# ShipBob

> Connect ShipBob to Redo for automated return processing and warehouse management

export const integrationProvider_0 = "shipbob"

## What is ShipBob?

ShipBob is a leading third-party logistics (3PL) provider and warehouse management system that offers fulfillment services for e-commerce businesses. With a network of fulfillment centers across North America, ShipBob provides inventory management, order fulfillment, and shipping solutions for growing brands.

**Primary Purpose:** ShipBob delivers end-to-end fulfillment services, allowing brands to store inventory in strategically located warehouses and ship products quickly to customers. The integration with Redo ensures seamless return processing while keeping ShipBob as your source of truth for fulfillment and inventory management.

## What Does the Integration Do?

Integrating ShipBob with Redo allows ShipBob to remain your source of truth for fulfillment and inventory management. When a return is created through the Redo customer portal, an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) will be automatically created within ShipBob via the [ShipBob API](https://api.shipbob.com/2026-01) (version `2026-01`), notifying the warehouse that items are being returned.

Once the item is received, inspected, and confirmed eligible for return, you'll approve the RMA within ShipBob. When that happens, ShipBob will communicate with Redo to process the return and issue any store credit/refund or create an exchange order.
