Shipping Integrators

What are Shipping Integrators?

The Shipping Integrators module in XoroERP allows users to connect external shipping and fulfillment services with their XoroERP account. These integrations enable shipping-related capabilities such as live shipping rates, batch label printing, and order tracking, depending on the shipping integrator being configured.

The module supports multiple shipping integrators, including 2Ship, ShipStation V2, Freightcom, eShipper, and FedEx. The credentials and configuration required to establish an integration may vary depending on the selected shipping integrator.

For example, when connecting 2Ship, users first authorize XoroERP to share the required data with the integration and then provide the App ID and Consumer Secret supplied by the client. Other shipping integrators may require different credential details.

To access the Shipping Integrators module, go to: Menu → Apps → Shipping Integrators

Accessing Shipping Integrators

The Shipping Integrators page contains two tabs:

• Connected Shipping Integrators: Displays the shipping integrations that are currently connected to the XoroERP account.

  • Each connected integration displays its name and a brief description of the shipping capabilities it provides. For example, a connected Ship Station V2 integration can be used for order processing, shipping label generation, and customer communication.

  • The Delete option is available for each connected integration. Users can use this option to remove the existing integration from XoroERP.

• Add Shipping Integrators: Displays the shipping integrators available for connection.

  • Each available integrator includes an Add option. Selecting Add initiates the connection process for the respective shipping service.

  • The credentials and information required during setup depend on the selected shipping integrator. For example, the 2Ship integration requires an App ID and Consumer Secret provided by the client.

Shipping Integrator Connection Workflow

The general workflow for connecting a shipping integrator is as follows:

Step 1: Go to Menu → Apps → Shipping Integrators. Open the Add Shipping Integrators tab and click Add for the required shipping integrator.

Step 2: The system redirects you to the XoroERP authentication page. Enter the required Xoro ID and Password, and click Submit to authorize the integration.

Step 3: Review the authorization details displayed by XoroERP. The page indicates that the selected application will be permitted to access the required XoroERP data. Click Install to authorize the integration.

Step 4: After authorization, click Connect To [Shipping Integrator] to begin configuring the shipping integration.

Step 5: Enter the credentials required by the selected shipping integrator. The fields displayed on this screen depend on the integration being configured.

For example, for 2Ship, enter the App ID and Consumer Secret provided by the client, and click Sign In.

Step 6: After the credentials are successfully validated, the shipping integrator is connected to XoroERP and appears under the Connected Shipping Integrators tab.

The shipping integrators available for connection depend on the integrators enabled on the client's instance. If a required shipping integrator is not available, contact Xoro Support for assistance.
