Integration configurations
Stock updates are required to update the information about the current stock of products in PULPO WMS to Shopify. To ensure synchronisation, adhere to best practices for inventory management, such as maintaining consistent product identifiers and following PULPO WMS documentation on stock updates.
Generate Shipments configuration is required to update the information about the order status from PULPO WMS to Shopify, and transfer the tracking number data to Shopify
Status updates integration sends the shipped lots and serials to Shopify and adds a tag to the Shopify orders successfully imported into PULPO WMS.
Name | Type | Origin credentials | Destination credentials | Basic description |
Shipment generation | generate_shipments | PULPO | Shopify | After fulfilment of sales orders in PULPO WMS, the Shopify status changes to (partially) fulfilled. Transfer the tracking data to Shopify |
Stocks | stock | PULPO | Shopify | Transferring stock updates data from PULPO WMS to Shopify |
Status updates | status_updates | PULPO | Shopify | Add the shipped serial or batch numbers to the Shopify order notes, add a tag to the orders in Shopify imported to PULPO. |
However, now there are 2 options:
Option 1: You can continue testing the system without creating these 3 configurations and basically play with PULPO WMS options and settings, and see how the orders are picked, packed, and shipped. The configurations can be created later.
Since there are no required configurations set up, none of your activities will be reflected in Shopify.
Option 2: You can create the configurations as described below. In this case, the stock and status updates will be sent to Shopify.
These configurations don't need to be started manually as it was with sales orders and product updates.
Shipments Generation
Name the integration for Shipments' generation.
Select type Generate Shipments
Select credentials for the data origin (PULPO WMS API)
Select credentials for the data target (Shopify)
Stock updates
Name the integration for Stock updates
Choose type Stock
Choose credentials for the data origin (PULPO WMS API)
Choose credentials for the data target (Shopify)
Additional settings allow you to decide on the types of events that will trigger stock updates in Shopify.
Status updates: transfer shipped Batches and Serial numbers, tag imported order on Shopify
The integration of type status updates allows you to do 2 things on Shopify:
Save the shipped lots and serial numbers into the Shopify order notes, when a sales order gets finished in PULPO
Tag the sales order on Shopify once it is imported to PULPO
Name the integration configuration
Choose type Status Updates
Choose credentials for the data origin (PULPO WMS API)
Choose credentials for the data target (Shopify)
Select Add serial and batch numbers to order attributes in Shopify, when the orders are shipped, if you would like to associate the shipped lots with the shipped boxes.
Example:
Box 1: Product A with Lot ABC and Qty 1
Box 2: Product A with Lot ABC and Qty 1Activate the Ignore fulfilment orders checkbox if you would like to associate the shipped lots with the sales orders only.
Example:
Order 1234: Product A with Lot ABC and Qty 2 (no relation to shipped boxes)
Set a tag to the Shopify order after it was imported.
If the checkbox is active, sales orders imported into PULPO will be tagged with the “pulpo_order_partial_or_fully_imported” tag in Shopify. You can create a tag filter in Shopify to identify orders without this tag, allowing you to quickly spot any orders that failed to reach PULPO WMS.
If you are done with that, it is a perfect time to set up the returns and Sendcloud integration if required.
Otherwise, we can test the integration once again before the go-live.
