ShipBob integration

ShipBob in Polar: true inventory and real landed cost.

ShipBob holds your true inventory and fulfils your orders. Connect it and Polar gets your real stock, not just Shopify's estimate, plus shipping and fulfillment costs, so landed margin is real and your inventory numbers are the ones that actually ship.

days of cover

ShipBob ships the orders. Polar puts the cost in your margin.

ShipBob knows your true inventory and what fulfillment costs, but that lives in its own dashboard, apart from revenue and margin. So landed profit is a guess and your Shopify stock quietly drifts from reality. Polar fixes both.

ShipBob on its own

  • Fulfillment cost sits apart from margin.
  • True inventory lives in ShipBob, Shopify drifts.
  • No landed-cost view per SKU.
  • Delivery performance disconnected from support.

ShipBob with Polar

  • Fulfillment and shipping cost in landed margin.
  • True inventory reconciled against Shopify.
  • Landed cost down to SKU.
  • Delivery timing next to orders and support.

The Gap

The connector is only half of it.

Once your ShipBob inventory and fulfillment cost are clean and attributed inside Polar, you can use them wherever you already work. Ask Polar in plain language, pull them live through the Polar MCP, or schedule a snapshot into the report your team reads every morning.

Featured Use Case

Landed margin, not gross.

Landed margin, not gross

Your Shopify inventory is an estimate; ShipBob holds the real thing, and it also knows exactly what it costs to pick, pack and ship every order, costs that never make it into a gross-margin number. Polar ingests ShipBob with a custom connector so your true inventory reconciles against Shopify and your fulfillment and shipping costs land in contribution margin. Margin becomes landed, not gross, days of cover are based on stock that actually exists, and you can finally see which SKUs are quietly expensive to ship.

What makes it real

Costs in margin. Fulfillment and shipping costs blended into landed contribution margin, per SKU.

True stock. ShipBob's real inventory reconciled against Shopify, so days of cover are accurate.

Ask Polar, in plain language. “Show landed margin per SKU including ShipBob fulfillment cost.” No SQL, no export.
