Magento Connector
The Carriyo Magento Connector allows merchants to effortlessly generate shipments in Carriyo whenever an order is placed on their Magento store. The connector offers the following capabilities
- Create Shipments The connector allows merchants to create shipments in a draft state, giving them the flexibility to review and book shipments at their convenience. Alternatively, merchants can opt to automatically book all shipments upon creation.
- Update Shipments Any updates made to an order in Magento, such as address changes or status updates, are automatically reflected in the corresponding shipment in Carriyo, provided the shipment is not yet booked with a carrier. The connector also includes a button in the Magento Admin Order page for manual pushing of shipment updates to Carriyo.
- Cancel Shipments If an order is canceled in Magento, the corresponding shipment in Carriyo is also automatically canceled, provided that the shipment has not already been shipped.
- Order Status Updates The connector supports transmitting status updates from Carriyo back to Magento using webhooks. The statuses are automatically applied to the corresponding Magento orders based on your configuration, ensuring your order statuses stay synchronized.
