ShipHero Integration FAQs: keep your warehouse running, add real multichannel OMS
ShipHero is one of the most-used warehouse management systems in ecommerce, moving a meaningful share of all US ecommerce shipments — and it's built to execute picking, packing, and shipping extremely well. What it isn't built to do is aggregate orders and reconcile inventory across every marketplace you sell on. The InfiPlex™ Inventory & Order Management System (OMS) does exactly that, then hands ShipHero the orders that are ready for warehouse execution.
The InfiPlex ShipHero integration connects your existing ShipHero account to the InfiPlex Inventory & Order Management System. InfiPlex aggregates orders from every sales channel you run, sends fulfillment-ready orders to ShipHero for pick, pack, and ship execution, and pushes the resulting tracking back out to the originating marketplace or storefront — all while managing real-time inventory sync across channels that ShipHero itself doesn't handle.
Yes — this integration connects an existing ShipHero warehouse account to InfiPlex, whether that's your own warehouse running ShipHero or a 3PL that fulfills on your behalf using it. If you don't use ShipHero, InfiPlex's own order and shipping workflow already covers 100+ carriers directly.
Setup is quick and simple: after you sign up, our USA-based team provisions your OMS site within 1–2 business days and links your ShipHero account using its API credentials. There's nothing to install and no developer needed.
Most sellers are live in 1–3 business days. The connection itself completes quickly; the rest of the window goes to confirming which order types route to ShipHero versus InfiPlex's own fulfillment or carrier connections.
No — your warehouse team keeps using ShipHero's pick, pack, and ship workflow exactly as they know it. InfiPlex changes what happens before an order reaches ShipHero (multichannel aggregation and inventory sync) and after (tracking distributed back to the right channel), not the warehouse execution itself.
Section 2 of 5 · How they connect
How Orders Flow Between InfiPlex & ShipHero
The mechanics of what moves where, and why it's organized this way.
InfiPlex does. Orders from every connected channel — Amazon, Walmart, Shopify, and 130+ more — pull into the InfiPlex OMS about every 15 minutes, giving you one aggregated queue instead of configuring ShipHero to connect to each channel independently.
Once an order is ready to ship, InfiPlex sends it to ShipHero, which then handles picking, packing, and shipping using your warehouse's existing ShipHero workflow, hardware, and rate-shopping setup.
Automatically — once ShipHero completes the shipment and generates a label, the tracking number flows back through InfiPlex to whichever channel the order originally came from.
Yes — stock levels in ShipHero feed into InfiPlex's master inventory pool, which reconciles them against every other channel and location in real time, so a ShipHero pick doesn't leave your other channels overselling stock that's already been allocated.
Yes — many sellers route specific SKUs, warehouses, or order types through ShipHero while using InfiPlex's direct carrier connections or a different 3PL for the rest, based on whichever fits that order best.

Pick, Pack, Ship & Returns
What ShipHero handles once an order reaches it, and how that data returns to InfiPlex.
Yes — ShipHero's own carrier connections and rate-shopping logic apply exactly as they do today. InfiPlex hands off orders for ShipHero to fulfill; it doesn't change how ShipHero selects carriers or rates.
Yes — automation rules and batch-picking workflows you've already built in ShipHero continue to apply to orders InfiPlex sends over, with no changes needed on the warehouse floor.
Return status and receiving data from ShipHero can flow back through InfiPlex to update the order record and, where applicable, adjust inventory once a return is received back into stock.
Yes — a 3PL running ShipHero as its WMS can connect through InfiPlex's 3PL Connector program, giving each of its brand clients their own Site Area while fulfillment stays centralized on ShipHero.
Yes — InfiPlex's multi-warehouse routing handles mixed setups, sending orders to ShipHero-run locations, your own warehouse, or other 3PLs based on the rules you configure, all reconciled against one inventory pool.
Section 4 of 5 · Which to use
When to Use ShipHero vs. InfiPlex's Built-In Fulfillment
Both are available — here's how sellers typically decide.
No — InfiPlex includes its own order and shipping workflow across 100+ carriers, so ShipHero isn't required. This integration exists for sellers who already run their own warehouse on ShipHero, or who fulfill through a 3PL that does.
ShipHero is a strong fit for DTC brands and 3PLs shipping high volumes of small parcels, with strong batch-picking and rate-shopping tools already in place. InfiPlex's value in that case is the multichannel order aggregation and inventory sync layered on top, which ShipHero alone doesn't provide across channels.
It works alongside it. InfiPlex isn't trying to replace ShipHero's warehouse execution — it's solving the multichannel order aggregation and real-time inventory sync problem that sits upstream of fulfillment, which ShipHero on its own doesn't address across every channel you sell on.
Yes — because InfiPlex owns the channel connections rather than ShipHero, switching warehouses or 3PLs later doesn't require re-connecting every marketplace; only the fulfillment routing changes.
ShipHero does offer some order-source connections of its own, but pairing it with InfiPlex centralizes channel management, inventory buffers, and retail EDI support in one place rather than splitting that logic between two systems.
Yes — whether your orders fulfill through a warehouse running ShipHero's WMS software or through ShipHero's own managed fulfillment network, InfiPlex sends orders and receives shipment confirmations the same way.
Yes — many sellers connect a single channel first to confirm order flow and inventory accuracy before adding the rest of their sales channels to the InfiPlex-ShipHero setup.

ShipHero Integration Pricing & Plans
What connecting ShipHero to InfiPlex costs, and which plan fits.
ShipHero connects on every InfiPlex plan.

Yes — your existing ShipHero subscription is billed by ShipHero as usual; InfiPlex's plan and per-order pricing are separate and cover the multichannel OMS layer, not ShipHero's own warehouse software cost.
Growth packages carry a 3-month minimum commitment and Partner packages a 12-month term; Basic Starter is month-to-month. Schedule a demo and we'll walk through how InfiPlex and your existing ShipHero setup fit together.

Pair ShipHero with the systems you already run
InfiPlex connects ShipHero with 130+ marketplaces, carts, shipping platforms, 3PLs, WMS, and ERP systems — and our Growth Packages include building new API integrations you need at no additional cost.
Think of ShipHero as the warehouse execution layer, and InfiPlex as the layer above it that aggregates every sales channel into one order queue and keeps inventory accurate across all of them. InfiPlex sends orders that are ready to fulfill over to ShipHero, ShipHero's team picks, packs, and ships them, and InfiPlex pushes the resulting tracking back out to whichever marketplace or storefront the order came from — all while your warehouse floor keeps using the ShipHero workflow it already knows.
The InfiPlex ShipHero sync rail: orders ready to fulfill flow from the OMS into ShipHero for pick, pack, and ship execution; ShipHero returns shipment confirmations and inventory levels; and InfiPlex pushes tracking out to whichever sales channel the order came from — while inventory stays reconciled across every connected channel in one pool.
