WMS Integration


This article introduces Warehouse Management System (WMS) integration, which allows you to connect a WMS for efficient inventory management. Item DI offers two configurable options for managing warehouses, but each merchant can only connect to one WMS system at a time.

Based on your plan, if it doesn’t include the service of WMS integration for inventory management, you can still handle orders manually in item OMS. This includes dispatching orders, creating shipping labels, and fulfilling shipments. For more details, refer to the Order Management section.
