Profrakt integration for Shopify

The Profrakt integration orders a shipping label from Profrakt when an order or booking is ready, and writes the tracking number back to the shipment. It runs as a Make.com flow and can be triggered from Shopify, or from another system such as Podio when a rental is due to ship, not when it is booked.

What it is

Profrakt is a Norwegian freight portal with agreements across several carriers. The integration calls the Profrakt API with recipient and parcel details, and gets the label and tracking back.

Why it matters

Rentals and orders with a delivery date do not fit standard shipping apps, which ship as soon as the order is paid.

  2. 02SetupConnection in your own account, field mapping, and test data through the whole flow.
  3. 03Test on real dataThe first orders or products are followed manually before we switch everything on.
  4. 04Go-live and monitoringWe follow the first weeks. Errors are flagged with a reference to the order.

Frequently asked questions

Do we own the Profrakt integration ourselves?

+

Yes. Make.com scenarios live in your own account, and code is delivered with source. We run it if you want, but you are not locked in to us.

What happens when a run fails?

+

Every run is kept in the history with input and output. Errors are flagged with a reference, and we clean up together. There is no automatic rollback, and we say so plainly.

Can we start with shipping and expand later?

+

Yes. Most start with one flow, such as orders, and add inventory or customers later.

How long does setup take?

+

Make.com flows are delivered in days once the mapping session is done. Custom code takes longer, and we give you a timeline after the first call.
