Aeropost Account Integration

Overview

Aeropost Marketplace is an eCommerce platform that connects buyers and sellers around Latin America and the Caribbean and provides end-to-end services that facilitate cross-border purchases, payments, and deliveries in 38 countries. Aeropost is popular among international shoppers who want access to products from U.S. retailers that may not directly ship to their countries. These services can provide a convenient way to shop globally in local currency and receive items from the United States.

Sellercloud connects with Aeropost via API plugins, developed to allow you to easily manage product listings and orders:

• Order Import Plugin – Imports Aeropost orders to Sellercloud.
• Tracking Export Plugin – Exports Order Tracking information from Sellercloud to Aeropost.
• Inventory Export Plugin – Exports Inventory data from Sellercloud to Aeropost.

Contact Sellercloud Support to install the plugins on your server.

Order Import Plugin

This plugin is designed to import orders from Aeropost Marketplace into Sellercloud.

2. Navigate to the profile’s Toolbox and select Shipping Method Mapping.
3. Create and configure the profile’s Shipping Method Mapping – add the initially received carrier values from Aeropost, insert the desired equivalents and Save.
