Order data is transferred in a controlled manner.
Orders ready for shipment can be selected based on defined status, store, and process rules. This ensures that only relevant orders are processed for shipping.

Shipping automation that fits the commerce architecture
Magento and Adobe Commerce are often operated with ERP, PIM, WMS, multiple store views, and custom modules. Therefore, the shipping integration must complement existing data flows, not bypass them.
Sources and quantities remain traceable.
With multi-source inventory, the source, reserved quantity, and shipped items can be included in the shipment creation.
Shipment is more than a shipping label
Labels, tracking information, and shipped quantities are linked to the Commerce shipment. This ensures that the operational status remains consistent in the shop backend.
Targeted reduction of complexity
Why generic shipping plugins reach their limits in individual Magento projects
Individual attributes, multiple warehouse sources, partial shipments, third-party modules and custom order statuses make Magento projects powerful – but also demanding for standardized shipping solutions.
International Package connects the central shipping platform with your existing commerce logic. Individual data flows, mapping rules, and feedback can be configured via our Shipping API depict.
1
No blanket order acceptance
Status, payment, store view and fulfillment readiness determine when an order can be shipped.
2
No lost source attribution
With multiple warehouse sources, it remains traceable from which stock an item was actually shipped.
3
No false full shipment notification
Partial shipments and multi-package shipments are processed as genuine partial shipments.
4
No tracking data outside of Commerce
Carrier and tracking numbers are stored in the shipment and remain available for backend and customer account.
Integration scope
Features of the Magento and Adobe Commerce shipping integration
The implementation will be tailored to your Commerce version, modules, store views, warehouse structure, carrier rules, and international shipping scenarios.
Filter orders by process status
Only orders that meet the agreed shipping criteria will be selected for further processing.
Consider extension attributes
Project-specific additional fields can be included in the mapping and shipping decision.
Compare carriers and services
Package dimensions, weight, destination country, price and transit time form the basis for service selection.
Create labels and documents
Shipping labels, invoices and available export documents are created from the existing order and merchandise data.
Create shipments and sub-shipments
Shipped items and quantities are correctly assigned to the order, even in the case of multiple packages or partial quantities.
Add tracking to shipment
Carrier, title and tracking number can be stored with the respective shipment and made visible to customers.
Magento-specific shipping logic
Orders, shipments, and inventory are separate process objects.
A robust integration must respect the internal commerce logic. An order, a physical shipment, and an inventory transaction are not technically the same thing.
Sales order as a commercial starting point
The order contains items, addresses, payment status, and other business data. However, it is not yet a physically confirmed shipment.
Shipment as proof of actual dispatch
Only the shipment record documents which items and quantities were actually sent. Tracking information therefore belongs with this item.
Inventory Management for Sources and Balances
In multi-source setups, shipment creation must work together with the correct source selection and inventory posting.
From order status to shipment
This is how the Magento shipping integration works
The process follows the commerce logic and supplements it with carrier selection, label creation, export and tracking.
Authorize integration
REST access, roles, and required resources are securely granted to the connected application.
Select orders that can be shipped
Status, positions, addresses, store view and project-specific attributes are checked.
Source and shipping service determine
Warehouse source, package data and carrier rules are all factored into the operational shipping decision.
Label and Shipment generate
The shipping label is created and the actual quantities shipped are recorded as shipments.
Add tracking
Carrier and tracking number are assigned to the shipment and are available to Commerce and the customer account.
REST, GraphQL and Extensions
Technically compatible with Adobe Commerce PaaS, Cloud and Magento Open Source
Adobe Commerce provides REST and GraphQL web APIs. The REST interface is particularly relevant for backend processes such as order, invoice, and shipment management.
Adobe documents the complete order lifecycle via REST, including orders, invoices, and shipments. For shipment creation, Adobe recommends the order-based Ship endpoint, depending on the use case; for multi-source inventory, source and quantities are also taken into account.
Architectural note:
Available endpoints differ between Adobe Commerce PaaS, Adobe Commerce as a Cloud Service, and Magento Open Source. Additionally, installed modules and extension attributes can extend the data model. Therefore, the integration is always tested against the specific instance and its REST reference.
Suitable commerce projects
Who is the Magento shipping interface suitable for?
The connection is particularly relevant for retailers with complex fulfillment structures, international shipments, or a high degree of customization of the commerce platform.

For companies with high order volumes, individual modules and clearly defined fulfillment processes.
Multi-source dealer
For shops with multiple storage sources, distributed inventories, and complex source selection.
International B2B and B2C shops
For retailers who need to map EU and third-country shipments, including shipping and export documents.
ERP and WMS-centric architectures
For companies where commerce, inventory management, warehousing and shipping platforms need to work synchronously.

FAQ
Questions about Magento and Adobe Commerce shipping integration
The specific scope depends on the Commerce edition, version, installed modules, warehouse structure, and desired shipping processes.
Is the integration suitable for Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce?
Generally, yes. Both platforms provide commerce web APIs. However, available endpoints and features may differ depending on the edition, operating model, and version.
How are orders from Magento imported?
Shipping-relevant orders can be retrieved via the REST API using defined search and status criteria. Project-specific fields can be mapped as needed.
What is the difference between an order and a shipment?
The order represents the commercial transaction. The shipment documents which items and quantities were actually shipped and contains the associated tracking information.
Can partial shipments be processed?
Yes. Shipments can contain subsets of an order. This allows for the differentiated representation of items that are not fully available or multiple shipping packages.
Does the integration support multi-source inventory?
Yes. With appropriate setups, storage sources, available quantities, and source selection can be included in shipment creation.
Are tracking numbers stored in Magento?
Tracking information can be added to each shipment. Adobe Commerce also makes this data available in the customer account and order history.
Can individual order statuses be taken into account?
Yes. Adobe Commerce allows additional statuses within existing order states. Which statuses trigger or block the shipping process is defined in the integration concept.
How are custom modules and extension attributes handled?
The specific commerce instance is technically analyzed. Relevant extensions and additional fields can be included in mapping, filtering, and feedback.
Can international shipping documents be generated?
Yes. Depending on the shipping situation, commercial or pro forma invoices as well as other available export documents can be prepared from order, product and customs data.
How is the integration tested and updated?
Before going live, order selection, shipment creation, source booking, labeling, and tracking are tested in a test environment. The integration should be revalidated after any Commerce updates.
