Shopify Porter Integration
Nventory connects Shopify to Porter for hyperlocal and same-day delivery in Indian cities. Orders flow from Shopify into Nventory, delivery addresses are geocoded for Porter's intracity network, and real-time tracking with COD status pushes back to Shopify.

Good to Know
Platform restrictions outside any integration tool's control
Porter operates within Indian cities for hyperlocal and same-day delivery. Intercity and pan-India shipments require Delhivery, ShipRocket, or another logistics provider.
Delivery partner assignment and dispatch are handled by Porter's platform. Nventory syncs order data and pushes tracking back to Shopify.
Porter collects COD from customers and settles with merchants on their payout schedule. Nventory syncs COD status but does not manage settlements.
Things to Consider
Platform-specific details and how they affect this integration.
Porter excels at same-city delivery but does not handle intercity shipments. Stores selling across India need a hybrid logistics strategy with Porter for local delivery and a national carrier for the rest.
Nventory supports both Porter for intracity delivery and carriers like Delhivery or ShipRocket for pan-India shipping. Orders can be routed based on delivery address — same-city orders to Porter, intercity orders to your national carrier.
