Order Processing & Shipping Enhancements

This release focuses on giving you more control over how orders flow through your system, with particular attention to B2B workflows and multi-warehouse operations.

Automatic Product Import During Order Creation

When orders are created by an external system (like Shopify) and include products that don’t yet exist in Endless Commerce, the system will now automatically import them. No more blocked orders due to missing SKUs.

  • Added automatic import job queuing for missing products
  • Import failures now create order alerts instead of blocking order creation
  • Added logging entries for import success/failure tracking

Shipping Method Mapping

When an order is created by an integration, there’s typically a customer-friendly shipping method like “Free fast shipping” that fulfillment services don’t recognize. You can now map these methods directly from the order page.

Example: Free fast shipping → UPS Ground

This has been possible through the data mapper tool in integration settings, but is now available directly inside an order while choosing a shipping method.

External Warehouse Controls

We’ve added the ability to choose whether items will be allocated to an external warehouse or not. This setting is configurable for each sales channel and can be overwritten for individual orders.

Allow external assignment if: the sales channel has direct connections to external warehouses and you’re not ready for Endless to participate in active order management.

Disable external assignment if: the sales channel is B2B and you want to ensure items are only assigned to managed warehouses with fulfillment integrations.

Fulfillment Without Payment

New controls let you choose whether orders can be fulfilled before payment is received. Configure this per sales channel or adjust for individual orders.

  • Allow fulfillment without payment: Great for B2B customers where payment comes later
  • Require payment first: Standard for DTC channels

Other Improvements

  • Removed the legacy shipping calculator due to technical issues — a more powerful replacement is coming
  • Added detailed order item statuses for better visibility into the allocation process
