Complete Fulfillment Order Management
OrderShifter uses Shopify's Fulfillment Order API to give 3PLs complete visibility and control over the fulfillment lifecycle—from order assignment to tracking delivery.
View Fulfillment Orders
Dashboard showing all fulfillment orders assigned to your locations with status, items, and destination info.
Update Fulfillment Status
Mark orders as in progress, ready for pickup, or completed—keeping Shopify and merchants in sync.
Create Fulfillments
Complete fulfillment with tracking info that automatically notifies customers via Shopify.
Tracking Automation
Push tracking numbers from your WMS to Shopify—customers get shipping notifications automatically.
These capabilities require Shopify Fulfillment API access to read and write fulfillment orders, enabling OrderShifter to serve as a complete fulfillment orchestration layer between your WMS and Shopify.
The 5% of Orders That Cause 80% of Your Pain
3PL ops teams don't struggle with normal orders—they struggle with the messy edge cases. Shopify allows edits, cancellations, address changes, and SKU mistakes long after an order is created. When that volatility hits your WMS, everything gets expensive.
Without a Volatility Buffer
Result: WMS contamination, rework, and merchant blame.
With OrderShifter
Result: calm ops, clean data, protected reputation.
Six Pillars of End-to-End Fulfillment
OrderShifter isn't just another integration. It's a complete bi-directional bridge designed around the realities of 3PL operations.
The Volatility Buffer
Intentionally holds volatile orders (recent purchases, high-risk, likely edits) before releasing to WMS. Absorbs Shopify's chaos so your warehouse doesn't have to.
WMS-Ready Guarantee
Only validated, clean orders are released downstream. Address, SKU, inventory, and payment verified before anything touches your WMS.
Closed-Loop Fulfillment
Tracking numbers flow from WMS back to Shopify automatically. Customers get shipping notifications without manual work. The full cycle, fully automated.
Bi-Directional Inventory
Stock levels sync from WMS to Shopify via real-time API, scheduled batch, or CSV/SFTP. Multi-location support included. No more overselling.
Exception-First Operations
Prioritized exception queue (invalid address, inventory conflict, conflicting edits) with clear resolution paths—before issues become support tickets.
The Blame Shield
Full audit trail for every order change—from Shopify to shipment. Never get caught without documentation when a merchant asks "what happened?"

Built for the People Who Actually Feel the Pain

How The Complete Cycle Works
Six steps from Shopify order to customer notification—fully automated.
Step 1 - Smart Hold Window
Orders are held briefly while Shopify volatility stabilizes. Configurable per merchant or product type.
Step 2 - Exception Gate
Orders validated for addresses, SKUs, inventory, and business rules before proceeding.
Step 3 - Resolve + Approve
Exceptions surface in a prioritized queue with clear resolution paths—fix issues before they escalate.
Step 4 - Clean Export to WMS
Only "WMS-ready" orders are released—with full audit trail of every change along the way.
Step 5 - Fulfillment Sync
WMS sends tracking numbers back. OrderShifter pushes to Shopify automatically. Customer gets shipped notification—zero manual entry.
Tracking → Shopify → Customer
Step 6 - Inventory Sync
Stock levels flow from WMS to Shopify—real-time, batched, or via CSV/SFTP. Multi-location support. No more overselling.
WMS Stock → Shopify Inventory
What Your Merchants See
A clean, intuitive portal where merchants resolve exceptions in one place—no more email chains or phone tag

Custom WMS
What Ops Leaders Are Saying
From 3PLs who stopped firefighting and started operating.
"We used to spend half our Monday mornings fixing weekend order chaos. Now the exceptions are caught before they hit us. Mondays are actually manageable."
Sarah M., Director of Operations
Mid-size 3PL, CA
"The audit trail alone is worth it. When a merchant asks 'what happened to my order?' I can show them exactly what changed and when. No more blame games."
Marcus T., Warehouse Manager
Regional Fulfillment Center, TX
"Finally, an integration layer I don't have to babysit. Our old custom scripts broke constantly. OrderShifter just works—and updates itself."
Jennifer K., IT/Solutions Lead
Multi-client 3PL, NY

Common Questions
What ops teams ask before they commit.
OrderShifter doesn't replace your OMS or WMS—it protects them. We sit upstream, absorbing Shopify's volatility before it reaches your existing systems. Think of us as a filter, not a replacement. Your WMS receives only clean, validated orders.
You're not switching anything. OrderShifter adds a protective layer without disrupting your existing workflows. We sit between Shopify and your WMS, releasing orders only when they're ready. No migration, no rip-and-replace—just better protection.
That's exactly why OrderShifter takes a different approach. We don't promise speed—we promise stability. By intentionally holding volatile orders until they're ready, we eliminate the chaos that "real-time" integrations create. Our Operations Impact Guarantee means you see results or we make it right.
OrderShifter was built for 3PLs without dedicated dev teams. Low-code setup, managed updates, and white-glove onboarding mean your ops team can own it without technical overhead. We handle the integration complexity so you don't have to.
Start with your pilot. We'll help you measure reduction in rework, exceptions, and escalations during your first 60 days. Typical 3PLs see 40-60% reduction in order-related rework—that's real labor savings and merchant retention you can put in a spreadsheet.
No. OrderShifter is a buffer layer. If your WMS can accept orders via CSV, SFTP, or API, we can integrate without a rip-and-replace.
OrderShifter works alongside whatever apps your merchants use. We're the protective buffer that makes those tools safe for your warehouse—regardless of which specific app they've chosen.
You pay a one-time $5,000 onboarding license, then everything else is auto-billed monthly: upgrades, extra merchants, and premium modules—one consolidated invoice per month. No per-order fees, no surprises.
OrderShifter only accesses the minimum Shopify data required to process fulfillment—orders, products, inventory status. We don't replace your WMS or billing systems, and all data is handled securely with full audit trails.
Yes! Your WMS pushes tracking numbers to OrderShifter via API, CSV, or SFTP. We automatically push them to Shopify, which marks the order as fulfilled and sends the customer a shipping notification with tracking link—zero manual entry required.
Absolutely. OrderShifter supports real-time API pushes, scheduled batch updates, or CSV/SFTP file uploads. Multi-location inventory is supported, so if you have multiple warehouses mapped to Shopify locations, stock levels stay accurate everywhere. No more overselling.
