What it does
When to use it
More information
Sync Start Date
Orders from this date will import into B360
Use todayโ€™s date unless your warehouse hasnโ€™t started fulfilling yet
This is the date youโ€™d like to start syncing orders to Borderless360. It is specific to onboarding.
Order Import Delay
Delays order sync to allow edits/cancellations
Optional โ€“ use if you need more processing time
Inventory Sync
Syncs stock levels from B360 to Shopify
Enable after inventory is received and confirmed

โฑ Scheduled Order Sync & Import Delay

Two ways to manage order timing:

  • Import Delay: Hold order sync for 1hr, 2hr, or 1 day to allow changes before fulfillment
  • Scheduled Sync: Set exact times for order sync (e.g., every 4 hours or just before warehouse cut-off)
ย 

8. ๐Ÿ“ฆ Extra Options & Advanced Settings

  • Skip product titles โ€“ Exclude specific products (like โ€œBagโ€ or โ€œGift Noteโ€) from syncing
  • Country filter โ€“ Only import orders from specific countries
  • Safety stock โ€“ Automatically set stock to 0 if below a minimum level
  • Partially fulfilled orders โ€“ Supported, but bundles cannot be partially fulfilled
  • Tracking events โ€“ Syncs from B360 back to Shopify, even for custom couriers
  • Disable integration โ€“ Pauses sync (orders already created will still fulfill)
ย 

9. ๐Ÿงฎ Managing Customs Values & Discounts

For bundles, use the Bundle Customs Value option to distribute declared value evenly across items, especially when discounts are applied.

ย 

10. ๐Ÿš€ What Happens Next?

Once connected:

  • Products and orders will sync
  • If anything is missing (like product weights or HS codes), weโ€™ll help you update them during the next step
  • You can begin testing your first shipments!
ย 

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Troubleshooting Tips

  • โ— Duplicate SKUs: Ensure no two products have the same SKU in Shopify.
  • ๐ŸŸก Stuck Orders: Orders will pause in "Action Required" if the product is missing weight or SKU isnโ€™t synced.
  • โš ๏ธ Bundles: If you use bundles, special sync rules may apply. Let your onboarding manager know.

๐Ÿ” Managing Multiple Shopify Stores

You can add multiple Shopify stores to your Borderless360 account.

๐Ÿ’ก

Tip: Use unique order prefixes for each store to avoid confusion.


๐Ÿ“ฆ Inventory Sync Options

Once inventory sync is enabled, you can choose:

  1. Default Borderless360 Location โ€“ Combines multiple warehouses into one inventory total for Shopify.
  1. Shopify Location Sync โ€“ Maps specific B360 warehouses to Shopify locations.
  1. Multi-location Sync โ€“ Advanced option for Shopify Plus, mapping regional warehouses separately (e.g. US, EU, AU).
