eShipper Integration in Wix

Integrating eShipper with a Wix store involves a process where information about a user's order from the Wix shop is transmitted to eShipper's system for fulfillment. This integration is primarily facilitated through the use of system APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), which enable the two systems to communicate and exchange data efficiently.

A key component in this integration is the use of Velo by Wix. Velo is a full-stack development platform that allows for more advanced customization and functionality on Wix websites. By utilizing Velo, developers can write custom code to automate the process of sending order details from the Wix store to eShipper.

Here's a general overview of how the integration works:

1. Order Placement: When a customer places an order on the Wix store, the order details, including items purchased, customer information, and shipping details, are captured within the Wix system.

2. API Communication: Using Velo, a custom script is written that triggers when an order is placed. This script is responsible for preparing the order data in a format that is compatible with eShipper's API.

3. Data Transmission: The prepared order data is then sent to eShipper through their API. This step involves secure data transmission over the internet, ensuring that the customer's information and order details are safely communicated to eShipper.

4. Order Fulfillment by eShipper: Once eShipper receives the order data, they proceed with the fulfillment process. This includes picking, packing, and shipping the items to the customer.

5. Status Updates and Confirmation: After the order is shipped, eShipper can send updates back to the Wix store, such as tracking information, through the API. This information can then be relayed to the customer, keeping them informed about their order status.

This integration streamlines the process of order fulfillment, reducing the need for manual data entry and ensuring that the information is transferred quickly and accurately. It enhances the efficiency of the online store's operations and improves the overall customer experience.
