About this Product
If you outsource fulfillment to a 3PL or warehouse partner, the daily reality is usually a CSV emailed back and forth, stock that drifts out of sync, and tracking numbers pasted into orders by hand. The 3PL & Fulfillment Connector for Magento 2 closes that loop so your store and your fulfillment partner trade data automatically.
This is a build-to-order extension — not an instant Adobe Commerce Marketplace download. ECOSIRE builds it as a proper module under app/code/Ecosire/ThreePlConnector, maps it to your specific 3PL's file layout and transport, then installs and configures it on your Magento install (Open Source or Adobe Commerce). You get clean, upgrade-safe code rather than a hand-maintained import script.
What it does: - Order export — a sales_order_save_after observer (or a cron sweep over a configurable status) serializes paid/processing orders into the format your 3PL expects and drops them at the agreed endpoint. - Inventory sync — scheduled cron jobs ingest on-hand quantities from the warehouse feed and write them through Magento's MSI service contracts (SourceItemsSaveInterface), so multi-source and single-source stores both stay accurate. - Tracking import — shipment confirmations create the Magento shipment, attach the carrier track, and trigger the customer notification email. - Configurable formats & transport — CSV, XML or fixed-width/EDI-style files over SFTP, REST or the 3PL's API, set per your provider.
Built with Magento conventions throughout: di.xml wiring, plugins/interceptors where core behavior needs extending, admin ACL for the configuration section, and structured logging for every exchange. The result is a connector you can audit, upgrade and trust — supported by the team that built it.
What you get
- A custom Magento 2 module (app/code/Ecosire/ThreePlConnector) built and field-mapped to your specific 3PL/warehouse spec
- Installation and configuration on your Magento environment (staging first, then production) by ECOSIRE
- Order-export, inventory-sync and tracking-import flows wired to your provider's transport (SFTP / REST / API)
- Admin configuration section with ACL, credentials and field mappings set up and verified
- Cron jobs registered via crontab.xml with frequencies agreed for your order volume
- End-to-end test run on staging against your 3PL's real or sandbox endpoint, with sample order, inventory and tracking exchanges verified
- Setup and operations documentation plus a post-launch support and bug-fix window
Who this is for
Outsourced-fulfillment merchant
A Magento store owner who ships through a 3PL or third-party warehouse and is tired of emailing CSVs and pasting tracking numbers. Wants orders to reach the warehouse and tracking to reach customers without manual touch.
Operations / fulfillment manager
Owns the daily order-to-ship workflow and is responsible for stock accuracy. Needs reliable scheduled exchange, clear logs when something fails, and no oversells from inventory drift between Magento and the warehouse.
Magento agency or solution partner
Building or maintaining a client's store and needs a connector for a 3PL that has no off-the-shelf Marketplace extension — or one that doesn't match the client's file format. Wants clean, upgrade-safe code they can hand off and support.

Frequently Asked Questions about 3PL & Fulfillment Connector
How long until the connector is live on my store?
Because each 3PL has its own file format and transport, this is built to order. Typical delivery is about one working week from the point we have your provider's spec and sandbox/SFTP credentials: we scope the mapping, build the module, test end-to-end on your staging environment, then install on production. A standard, well-documented 3PL (clean CSV/REST) lands at the faster end; bespoke EDI or an undocumented API takes longer. We confirm a firm timeline after reviewing your provider's integration docs.
What do I get for ongoing support and updates after launch?
Every build includes a post-launch support window for bug fixes and configuration tweaks. Because the module follows Magento conventions (di.xml, service contracts, no core hacks), it survives Magento and Adobe Commerce upgrades cleanly. If your 3PL changes their file format or endpoint, or you migrate providers, we offer paid maintenance to remap and retest. You hold the source code, so any Magento developer can also maintain it.
Does this work with Adobe Commerce as well as Magento Open Source?
Yes. The connector is standard Magento 2 code and runs on both Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce (on-prem or cloud). On Adobe Commerce Cloud we follow the cloud deploy model — the module ships in your repository and deploys through your pipeline rather than being installed by hand. Inventory sync uses Magento MSI service contracts, so multi-source (multiple warehouses) setups are supported.
Which 3PLs and file formats do you support?
We map to whatever your provider uses. Transport can be SFTP file drop/pickup, REST, or the 3PL's own API; formats can be CSV, XML, or fixed-width / EDI-style. We've built against common patterns used by providers like ShipBob and ShipHero as well as generic warehouse/WMS feeds. If your 3PL publishes an integration spec, we can almost certainly connect to it — send it over and we'll confirm before you buy.
Will this cause overselling or duplicate shipments?
No — those are exactly the failure modes it's designed to prevent. Inventory is written through Magento's stock service contracts on each scheduled pull, so on-hand quantities track the warehouse. Order export and tracking import are idempotent: each order is flagged once exported and each shipment once confirmed, so a re-run or retry never double-exports an order or re-creates a shipment. Failed lines are isolated and logged rather than silently dropped.
