Shipping and Logistics
Zynk's Shiptheory integration links Shiptheory's multi-carrier shipping software to the accounting, ERP and ecommerce systems where your orders start. Allocated orders and despatch notes become Shiptheory shipments without anyone retyping an address, and booked shipments return with their tracking numbers to Sage, Shopify, Magento or BigCommerce. It suits warehouses and online sellers who despatch with several carriers.
Benefits
Sales orders from Sage or web orders from your store are imported into Shiptheory as shipments, with the delivery address, products and order reference carried across. Packers print labels instead of copying details from one screen to another.
Once Shiptheory books a parcel with the carrier, Zynk exports the shipment with its tracking number and updates the original order, so staff in Sage and customers in your store can both see what has gone out.
Completed shipments can mark Sage 50 sales orders as despatched or create goods despatched notes in Sage 200. Stock and order status in the ledger then reflect what has physically left the warehouse, not what someone remembered to update.
Zynk exports your Shiptheory delivery services and package sizes, so each shipping method or carrier code in your other system can be matched to a valid Shiptheory service. When you add a service later, it can be read and mapped the same way.
Orders that reach Shiptheory without a delivery service are handled by the shipping rules you already set up there. Zynk supplies the order details and leaves carrier choice where you configured it, unless you prefer to set the service from Sage.

The problem
Shipping software only pays off when orders reach it cleanly. Without integration, someone exports orders from the store or Sage, uploads them into Shiptheory, then types tracking numbers back once parcels leave. Each handover is a chance to ship to an outdated address or leave a customer asking where their order is.
How it works
Zynk connects to your Shiptheory account through its API and to the Sage company, ERP or online store that holds your orders. You decide which orders qualify, for example fully allocated sales orders or despatch notes.
Zynk reads your Shiptheory delivery services and package sizes. You map them to carrier fields, shipping methods or analysis codes in the other system, so each shipment carries a valid service or falls through to your Shiptheory rules.
Workflows import qualifying orders into Shiptheory as shipments, each with a reference that ties it back to the original order. Your team then prints labels in Shiptheory exactly as it does today.
On a schedule, Zynk exports completed shipments and writes tracking numbers and despatch status back to Sage, Shopify, Magento or BigCommerce, raising an alert for any order that could not be matched.
Integrations
Raise Shiptheory shipments from Sage 200 despatch notes or fully allocated sales orders, then write tracking numbers back to the order and generate the despatch note in Sage 200 where needed.
Send fully allocated sales orders from Sage 50 to Shiptheory for labelling. When the carrier booking completes, the order in Sage 50 gets its tracking number and is marked as despatched.
Shopify orders become Shiptheory shipments without an export file, and each booked shipment returns to Shopify as a fulfilment so the shopper receives tracking from the store they bought from.
Pull Magento orders into Shiptheory, then post shipments and tracking numbers back to Magento so the order shows as shipped in the customer's account.
Create Shiptheory shipments from BigCommerce orders and return the shipment details, letting BigCommerce update the order status and share tracking with the buyer.
Galleon Supplies has relied on Zynk for over a decade to connect Sage 200 with its e-commerce platforms, scaling reliably through a migration to Shopify Plus and high-volume B2B trading.
