Integration focus: How Starshipit’s integration with Adobe Commerce makes it easy to do business

Running an online store requires a bit of planning. Most importantly, it requires a website.

Adobe Commerce is one of the most popular eCommerce platforms in the world, with over 250,000 online stores using it. 2020 has proven to be a big year for Adobe Commerce, with one version of the platform no longer being supported.

In June 2020, Adobe Commerce 1 stopped being supported. This original version was built back in 2009, using the old technology of the times. In 2015, Adobe Commerce 2 was released which supports all recent eCommerce and online business innovations. While websites that use Adobe Commerce 1 will still work, their technology is no longer supported or maintained so Adobe Commerce has been encouraging businesses to switch to the newest version.

Adobe Commerce 101

While Shopify is widely regarded as the world’s leading DIY website builder, Adobe Commerce is the biggest player when it comes to complex website platforms. Adobe Commerce is packed with great features that are more suitable for advanced developers. For even greater functionality, the Adobe Commerce Marketplace (https://marketplace.magento.com/) features a massive 5000+ apps and add-ons, some that you pay for and some that are free.

Adobe Commerce Open Source is free; you can choose to pay for additional functionality and add-ons though. Adobe Commerce doesn’t include hosting though so you’ll have to go through a third-party provider.

Starshipit + Adobe Commerce

Starshipit integrates with Adobe Commerce to automate the fulfilment of orders. Starshipit is the leading provider of integrated and automated fulfilment solutions for online businesses of every age and stage. Integrating with a large range of couriers and eCommerce platforms, Starshipit streamlines every step of your fulfilment process, reduces handling time, minimises human error, and improves customer experience.

The integration between Adobe Commerce and Starshipit is simple. A customer places an order on your Adobe Commerce website. Their order is automatically imported into Starshipit (via your inventory or warehouse management system if you also run one of those). Once in Starshipit, your orders are automatically allocated to couriers. When they’re dispatched in Starshipit, information is then written back to Adobe Commerce, and notifications can be triggered to keep your customers informed and drive them to your branded tracking page.

If you use both Adobe Commerce and Starshipit, you can also display live rates at checkout. This is useful if you have multiple shipping methods and want to give your customers choice and total transparency around delivery speed and cost.
