Configure how your Shopify store syncs orders with fabric.When you enable a Shopify orders webhook, fabric automatically imports customer orders that contain items from your approved suppliers and distribute purchase orders to suppliers through their preferred integration method (Console, EDI, API, etc). When suppliers ship items, fulfillments and tracking numbers will be automatically synced back to the original customer order in your Shopify store account.
To choose when fabric imports customer orders, click the Select Webhook field.
Choose one of the following options:
Order Paid (Recommended)
Order Created

For additional protection against fraudulent orders, you can enable the Orders Paid webhook to identify when an order should be pulled. Third-party fraud detection apps typically don’t detect fraud until an order is moved to Paid status.fabric Dropship has the ability to include a delay when pulling orders (in seconds, minutes, or hours) to add extra protection against fraud.
Set which inventory location to use when syncing inventory.When fabric updates inventory in Shopify, we have to assign the inventory to a location that’s configured in your Shopify account.fabric recommends setting up a new, dedicated dropship location in order to keep your owned inventory separate from your dropship inventory. For more information on how to do that in Shopify, check the Shopify Help Center.
To choose an inventory location, select the Select Shopify Location field.

To help prevent overselling, fabric Dropship offers a feature called Safety Stock. This feature automatically reduces your visible inventory by a pre-defined amount, effectively showing customers a lower stock level than what is physically available. By doing so, Safety Stock helps you avoid potential oversells and subsequent order cancellations. For example, if a supplier has 5 units on-hand for an item but Safety Stock is enabled for that specific supplier with a value of 3, customers would only be able to purchase 2 out of the 5 units.
The Webhook History page shows a list of previous webhook callbacks. To access the Webhook History page, follow the steps outlined in Accessing Integration Options.To inspect a webhook, click the webhook ID. The Inspect Webhook window has basic information about the webhook including any messages the webhook returned, and the script used to fetch the webhook.
If an order didn’t import into fabric, its likely that there was a problem routing the order to the correct supplier. If you have doubled-checked the SKUs and the Shopify mappings, you can attempt to import the order again by supplying the Shopify Order Number.
To import the order, enter the order number into the Shopify Order Number field.
Use the fraud checkbox to toggle whether you would like to ignore Shopify’s fraud risk recommendation.

This utility attempts to sync variants between Shopify and fabric using a vendor name. It searches your Shopify store for all items created within the date range you specified and then attempts to sync them with variants in fabric. fabric checks if the Shopify variant’s SKU field matches the Merchant SKU, the UPC, or the Supplier SKU (in that order).
Use the Select Date Range field to choose whether you would like to look for products created between two given dates, or run a sync against all products (a process that can be very slow).
