Cin7 Core (Dear) Integration

Cin7 Core Integration

Overview

  • The steps below will guide you through integrating your Cin7 Core platform to Starshipit.  Once completed, your orders will be imported into Starshipit and the tracking information will be written back when you print a label.
  • Cin7 Core has also released an integration with Starshipit, this integration will allow you to print labels from the Cin7 Core platform. For information on that, see their support guide.  

What you need to get started:

Before getting started with Cin7 Core you will need a few things. 

  • Your Cin7 Core Account Id
  • Your Cin7 Core API Key

If you do not have the above fields, follow the below steps:

  1. Log into Cin7 Core
  2. Go to Integration > DEAR API

  3. Create a new API application
  4. Save the new API application and note down the Account ID and the Key 

How to set up Cin7 Core:

To enable Cin7 Coreon your account:

  1. Go to Starshipit > Settings > Integrations > Add a new integration > DEAR
  2. Recommended: Select Version 2 for the API version. 
  3. Enter in the Account ID and Key from Cin7 Core
  4. Click Save

Writeback

Starshipit will update your orders with carrier and tracking information when shipped. By default, Stashipit will use "DEFAULT Carrier" when updating your orders in Cin7 Core.

If you wish to have your Cin7 Core orders to be updated with the specific carrier name then you will need to set up Carrier Mappings in Starshipit. 

  1. Go to Settings > Integrations > DEAR > Courier Mappings 
  2. Click Add a new mapping
  3. From the courier drop down, select one of your enabled couriers
  4. In the courier name to use textbox, enter in the courier name you have defined in Cin7 Core
  5. When done, click the tick icon 

When writeback is attempted for the courier specified, we will send back the courier name you have defined in this field

Additional Configuration

Status to import
Use this option to specify what status orders should be in to import into Starshipit. You can specify multiple by separating each status with a semi colon. For example: Ordering;Picked
Advanced Sales
If you are using Cin7 Core Advanced Sales - Multiple Fulfillments you can configure your Starshipit integration to import each fulfilment and a single order, instead of importing the overall sales orders.

To do this, you will need to be on DEAR Version 2 and select "Import Sale Fulfillments instead of Sales". This means you will have multiple Starshipit orders for the one order in Cin7 Core allowing you to ship them separately with ease. 
Import Memo/Order Notes
By default Starshipit does not import memo's from Cin7 Core. If you would like these to import into the delivery instructions field, select the option you would like from the memo drop down. Alternatively you can import the order notes by selecting Import order note into delivery instructions
API Limits
Cin7 Corehas an API limit of 60 calls per 60 seconds. This can occasionally mean that the writeback to Cin7 Core will fail, or that the import will fail. These both will retry again should they fail.
