Send New Shopify Orders to Your 3PL via API
Many 3PLs, suppliers, and ERPs take orders through their own API but have no Shopify app. This workflow sends each new Shopify order, or only the items that ship from that partner, straight to their API, then tags the order in Shopify so you know it was sent. No more exporting CSVs or re-typing orders into a vendor portal.

FAQs
What if my partner's API uses a username and password instead of an API key?
Use MESA's API step with Basic Auth or OAuth instead of API Key. The rest of the workflow stays the same.
What happens if the partner's API returns an error?
The task fails in MESA and the order isn't tagged, so it's easy to spot and re-run once the problem is fixed.
Can tracking numbers come back into Shopify?
Yes, with a second workflow. On a schedule, ask the partner's API for shipped orders, then create a fulfillment with the tracking number on the matching Shopify order.
