Understanding Orders in Pipe17

Orders are one of the primary data entities in the app. They represent commerce transactions pulled from selling channels and routed to fulfillment centers, ERPs, or other systems. Orders in Pipe17 serve as a central record that includes the order’s details, current status, and any associated issues.

You can view, manage, and troubleshoot orders within the Orders → All Orders section of the app.

Order Information

When an order is ingested into Pipe17, the app captures key details from the originating connector/integration. These details are used in the order routing and automation workflows.

By default, each order includes the following:

Detail

 

Description

 

Order Status

Includes values such as Unfulfilled, Fulfilled, or Canceled. Only paid orders are ingested by default.

Order ID

Pulled directly from the originating app.

Financial Summary

Includes item prices, shipping charges, discounts, taxes, and total cost.

Line Items

Contains product SKUs, names, quantities, and individual prices. Supports both order- and line-level routing.

Shipping Status

Reflects shipping progress and is synchronized with connectors.

Customer Information

Includes contact details such as name and phone number, if available from the source.

Tags

Tags from apps that support tagging are included for filtering and logic.

Order Notes

Any notes attached to the order will be displayed.

Shipping Address

How Orders Enter Pipe17

Orders are brought into the app through connected systems (connectors available in the Integrations section). Each connector has configurable ingestion settings. Typically, orders originate from:

  • Marketplaces (e.g., Amazon, eBay)

  • Commerce apps (e.g., Shopify, WooCommerce)

How to Confirm Order Source

  • Go to Orders → All Orders.

  • Review the Source column for the connector origin.

How to Verify Ingestion Settings

  1. Navigate to the Integrations page.

  2. Select the relevant connector.

  3. Look for the Pull Orders toggle in the connector’s settings.

When adding orders to Pipe17, the system does not override existing records owned by an integration. If an integration already owns an order, and another integration attempts to create the same record, the action will fail. Ownership remains with the integration that first added the item, and subsequent integrations cannot overwrite it.


How Do I Send Orders to Another Connector

Some connectors support outbound syncing of orders. To enable this functionality:

  1. Go to the specific connector’s settings page.

  2. Locate the Push Orders option and enable it.

  3. Configure any additional sync rules under the Orders section of the connector settings.

Once enabled, Pipe17 will automatically sync new orders to that connector as they are ingested.
