Parcelninja

Parcelninja is a third party logistics (3PL) service that will handle the warehousing and fulfillment of your ecommerce products.

Stock2Shop can integrate your supported B2B and/or B2C ecommerce sales channels with Parcelninja using their feature-rich API or plugin. This will ensure that your ecommerce platforms show accurate stock levels that exist in the warehouse, and orders placed by your customers will trigger automatic fulfillment by Parcelninja.

Raising fulfillments

Once an online order has been validated, either by your ecommerce sales channel (in the case of retail) or by your ERP / accounting system (in the case of wholesale), Stock2Shop can send an automatic fulfillment request to Parcelninja. When an order goes out for delivery, Parcelninja will return a fulfillment notification which can be used to update the status of the order in various sales channels.
