Celigo × Margin Enforcement
Celigo iPaaS for Shopify Plus Margin Enforcement
Celigo margin enforcement for Shopify Plus: Agentis uses cost data from your Celigo flows to check each order's net margin within 60 seconds and hold losers before they ship.
The Problem
Celigo is excellent at moving data between systems, but data movement without data action is a half-finished job. Your Celigo flows faithfully pipe COGS from NetSuite, inventory from your WMS, and shipping rates from your 3PL into Shopify. All the inputs needed to calculate true order-level margin are flowing through your middleware. Yet none of that data is used at the moment that matters: between the order being placed and the order shipping. The cost data arrives in Shopify, sits in metafields or custom properties, and is never consulted when an order with a 30% coupon on SKUs whose COGS just increased goes to the warehouse. Celigo built the highway; nobody built the checkpoint. The result is that merchants with sophisticated Celigo implementations can still lose margin on orders that ship without anyone looking at the very cost data Celigo worked so hard to deliver.
How Agentis Solves This
Agentis turns your Celigo data highway into a margin control by consuming the cost signals that already flow through your integration and acting on each order after it is placed and before it ships. Instead of cost data passively landing in Shopify fields, Agentis actively uses it: COGS from NetSuite, shipping estimates from your 3PL feed, payment method fees, and FX, all combined into a per-order net margin calculation within 60 seconds of each order. When an order's net margin falls below your configured floor, Agentis flags it with the leak and a recommended fix, or automatically holds it before fulfillment under rules you approve, and logs it in the Evidence Ledger. The data your Celigo flows move now directly protects your P&L.
Benefits
- Transform passive data sync into active, per-order margin protection without modifying your Celigo flows
- Combine COGS, shipping, and payment data from multiple Celigo flows into a single margin decision on each order
- Hold orders below your profit floor before fulfillment using the same cost data your ERP and finance teams already trust
- Close the gap between your integration investment and your P&L outcome
Technical Details
Agentis integrates with Celigo's integrator.io platform via REST API token authentication. It reads flow execution status across your cost-relevant flows (ERP cost sync, 3PL rate sync, inventory sync) and maintains a unified cost model that combines data from multiple Celigo pipelines. When a Shopify Plus order is placed, Agentis queries this unified model to resolve per-SKU COGS, estimated shipping, payment fees, and FX, and computes net margin within 60 seconds. If the order falls below your floor, Agentis flags it or places it on hold before fulfillment. Agentis logs every decision in the Evidence Ledger with a link to the source Celigo flow execution that provided the cost data, creating a full audit chain from ERP to shipped order.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the Celigo discount governance feature?
Discount governance focuses specifically on evaluating discount codes against COGS. Margin enforcement is broader: it evaluates the total order margin including COGS, shipping costs, payment fees, and any other cost data flowing through Celigo, regardless of whether a discount was applied. An order can fall below the floor even without a discount if COGS have risen enough.
Can Agentis use different floors for different product categories?
Yes. You configure profit floors by product category, brand, vendor, or any Shopify product attribute. A high-margin accessories category might have a 35% floor while a competitive commodity category runs at 15%. Agentis evaluates each line item individually and the order as a whole.
What data from Celigo does Agentis actually need?
At minimum, Agentis needs the COGS per SKU flowing through Celigo from your ERP. Optionally, it can also consume landed cost data, shipping rate data, inventory levels, and vendor rebate schedules if those flow through Celigo. Each additional data source tightens the accuracy of the margin calculation.
Does this add latency to our Celigo flows or to checkout?
No. Agentis reads from Celigo asynchronously after flows complete, so it adds no processing time to any Celigo flow execution. It also does not run inside Shopify checkout: it evaluates each order after it is placed, within 60 seconds, so shoppers never wait on it.
How does Celigo margin enforcement compare to building this in-house on top of Celigo iPaaS?
Some engineering teams look at Celigo iPaaS and reasonably ask whether margin enforcement could be hand-rolled as another Celigo flow. In practice, three things get hard quickly: computing true net margin per order (COGS, landed cost, freight, fees, FX) within seconds of each order rather than on a batch schedule, keeping the cost model consistent with Celigo exports, and the rule engine that maps margin results to actions (flag, hold before fulfillment) per SKU, category, and customer segment, with an audit trail. Agentis ships all three as a managed layer, so your Celigo iPaaS stays focused on data movement and the profit-floor logic runs on every order before it ships.
