Order Syncing Integration

Order Syncing Workflow

  1. We check Cin7 for orders in the status of 'Approved' and stage 'Release To Pick' or 'Release to Warehouse'
    • The stage and filters can be customized to suit your workflow
    • Can exclude orders with certain shipping methods (e.g., 'pick up')
  2. We create a pending consignment in MachShip with:
    • Warehouse and customer details
    • Order number as reference
    • Optional product details:
      • SKUs as line items
      • Product dimensions from Cin7
  3. Order is picked and packed by warehouse
  4. Warehouse opens MachShip and searches for the order using order number
  5. Warehouse team confirms or inputs packages
  6. Pickers/Packers select a carrier service, or simply use cheapest
  7. Once consignment manifested, we update Cin7 with:
    • Selected carrier as logistics carrier
    • Tracking code as carrier consignment number
    • Stage as dispatched
    • DispatchedDate
    • Estimated Delivery Date

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 dimensions from Cin7

Q: Can you customize the order filters?

A: Yes, we can customize which orders sync based on status, stage, shipping method, and other criteria to match your workflow.

Q: Can you write shipping costs back to Cin7?

A: Yes, while we can't provide live quotes in Cin7, we can write back the actual shipping cost to a field after the order has been shipped. This is normally a custom field on the order.

Most Cin7 Omnis 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.
