What is ApparelMagic?

ApparelMagic is a cloud-based ERP and inventory management system designed specifically for apparel and fashion brands. It provides comprehensive tools for order management, inventory tracking, production planning, and sales operations. Primary Purpose: ApparelMagic delivers end-to-end business management for fashion brands, from design and production through sales and fulfillment. The platform helps brands manage their entire operation with specialized features built for the unique needs of the apparel industry.

What Does the Integration Do?

When a customer initiates a return through Redo, the system automatically creates a Return Authorization (RA) in ApparelMagic, ensuring your inventory system stays synchronized with return activity. This enables your team to track returns, manage inventory accurately, and process refunds or exchanges efficiently. Products are mapped using SKUs, and returns are linked to the original ApparelMagic invoice. The integration validates that sufficient quantity is available for return and ensures products exist in your ApparelMagic inventory before creating the RA. Return quantities and product details are automatically synchronized, providing complete visibility into return operations within your existing ApparelMagic workflow. Important Note: The ApparelMagic integration currently supports returns that reference a single order. Returns spanning multiple orders are not supported at this time.

How to Set It Up

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:
You must have an active ApparelMagic subscription with API access enabled.
