About Integration

What Commercium solves for OrderStream suppliers

Commercium connects OrderStream with E-commerce, OMS, ERPs, POS, Shipping & Accounting platforms, enabling seamless product, inventory, order & shipment synchronisation across your commerce platforms.

The problem

Dropship compliance done by hand

OrderStream is where the retailer’s expectations live: response windows, document sets, inventory upload policy and branded paperwork. Without an integration, all of it lands on an operations team.

·Purchase orders re-keyed from the OrderStream portal into an ERP or store
·Acknowledgements missed inside the retailer’s response window
·Invoices uploaded by hand, retailer by retailer
·Stock files uploaded manually to stay inside the daily-upload policy
·Packing slips downloaded one order at a time and walked to the packing bench
With Commercium

Every document on a schedule, not a to-do list

One connection carries the whole cycle for every retailer on your OrderStream account, driven by the systems that already hold your stock, orders and invoices.

Orders imported & routed automatically
Acknowledgements sent against live stock
Invoices uploaded from your ERP data
Daily full file plus real-time deltas

Commercium sits between your systems and OrderStream: your data stays where it lives, and each retailer gets exactly the documents it asks for, in the format, on the schedule and through the exchange method that retailer is set up for.

How it works
1

Book a demo with Commercium

Tell us which retailers you supply through OrderStream and which systems run your stock, orders and invoicing. We walk you through the integration on a live call.

2

Share your OrderStream details

Provide your OrderStream account and exchange credentials, your warehouse or facility IDs, and the document set each retailer requires.

3

Connect your systems & map

Your integration engineer connects your ERP, store, WMS, shipping and accounting systems, then maps SKUs, warehouses, carriers, taxes and invoice fields per retailer.

4

Test in the OrderStream sandbox

OrderStream provides a sandbox environment. We run test orders, acknowledgements, shipment confirmations, invoices and packing slips there before anything touches a live retailer.

5

Go live & monitor

Once you are satisfied with the data sync, we switch the connection live. Onboarding takes 1–2 hours once all the necessary details are provided.

Already have your OrderStream credentials?

Onboarding takes 1–2 hours once all the necessary details are provided. Book a slot and we will run your first sandbox order, acknowledgement, shipment and invoice on the same call.

About the platform

What OrderStream is, and what integrating with it actually means

OrderStream is the dropship platform large retailers use to run their supplier programmes, built by CommerceHub and now part of Rithum. Retailers publish purchase orders into it; suppliers publish inventory, acknowledgements, shipments and invoices back. You connect once, and each retailer becomes a document profile rather than a new project.

What OrderStream handles

Retailer-run dropship programmes

OrderStream is the supplier side of a retailer’s dropship programme. The retailer invites you in, sets the data requirements and performance expectations, and you ship direct to its customers under its brand.

Purchase orders

Consumer orders placed on the retailer’s site arrive as purchase orders carrying ship-to details, service level, expected ship date and line-level quantities and prices.

Order acknowledgement

Many retailers expect an acknowledgement confirming what you can fulfil, accepted, backordered or cancelled lines, inside a defined response window, well before anything ships.

Shipment confirmation

Carrier, service level, tracking number and shipped quantities go back per package or per line. That closes the order and triggers the shopper’s tracking notification from the retailer.

Invoice upload

Some retailer programmes require an invoice document after shipment; others generate it themselves from the shipment. Which one applies is set per retailer, not per supplier.

Inventory feeds & packing slips

Availability is published per warehouse or facility, with a full inventory upload required at least once a day. Retailer-branded packing slips have to travel with the shipment.

How suppliers reach retailers through OrderStream

Retailer-invited, supplier-operated

The retailer runs its dropship programme on OrderStream and invites you in as a supplier. Your account holds the orders you receive, the availability you publish and the documents you owe back. Commercium sits behind that account and drives all of it from your ERP, store or warehouse data, the same source feeding every retailer you supply.

Who runs programmes on it

OrderStream came out of CommerceHub, which built its business helping large retailers run dropship supplier networks without holding the inventory themselves. Whichever retailer invited you, the integration has the same shape: their document set, their formats, their windows.

Tell us which retailer invited you and we will confirm exactly which documents your programme needs before you commit to anything.

Retailer names are shown for identification only. If your programme runs with a retailer not listed here, the integration works the same way, tell us who invited you and we will build the document profile for it.

The OrderStream documents we work with
Order Retailer purchase order Downloaded per account and transformed into a sales order, store order or WMS order in your systems.
Acknowledge Order acknowledgement Accept, backorder or cancel lines against live stock inside the retailer’s response window, where the retailer requires it.
Shipment Shipment confirmation Carrier, service, tracking and shipped quantities submitted per package or line, including partial and split shipments.
Invoice Invoice upload Invoice built from your ERP or order data and mapped to the retailer’s required fields, skipped for retailers that auto-invoice.
Inventory Availability feed Real-time availability updates per warehouse or facility, plus the once-a-day full inventory upload the platform expects.
Slip Packing slip The retailer’s branded slip, generated automatically and routed to the warehouse or 3PL that is packing the order.
Field experience

What we learnt while integrating OrderStream for our users

Working notes from live OrderStream operations, the things that decide whether a dropship programme runs quietly, and how each one became automation inside Commercium.

No two retailers ask for the same documents

This is the single biggest lesson from live OrderStream work. Some retailers need invoice upload and order acknowledgement; others need neither and only want a shipping confirmation. Assuming one document set and discovering the difference on a live order is how programmes start badly. Commercium configures a document profile per retailer, so each one receives exactly what it asks for, and nothing it doesn’t.

A full inventory upload once a day is policy, not a preference

OrderStream policy mandates a full inventory upload once every day. Commercium runs that full file on schedule to keep you compliant, and layers real-time inventory updates on top of it so availability between uploads stays accurate. Compliance and accuracy are two different jobs, and doing only one of them is what causes either policy warnings or oversells.

Supported file formats are CSV, XML & EDI over SFTP

OrderStream exchanges data as CSV, XML and EDI files over SFTP. Which one your programme uses is set by the retailer, so the practical work is mapping your ERP, store or WMS data into the exact file layout that retailer expects, and reading its files back the same way. Commercium handles the transformation, file naming, scheduling, pickup and retries, so the format never becomes your team’s problem.

Test in the sandbox, then go live, onboarding is 1–2 hours

OrderStream provides a sandbox environment, and we use it properly: test orders, acknowledgements, shipment confirmations, invoices and packing slips all run there with your team before a real retailer order is touched. Once all the necessary details are provided, onboarding itself takes 1–2 hours, the elapsed time is credentials and retailer confirmation, not build work.

Packing slips are the hidden operational cost

Retailer-branded slips are normally either downloaded from the portal order by order or built to the retailer’s spec inside a warehouse system. Most tools leave that to you. Commercium generates the slip automatically and routes it with the picklist to the warehouse or 3PL packing the order.

Response windows are shorter than teams expect

Where a retailer requires acknowledgement, the window is measured in hours, not days, and it runs during weekends and holidays. Automating the response against live stock is what keeps a scorecard clean when nobody is at a desk.

Inventory accuracy is the whole relationship

Dropship suppliers are scored on fill rate and cancellations. We publish availability from the systems that actually own stock, ERP, WMS, store or POS, with per-retailer buffers so one shared pool never oversells a programme into cancellations.

Facility IDs and SKU identity decide routing

Orders route cleanly only when warehouse or facility IDs and the identifier the retailer uses, merchant SKU or UPC, line up with your own catalogue. We settle that mapping during onboarding rather than discovering it on a live order.

Partial fulfilment needs a rule, not a decision

Backorders, short ships and split shipments come up constantly. We set the rule once per retailer, accept, backorder or cancel the line, so the warehouse never has to interpret a retailer policy in the moment.

The next retailer should be configuration

Once your OrderStream account is wired into Commercium, adding a retailer is a new document profile over the same source data, their formats, their windows, their slip, not another integration project.

FAQ

OrderStream questions, answered

Technical questions about how the OrderStream integration works, and general questions about running on Commercium.

Can Commercium create products on OrderStream?
No. Commercium does not currently support product creation for OrderStream, item setup is handled with the retailer and the platform, following that retailer’s catalogue requirements. Once your items exist, Commercium automates everything around them: order sync, order acknowledgement, invoice upload, inventory sync and automatic packing-slip generation.
Can OrderStream orders be sent to my ERP?
Yes. OrderStream orders can be transformed and sent to supported ERP, ecommerce, OMS, WMS, accounting or fulfilment systems, with acknowledgement, shipment confirmation and invoices flowing back to the retailer through OrderStream.
Can Commercium help new OrderStream sellers?
Yes. Commercium works with businesses during onboarding to prepare data, connect systems, configure mappings and establish operational workflows, including confirming which documents your retailer’s programme actually requires before you go live.
Can I connect more than one seller account of OrderStream using Commercium?
Yes, you can add as many seller accounts as you want while remaining on your same plan. You only upgrade when you cross your plan’s order limits.
What are the next steps to connect OrderStream using Commercium?
Five steps: book a demo with Commercium; share your OrderStream account and exchange credentials, warehouse or facility IDs and the document set your retailer requires; your integration engineer connects your ERP, store, WMS, shipping and accounting systems and maps SKUs, warehouses, carriers, taxes and invoice fields per retailer; test orders, acknowledgements, shipment confirmations, invoices and packing slips in the OrderStream sandbox; then go live and monitor. Onboarding itself takes 1–2 hours once all the necessary details are provided.
Does every retailer require invoice upload and order acknowledgement?
No, and this is the main thing to plan for. Some retailers need invoice upload and order acknowledgement; others need neither and only want a shipping confirmation. Commercium holds a document profile per retailer, so each programme receives exactly the documents it asks for.
How does Commercium handle the daily full inventory upload requirement?
OrderStream policy mandates a full inventory upload once a day. Commercium runs that full file on schedule to maintain compliance and adds real-time inventory updates on top, so availability stays accurate between uploads instead of drifting until the next batch.
Can I test the integration before going live?
Yes. OrderStream provides a sandbox environment, and we use it: test orders, acknowledgements, shipment confirmations, invoices and packing slips all run there with your team before a live retailer order is processed.
Can Commercium generate retailer packing slips automatically?
Yes. Automatic packing-slip generation is part of the integration, the slip is produced for each order and routed with the picklist to the warehouse or 3PL packing it, instead of being downloaded from the portal order by order.
How long does OrderStream onboarding take?
Onboarding takes 1–2 hours once all the necessary details are provided, account and exchange credentials, warehouse or facility IDs, the retailer’s document set, your SKU identity source and carrier codes. The elapsed time in a typical project is waiting on credentials, not build work.
