This article walks through the configuration of the connection between 3PL Warehouse Manager and Volusion, which allows for the following information to be synced:

1. Orders from Volusion to 3PL Warehouse Manager
2. Inventory numbers from 3PL Warehouse Manager to Volusion
3. Tracking numbers from 3PL Warehouse Manager to orders in Volusion

Set up the shopping cart connection

In order to connect 3PL Warehouse Manager to Volusion, you must fill out our API Integration Survey.

After you submit the survey, you will receive a DocuSign from your Customer Success Manager within one business day. Once you complete the DocuSign, our Professional Services team will begin the cart setup process. These requests are typically completed 24–48 hours after receiving all the necessary information.

Update orders via 3PL Warehouse Manager

Once 3PL Warehouse Manager has received and processed the Volusion orders, shipping and closing the orders will send the tracking numbers and mark the order as complete in Volusion.

1. In 3PL Warehouse Manager, navigate to Orders > Find Orders.
   
2. Select the order(s) from the grid that you need to close and mark as shipped. Use < Ctrl > or < Shift > on your keyboard to select multiple orders.
3. Hover over Manage, then click Ship and close.
4. Complete the appropriate fields under 'Routing Information'.
5. If needed, enter any 'Additional Charges' that may have accumulated—each charge will display in the grid. For multiple orders, be sure to specify whether you wish to 'Apply Charges' separately to each order or divide the charges across all selected orders evenly.
   

   Please note that charges added here will be in addition to all automatic and manual charges that have already been applied to the selected orders.

    
6. Click Ship and Close. The orders in your Volusion store will reflect the latest changes.

Set up event notifications

When Volusion orders are created or fail to import into the system, you can set up automated emails to notify the desired parties. To enable these notifications, complete the following steps:

Please note that the error log may also be utilized to understand the cause of an error or rejection—see Using the Customer Error Log for further instructions.

3. Under the 'Email Recipients' column, enter the email addresses in the relevant field for each event you would like your customer to receive a notification for. If using multiple recipients for one event, separate them with semicolons.
