What Synchron handles

Operational synchronization around Shopify

Synchron focuses on the marketplace operations that follow a sale: importing orders, keeping fulfillment and inventory aligned, handling invoices and refunds, and giving teams visibility when a workflow needs attention.

Synchron is designed for merchants that already know how they want to manage catalog, pricing, and listings, and need a dependable way to connect marketplace orders with the rest of their Shopify operations.

Buyer guide

What to consider beyond catalog and listing management

The challenge is not only receiving a marketplace order. It is keeping Shopify, the marketplace platform, fulfillment tools, and finance workflows aligned throughout the order lifecycle.

The operational challenge

Publishing products is only the beginning. Once customers start buying, teams need reliable order intake, acceptance, routing, fulfillment updates, finance workflows, monitoring, and exception handling.

Connect the full order lifecycle

Marketplace operations need more than product data. Orders must be imported, matched, fulfilled, invoiced, refunded, and reconciled across the systems involved in each sale.

Order import

Marketplace orders should arrive in Shopify with marketplace context, customer and line-item data, status mapping, acknowledgments, and routing information intact.

Shipment and tracking updates

When fulfillment happens in Shopify, a warehouse, or a 3PL, supported tracking numbers, carrier details, shipment states, and cancellations should be sent back to the marketplace.

Refund and invoice handling

Refunds, credits, invoice events, and cancellations should stay connected to the same marketplace order lifecycle instead of being reconciled manually in separate tools.

Inventory updates

Inventory updates should stay aligned with the same seller systems and marketplace workflows used to process orders.
