An e-commerce platform integration is when you connect your website with a third-party application using an API (application programming interface). As a 3PL (third-party logistics) provider, Bamboo connects its systems with the sales channel of an online business to take responsibility for the order fulfilment operation. The integration process can involve connecting with one or multiple sales channels, depending on how many platforms the e-commerce business uses. Once an integration is complete, orders will be automatically received by the fulfilment provider, who will pick and pack the orders, before they are shipped to the end-customers.

Many 3PL fulfilment providers work with online retailers that sell on more than one channel or marketplace, but you will need to do your research to find the right solution for your e-commerce business. At Bamboo, we can integrate quickly and seamlessly with multiple sales channels to begin fulfilling your online orders.

Bamboo integrates with the most popular sales channels, including: Shopify, Amazon, Magento, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Etsy, eBay. If you don’t see your channel listed here, don’t worry! Our dedicated team of in-house developers can also provide a bespoke solution that works for your e-commerce business.

The length of time required to integrate successfully with your sales channels depends on the number and type of platforms your e-commerce business uses. We aim to complete channel integrations within a few hours as part of our Easy Onboarding process.

Every 3PL provider will follow its own process for integrating with one or multiple e-commerce channels. At Bamboo, we perform integrations during our Easy Onboarding process when you agree to partner with us. Our Easy Onboarding team will work closely with you to perform the integration quickly and seamlessly. Once the Easy Onboarding process is complete, you can start selling to your customers. Each order will be automatically received by our platform, which acts as the “back office” for your sales channels. Here is where you can view, track, and manage orders as they move through the fulfilment process. Orders will be picked, packed, and shipped from Bamboo with 99.999% accuracy, ensuring your customers receive the right items on time and in excellent condition.

Yes, the system supports simultaneous integrations with multiple sales channels, allowing you to manage orders and inventory seamlessly across all platforms.
