Integration
Shopify + GLS
Send parcels with GLS straight from your Shopify orders. The address on the order turns into a label, and the tracking number comes back to the order card.
What you get
Sending and tracking parcels for the Shopify + GLS pairing
A parcel ready right after payment
Prepare a parcel supported by your carrier after the order arrives. Sending the tracking number back depends on the connected channel's capabilities.
GLS courier from the order list
Prepare GLS parcels for delivery to an address from the order list. Collection-point delivery is not supported by this connector.
A label without retyping the address
The address, the phone number and the chosen delivery method come off the order onto the label automatically, so you never copy them into the carrier's panel.
Single and batch printing
Pull a label for one parcel or for a whole batch of orders at once, and with a configured printer the print starts without downloading a file.
Tracking comes back to the order
We save the parcel number and the delivery status on the order, so you check them without opening the carrier's site.
Carrier selection rules
You decide which order goes with which service, by weight, by amount, by country or by the delivery method the buyer picked.

Why this integration?
Shopify exposes the delivery address and shipping method on the order. Once the webhook arrives and the data is checked, a supported parcel can be prepared. NavyFlame prepares GLS parcels for delivery to an address through the connected API. This connector does not select or search collection points. NavyFlame joins the two sides: it pulls orders from Shopify, prepares the parcel with GLS and sends the tracking number back to the sales channel. This integration does not issue invoices and does not sync warehouse levels, that is what the separate integrations with an accounting system and with an ERP system are for.
Frequently asked questions
In NavyFlame you connect your GLS account and your Shopify account, set the shipping rules and send from the order list. The address and the chosen delivery method come off the order onto the label, and the tracking number comes back to the order card.
Yes, if the service is in your contract with the carrier. We carry the collection amount from the order onto the parcel.
Yes. We fetch statuses on a schedule and save them on the order, so you see them without opening the carrier's site.
No. The Shopify + GLS pairing handles shipping: the label, the despatch and the tracking. Invoices are issued by a separate integration with an accounting system, which you connect alongside this one.
No, that is what a separate integration with an ERP system does. Shipping uses the orders that are already in NavyFlame and does not change what the warehouse shows.
