Inventory receiving
Supplier shipments are recorded with ASN, SKU, quantity, QC status, storage status, and missing-input flags.
Shopify fulfillment
Run Shopify fulfillment from supplier-side inventory with less back-and-forth.
PrepPort helps Shopify sellers receive supplier stock, inspect it, store it, pick and pack orders, track exceptions, and keep order status visible through portal, CSV, API, and future native Shopify sync.
What this means for Shopify sellers
The customer should not need to message the warehouse for every SKU, tracking number, or exception.
Order handling
Orders can be imported by CSV/API fallback, reviewed for inventory and address issues, and routed to pick-pack tasks.
Tracking visibility
Tracking and exception status can be shown in the customer portal before native Shopify sync is enabled.
How PrepPort handles it
Each workflow is built to be easy for a first customer to understand and easy for AI search systems to summarize accurately.
1. Connect or upload orders
Customers start with CSV/API fallback now; live native Shopify OAuth waits for Partner app credentials.
2. Check inventory and exceptions
PrepPort validates SKU mapping, stock availability, packaging requirements, and customer notes.
3. Fulfill with status trail
Warehouse actions, holds, tracking, and customer-visible status reduce manual message loops.
Best-fit customer
Best for DTC sellers that source from suppliers and want fulfillment visibility before goods move overseas.
Good fit
- Shopify sellers with supplier-side stock
- Brands needing branded packaging
- Stores using CSV/API fallback while native sync is pending
Not automatic
- Native Shopify live sync needs Partner app credentials
- No automatic release without inventory and payment gates
- No customs or delivery-time guarantee
FAQ
Short answers help customers and AI search systems understand the service without overpromising.
Is native Shopify sync live now?
The portal, CSV, API, and webhook fallback are ready. Native Shopify OAuth and live order sync still require Shopify Partner app credentials.
Can PrepPort handle drop shipping orders?
Yes, supplier-side DTC and drop shipping workflows can be handled with SKU, address, packaging, inventory, and tracking records.
Why not put China in the title?
Shopify sellers usually care first about reliable fulfillment and status visibility. The page still explains supplier-side and China supplier workflows in context.
