Order Syncing Integration

Order Syncing Workflow

  1. Order is created in MaroPost via the checkout or by an admin
  2. We check MaroPost for orders in the status of "New" or "Pick" every 5 minutes
    • Can exclude orders with certain shipping methods (e.g., "pick up")
    • Status filters can be customized to match your workflow
  3. We create a pending consignment in MachShip with:
    • Warehouse and customer details
    • MaroPost order number as reference
    • Optional product details:
      • SKUs as line items
      • Product dimensions if stored in MachShip
  4. Order is picked and packed by warehouse
  5. Warehouse opens MachShip and searches for the order using MaroPost order number
  6. Warehouse team adds packages onto the consignment
  7. Pickers/Packers select a carrier service, or simply use cheapest
  8. Once consignment manifested, we update MaroPost with:
    • Tracking Link
    • Order marked as Despatched on Manifest

Order Syncing FAQs

Q: How are packages and dimensions handled?

A: You have two options:

  1. Warehouse team manually inputs packages (most common)
  2. Pre-fill using product SKUs and dimensions stored in MachShip

Q: Can you customize the order filters?

A: Yes, we can customize which orders sync based on status and shipping method. For example, we can exclude pickup orders or only sync orders with specific shipping methods.

Q: How quickly are orders synced?

A: We check for new orders every 5 minutes, and shipping updates are written back to MaroPost every 5 minutes.

Important Info

  • Sync timing:
    • Orders sync from MaroPost to MachShip every 5 minutes
    • Shipping updates sync back to MaroPost every 5 minutes
  • The integration requires temporary admin access to:
    • Set up appropriate shipping methods
    • Configure API keys
    • Note: These shipping methods will not be visible to your customers
  • Live pricing is not available as MaroPost does not currently allow third-party carrier integrations

Setup FAQs

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

MaroPost integrations typically take around 24 hours to complete.

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.
