One distribution API behind every storefront

Boxout IO is the middleware that connects Boxout’s e-commerce channels to the warehouse, the ERP, and the carriers. We designed and built a serverless platform where any storefront — Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce — can place an order, price it, reserve stock, and route it to fulfillment through a single API contract. One integration surface for a portfolio of brands.

One API, every storefront.

Boxout sells across a portfolio of brands and platforms. Boxout IO sits in the middle — a single contract that any storefront speaks, and a single pipe into the back office.

Every channel integrates once, against one contract. Adding a brand or a platform never touches the systems behind the wall.

From cart to carrier.

An order is not an event — it’s a lifecycle. Boxout IO enriches, prices, and routes every order through the same serverless pipeline before it ever reaches a warehouse.

Each stage is event-driven — a change in state triggers the next function, so the pipeline scales to zero between orders and never blocks.

The same lifecycle runs whether the order came from Shopify, BigCommerce, or a bulk upload — only the adapter at each end changes.

What we built.

THE PLATFORM

boxout io

A

Multi-platform connectors

Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Magento, and 3DCart — every storefront served from one codebase and one contract.

B

Serverless by design

An event-driven, serverless architecture that scales to zero between orders and pays only for what it processes.

C

ERP & CRM integration

Purchase orders flow to the ERP as EDI; returns and RMAs are brokered through the CRM — no manual re-keying.

D

Multi-merchant, isolated

A portfolio of consumer brands, each configured and scoped independently on shared infrastructure — one platform, many storefronts.

E

Smart order routing

Every order routed to the best of multiple US warehouses — nearest stock, fewest splits — with per-state shipping and signature rules applied first.

F

One API surface

Every storefront and every warehouse speaks the same contract. New brands plug in; the back office never changes.
