External Shipping System Integrations
Infoplus now has the ability to be connected with an External Shipping System. This means Infoplus can be used for your Orders, Inventory, and Warehouse management, while optionally managing your Shipping outside of Infoplus.
Orders are pushed from Infoplus to the External Shipping System. After shipping Orders through that system, the Parcel Shipment information is then pulled back into Infoplus.
The first external shipping partner integrated with Infoplus is ShipStation. Look for more options to be added in the future.
- The new External Shipping System table allows you to define and manage the Shipping Systems that connect with Infoplus.
- There are three new Processes on the Order table for interacting with External Shipping Systems:
- Send Order to External Shipping System
- Remove Order from External Shipping System
- Pull Shipments from External Shipping System
