How do I connect ShipBob to Shopify?
Spark Shipping provides a pre-built integration between ShipBob and Shopify. To get started, create a Spark Shipping account, add ShipBob as a vendor using your API credentials or data feed details, then connect your Shopify store. Once linked, Spark Shipping handles product data, inventory, pricing, order routing, and tracking updates automatically — no custom development required.
Does Spark Shipping sync ShipBob inventory with Shopify automatically?
Yes. Spark Shipping pulls live inventory levels directly from ShipBob and pushes updates to your Shopify store on a scheduled interval. When a product goes out of stock or drops below a threshold you set, your Shopify listings update automatically to prevent overselling.
What ShipBob product data gets synced to Shopify?
Spark Shipping syncs the full ShipBob product catalog your dealer account is authorized for, including titles, descriptions, specifications, high-resolution images, UPCs, MPNs, brand and category data, and your dealer-specific pricing. If ShipBob provides Year/Make/Model fitment data, that is included as well. All product data flows directly into your Shopify store and stays up to date automatically.
Can I automate ShipBob order fulfillment on Shopify?
Yes. When a customer places an order on your Shopify store, Spark Shipping captures it and submits a fulfillment request directly to ShipBob. Once ShipBob ships the order, tracking information is pulled back and pushed to Shopify automatically, so your customer receives a shipping notification without any manual work on your end.
Can I sell ShipBob products alongside other suppliers on Shopify?
Absolutely. Spark Shipping supports multiple vendors on a single Shopify store. If the same product is available from ShipBob and another supplier, you can link both to one listing. Spark Shipping's Intelligent Order Routing then automatically selects the supplier with the best price or closest warehouse to the customer's shipping address for each order.
How does Spark Shipping handle ShipBob pricing on Shopify?
Spark Shipping pulls your dealer cost and MAP pricing directly from ShipBob and applies your custom pricing rules to calculate retail prices on Shopify. You can set fixed dollar markups, percentage margins, or tiered pricing structures. When ShipBob changes wholesale cost or MAP, your Shopify prices adjust automatically to protect your margins.
