Coghlan 3PL

Coghlan 3PL is a 3PL (Third-Party Logistics) company that does not read live edits. Orders must be finalized before Coghlan 3PL downloads them.

Integration method required: Delayed Payment Capture Flow


How Coghlan 3PL Downloads Orders

Coghlan 3PL downloads orders when the payment status is "Paid" in Shopify.

Note: Coghlan 3PL will only pull partially paid orders on the client's specific request, but does not do so by default.


How the Integration Works

  1. Order created → Payment authorized (status: "Authorized")

  2. Grace period active → Customer can edit order

  3. Coghlan 3PL does not download → Order not visible (not "Paid" yet)

  4. Grace period ends → Payment captured, status updates to "Paid"

  5. Coghlan 3PL downloads order → Order sent with all edits included


Setup Instructions

Step 1: Change Payment Capture Setting

  1. Go to Shopify Admin > Settings > Payments

  2. Change Payment capture method to Automatically after fulfillment

  3. Click Save

Step 2: Import Delayed Master Flow

  1. Download DELAYED_Order Editing_Master Flow.flow

  2. Navigate to Shopify Admin > Apps > Shopify Flow

  3. Import the Flow file

  4. Configure timing to match your editing deadline (e.g., 30 minutes)

  5. Activate the Flow

  6. Save

Testing

Test before going live:

  1. Place test order

  2. Verify order doesn't appear in Coghlan 3PL immediately

  3. Make edits during editing window (add/remove items, change address)

  4. Wait for editing period to expire

  5. Confirm order appears in Coghlan 3PL with all edits


Troubleshooting

Orders appearing too early: Verify payment capture setting and Flow activation

Orders not appearing after grace period: Check Flow is capturing payment correctly

Edits not reflecting: Ensure edits were completed before grace period ended (Coghlan 3PL doesn't read live edits)
