Benefits of the Ankorstore x Shippingbo connector
Less data re-entry. Smoother operations.
Ankorstore integrates into your logistics execution in Shippingbo. Your teams spend less time switching between tools and more time processing orders.
Cleaner stock, therefore less friction
You retain control over stock updates sent to Ankorstore, helping limit discrepancies that complicate sales, shipping and customer service.
Logistics that hold up as volumes increase
The Ankorstore connector delivers its real value as activity accelerates: you prevent channel growth from creating manual work, delays and confusion.
A simpler process, even for less standard use cases
Batches, SKUs, exceptions and multiple channels: Shippingbo helps structure these flows so operations remain clearer and more robust.
What is synchronised between Ankorstore and Shippingbo
Synchronization is automatic. Some behaviors depend on order status and enabled options
| Data | Direction | Trigger and/or frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Accepted Ankorstore orders | Ankorstore Shippingbo | Automatically after order retrieval is enabled |
| Order completion | Shippingbo Ankorstore | Automatically when completion is triggered in Shippingbo |
| Available stock | Shippingbo Ankorstore | Automatically according to stock-update configuration |
| Product references / SKU | Ankorstore Shippingbo | At connection, then continuously in operation |
Connection steps: Connect Ankorstore to Shippingbo in just a few steps
-
1.Create your private app in Ankorstore
From Settings > Integrations > Private apps, create a “Shippingbo” app and retrieve the Client ID and Client Secret.

-
3.Enable the flows required for your use case

4.Test before going live
Validate your settings, particularly if you manage batches or specific SKU mappings. When moving from pre-production to production, create a new Ankorstore connector.
The limitations of Ankorstore without Shippingbo
Without Shippingbo
- Centralise Ankorstore orders: Data re-entry, scattered information and wasted time
- Make multichannel stock more reliable: Discrepancies, errors and customer service issues
- Manage batches and SKUs without friction: Fragile mapping and complex use cases
- Absorb rising volumes: Processes reach capacity quickly
- Handle exceptions quickly: Lack of visibility and slow processing
- Integrate Ankorstore into omnichannel operations: Channel managed separately and growing complexity
With Shippingbo
- One flow, fewer manual steps
- Cleaner stock and more confident selling
- Greater control and fewer blockages
- Smoother operations and greater capacity
- Clear visibility and faster processing
- Unified management and simpler day-to-day operations
Advanced use cases: compatibility is validated before activation
The connection is self-service for standard use cases. If you have a more complex Ankorstore configuration, we validate the setup with you before you go live.
Ankorstore integrated into an omnichannel operating model
Ankorstore is not your only channel. Your teams need to manage this flow alongside other marketplaces, your e-commerce website or other order sources without multiplying manual steps. Shippingbo lets you process Ankorstore in an environment already structured to manage multiple flows. You reduce duplication, maintain a clearer view of activity and avoid managing Ankorstore separately from the rest.
Batches, SKUs and quantity logic
On Ankorstore, batch logic does not always match the way your logistics organisation works. The correct processing depends on the mapping between SKUs, batches and line-item quantities. The connector includes dedicated configuration to adapt order retrieval to your batch logic. This lets you align Ankorstore more cleanly with your real operation rather than forcing manual processing.
Partial management of order statuses and exceptions
Not all orders or statuses are retrieved in the same way. Based on your inputs, only orders with the brand_confirmed status are retrieved, while shipping_labels_generated is not. Shippingbo provides a clear framework for what the connector actually manages. Your teams know which flows are integrated and which are not, so they can secure the process without relying on vague assumptions.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Ankorstore to Shippingbo?
The connection is completed in a few steps: create a private app in Ankorstore, retrieve your Client ID and Client Secret, then enter these credentials in the Shippingbo Ankorstore connector. Once the service is enabled, you can configure order retrieval, order completion and stock updates according to your needs.
How does Shippingbo manage Ankorstore stock when a large B2B order arrives?
Shippingbo relies on centralised master stock. When a Ankorstore order is validated, stock is updated in Shippingbo and then sent back to Ankorstore. This helps keep stock levels more consistent between Ankorstore and your other sales channels and limits discrepancies as volumes increase.
Can different carrier rules be applied to Ankorstore orders?
Yes. Shippingbo lets you apply shipping rules based on the order source, weight, contents or other logistics criteria. In practice, you can process a Ankorstore order using a different carrier logic from your B2C orders, keeping the process better suited to your B2B flows.
Is the shipping-status update on Ankorstore automatic?
Yes. As soon as the shipment is processed in Shippingbo, the status update can be sent automatically to Ankorstore. This removes manual shipment-confirmation steps and keeps operational tracking cleaner.
Can Ankorstore-specific batches and SKUs be managed in Shippingbo?
Yes. The connector includes specific configuration to adapt order retrieval to your batch logic. Depending on your setup, you can choose whether to use the quantity field to correctly match Ankorstore order lines to your SKUs and logistics organisation.
Can specific shipping documents be created for Ankorstore orders?
Yes. Shippingbo lets you customise shipping documents for B2B flows. You can create more detailed delivery notes or packing lists with the information your teams and business customers need.
