Order Syncing Integration

Order Syncing Workflow

  1. We search Cin7 Core for any modified orders that are "PICKED"
    • This filter can be adjusted to suit your workflow (e.g., PACKED status)
    • We can handle backorders and partial picks
  2. We create a pending consignment in MachShip from each Sale Fulfilment with:
    • Warehouse and customer details
    • Sales Order number as reference
    • Optional SKU mapping with dimensions
    • Optional carrier mapping from Cin7 Core ship methods
  3. Order is picked and packed by warehouse
  4. Warehouse opens MachShip and searches for the order using Cin7 Core order number
  5. Warehouse team adds or confirms packages based on your configuration:
    • Manual package entry by warehouse team
    • Pre-filled from MachShip SKU dimensions
    • Pre-filled from Cin7 Core item dimensions
  6. Warehouse team select a carrier service, or simply use cheapest
  7. Once consignment manifested, we update Cin7 Core with tracking details
  8. Order is marked as SHIPPED

Setup FAQs

Q: How long does it take to setup my integration?

Most Cin7 Core integrations can be setup inside of 2-3 business days from when we receive API access.

Q: Am I able to setup the integration myself?

We do not currently offer self-setup for our integrations due to the amount of customisation and testing required when linking your integration to your MachShip account.

We do have the ability to customise our integrations for each client to a large degree.
