Integration with the Sendoso Marketplace Channel

This is where the vendor Shopify store will integrate with the Sendoso Marketplace Channel by performing a handshake between the two platforms. Sendoso will not appear on your website or vice versa.

This is a communication channel for the orders and payment information to be fed across to your store.

Please connect with the Marketplace Vendor Partnerships Team {marketplace@sendoso.com} to set up your integration.

Order Flow Process

Customers view your products in our online catalog. They can set individual products as part of a single send touch or multi-touch campaign which can be sent repeatedly and frequently by any team member.

Orders are placed on the Sendoso platform and are sent directly to the vendor checkout via the integration

All orders are paid in full and completed on the vendor’s side.

The vendor will know it’s from Sendoso as the customer will be “Sendoso Direct” and the order will say it is from Sendoso Marketplace.

The vendor fulfills the order as per their usual fulfillment process, including a personalised gift note from the customer to their end recipient.

Once the vendor completes the order as fulfilled and inputs the tracking information, the Sendoso API pulls all this information back into the platform and will automatically update the sender through every stage of the delivery process.

The tracking information must be completed here on the vendor order page.
