quantity mismatch between Logiwa and Shopify can cause the shipment message to be rejected

  • Orders created manually in Logiwa are not eligible for fulfillment updates to Shopify

  • Kits must be properly configured in Logiwa, with correct linking of both parent and component SKUs

  • If the order is manually updated in Logiwa after the order is downloaded (e.g., an item is added or removed—even if the same item is re-added, or quantities are changed), this breaks the Send Shipment Info logic and prevents fulfillment updates from being sent to Shopify

Q17. How can I use Shopify order tags in Logiwa Workflow Automation to manage orders?

  • Tags are evaluated at order import

  • Use conditions like “Tag = FraudReview” to trigger workflow rules (e.g., block order)

Q18. How can I manage potentially fraudulent Shopify orders using Logiwa workflows?

  • Let the order sync to Logiwa

  • Create a workflow triggered by tag (e.g., “Fraud”)

  • Action: “Do not Download Order” to prevent fulfillment


III. Amazon Integration FAQs

Q1. What are the critical data requirements for Amazon orders and FBM inventory sync, and how do I resolve common SKU-related errors?

  • All order lines must have valid Seller SKUs ("Detail Code")

  • FBM SKUs must be created and linked in Logiwa

  • Errors like “Detail Code cannot be empty” indicate SKU issues

  • Fix by verifying and correcting SKUs in Amazon and Logiwa, then re-sync

Q2. How does Logiwa IO handle Amazon orders cancelled quickly or with “Pending Payment” status?

  • Cancelled orders are ignored

  • Pending Payment orders are downloaded, allowing you to hold them until payment clears

Q3. My Amazon FBM orders are not syncing into Logiwa. What should I check?

  • Ensure the order is MFN/FBM in Seller Central

  • Confirm product listings exist and are linked in Logiwa

  • Use different SKUs for FBA and MFN listings if needed

  • Verify customer data and integration connection settings

Q4. Why isn’t an Amazon order appearing in Logiwa after quick cancellation?

  • Logiwa skips orders already marked as “Cancelled” at sync time

Q5. Amazon shows 0 inventory for FBM items though Logiwa has stock. What are common causes?

  • Stock consumed by open Logiwa orders

  • Inventory location setup may block sync

  • Product must be marked as sellable

  • Product Listings must be linked and active


IV. ShipStation Integration FAQs

Q1. My orders are not syncing from ShipStation into Logiwa. What should I check?

  • Ensure orders exist and are in a valid status in ShipStation

  • Verify API Key/Secret matches in both platforms

  • Check that all SKUs in the orders are linked in Logiwa

Q2. Does Logiwa send inventory updates TO ShipStation?

  • No, Logiwa does not push inventory updates to ShipStation
