Shopify 3PL Integration. Your Store Connected to Our Warehouse in Minutes
When a customer checks out on your Shopify store, 6G Logistic can take it from there automatically. No one presses a button. No one exports a spreadsheet. Orders flow from your storefront directly into our warehouse management system the moment they’re placed.
This is what a real Shopify integration looks like. Not a workaround. Not a manual upload that someone remembers to do at the end of the day. A live, bidirectional API connection where your store and our warehouse stay perfectly in sync at all times.
How it Works
How the Shopify Integration Works
Step 1: We connect to your Shopify store via the Shopify API
We generate a private app connection or use Shopify's partner API, depending on your store's setup. This takes about 30 minutes on our end. You don't need to install any app from the Shopify App Store unless you prefer that method.
Step 2: Orders flow into our WMS automatically
The moment an order is placed on your store, it appears in our warehouse management system. Our team picks, packs, and ships without any manual step on your end.
Step 3: Tracking numbers sync back to Shopify automatically
When we ship an order, the tracking number is pushed back to Shopify immediately. Shopify then sends your customer the shipping notification email automatically. Your customer experience stays exactly the same.
Step 4: Inventory stays in sync in real time
As we pick items from your inventory, your Shopify stock levels decrement automatically. When returns are received and restocked, your inventory count updates. You always have an accurate count without touching a spreadsheet.
Step 5: You manage exceptions — we handle everything else
If an item is out of stock, backordered, or flagged, you see it in your Shopify dashboard. Everything else receiving, picking, packing, shipping, tracking happens automatically.
Need From You
What We Need From You to Set Up the Integration
- Your Shopify store URL (yourstore.myshopify.com)
- Admin API access token or partner API credentials (we walk you through this)
- Your product catalog exported as a CSV so we can pre-load your SKUs into our WMS before your first shipment arrives
- Confirmation of which locations in Shopify should be mapped to 6G Logistics (important if you sell from multiple locations)
- Your preferred shipping carriers and service levels per order type
Requires
What Shopify Requires for WMS Integration
Shopify supports 3PL connections in two ways. We use whichever works best for your store:
SHOPIFY PARTNER API (recommended): We connect as a fulfillment service partner directly to your Shopify admin. This is invisible to your customers and requires no app install. You grant us fulfillment permission in your Shopify settings under Settings → Shipping and Delivery → Custom Fulfillment Service.
SHOPIFY FULFILLMENT API: For stores on Shopify Plus or with complex multi-location setups, we use Shopify’s official Fulfillment API. This requires an admin API key with fulfillment write permissions.
Shopify settings
What you'll need to do in Shopify settings
- Settings → Shipping and Delivery → Custom Fulfillment Service → Add fulfillment service → Enter our name and callback URL (we provide this) → Enable “Tracking Support” and “Inventory Management”
We configure everything else on our end.

FAQs
Shopify Integration FAQ
No. We connect directly via Shopify’s API without requiring an app install from the Shopify App Store. The integration is configured entirely on the backend. Your storefront and customer experience are completely unaffected.
Yes. When we upload a tracking number to your order, Shopify automatically triggers your store’s shipping confirmation email. Your customer gets notified exactly as they would if you were fulfilling the order yourself.
Yes. We can be set up as a fulfillment service for one or multiple locations in your Shopify store. For brands using Shopify’s multi-location inventory, we work with you to map which location routes to which of our four SoCal warehouses.
Our WMS flags the order as having a stockout and you are notified immediately in your Shopify dashboard. We can be configured to either hold the order or split-ship available items, depending on your preference.
Most Shopify integrations go live within one to two business days of our first call. The actual technical setup takes about 30 minutes the rest of the time is onboarding your product catalog and configuring your shipping rules.
