Pipe17 lists your Warehance shipping methods. Pair the methods your channels send with them once, and every order arrives under a name Warehance already knows.
Pipe17 reads on hand, available, and allocated per warehouse and counts only the available figure as sellable. Units promised to open orders stay off sale.
Pipe17 creates each approved return in Warehance for the warehouse to receive against, and the units received or rejected post back to the same return.

The Warehance integration, built and managed by Pipe17, turns each Warehance warehouse into a location on the Order Operations Platform. Pipe17 sends it orders, products, inbound shipments, and returns, and brings back per-parcel tracking, stock, receipts, return receipts, and cancellations. An order from a storefront such as Shopify or a marketplace such as Amazon routes to one of those locations, and its tracking goes back to that channel.
Yes, the Warehance integration works for a 3PL that runs Warehance for its clients and for a brand on its own Warehance account. A 3PL sets up one integration per client, with a key scoped to that client, and each client's channels route into its own stores at the 3PL's warehouses. A brand connects once and routes orders to its Warehance warehouses alongside any other warehouse or 3PL on the Pipe17 Network.
An order from Shopify, Amazon, or TikTok Shop reaches Warehance when order routing in Pipe17 assigns it to a Warehance warehouse. Pipe17 creates the order in Warehance under the store set up for that channel, with the shipping method name from the order or the Warehance method you paired it with. Once the warehouse ships, each parcel's tracking posts to the channel that took the order.
Your channels sell from Warehance's available figure. Pipe17 pulls on hand, available, and allocated quantities for each SKU at each Warehance warehouse and treats available as the sellable count, next to stock at your other warehouses and 3PLs. Warehance is the system of record for stock. Bundle stock comes from the components unless you choose otherwise, and the pull can be limited to a SKU list.
Yes, as long as the warehouse has not shipped it, canceling the order in Pipe17 cancels the Warehance order behind each shipment. An order Warehance has already fulfilled cannot be canceled, and Pipe17 marks that cancellation rejected and raises a late cancel exception. When someone cancels an order in Warehance, Pipe17 cancels the matching shipping request and, by default, releases its committed stock.
Returns move both ways between Pipe17 and Warehance. A return approved in Pipe17, whether from your storefront, Loop, or Happy Returns, is created in Warehance ahead of the warehouse receiving it, and Pipe17 records the received and rejected units on that return. A return that starts in Warehance comes into Pipe17 with tracking, quantities, reasons, and label cost, and appears in returns management like any other.
Warehance setup needs an API key and a few Pipe17 settings. Generate the key in Warehance under Settings > API Keys and paste it into Pipe17, with your Warehance client ID if the key covers your whole organization. Pipe17 pulls your warehouses as locations. Name a Warehance store per sales channel, pair the shipping methods your channels send with Warehance ones, map SKUs where needed, and enable the flows you use.
Test the Warehance integration on a narrow slice first by restricting the order push to a few order IDs and the product and inventory syncs to chosen SKUs. Turn the flows on in sequence: warehouses first, then products, inventory, orders, and fulfillments, then cancellations, inbound shipments, and returns. Once a trial order ships and its tracking comes back, remove the filters and open every flow.
