🔗 Magento + Checkers Sixty60 integration

Supply Checkers Sixty60 from Magento.

Q: How do Magento and Checkers Sixty60 work together?

Checkers Sixty60 raises purchase orders on you. Checkers Sixty60 purchase orders land in Magento like any wholesale order. A dedicated account manager sets it up with you, with example orders first.

Q: Is Magento the system of truth, or just another channel?

Either. If Magento holds master stock, we write marketplace orders into it so inventory decrements as if the sale happened on the store. If your ERP holds stock, Magento is one channel next to the marketplaces. We establish that with you at setup, because it flips the order flow.

Q: Is this the same as selling on the Checkers Sixty60 marketplace?

No. This is the supplier / B2B side: purchase orders the retailer raises on you. Marketplace selling is a separate connection. Many brands and distributors run both, from the same Wherehouse account.

Q: Will marketplace orders email my Magento customers?

No. Marketplace buyers already got their confirmation from the marketplace. We keep those orders from triggering storefront customer emails, so you are not double-messaging people.

Q: Is there a setup fee?

No. There are no setup fees on any plan. During onboarding we ingest your catalogue and sync a couple of test orders and products, so you know it works before you rely on it. You only pay once the account is live. Billed monthly. Cancel any time.

Q: How long does onboarding take?

Most sellers are live in under 5 days, with all their business rules set up. It depends on how many platforms you connect and how specific your rules are. A dedicated account manager sets it up with you. We run specified example orders first. Nothing automatic goes through until those are right.

Q: Do I have to live in the Wherehouse dashboard?

No. Most brands and distributors keep working in the store, ERP or seller portal they already know. Wherehouse runs in the background. The dashboard is there when you want one view of stock, orders, fees and sync history.

Checkers Sixty60 purchase orders land in Magento like any wholesale order. No retyping, fewer short-ships.

✅ Live in 14 days or month two is free
✅ No setup fee
✅ A named person on your account
✅ Month to month

Syncs
Purchase orders

Checkers Sixty60 POs should not be a copy-paste job.

Retyping Checkers Sixty60 purchase orders into Magento is slow, and one wrong pack size or SKU becomes a short-ship. Preferred suppliers are the ones who turn POs around cleanly.

🔄 One stock picture

Magento availability and marketplace availability follow the same truth.

🛍️ Orders land where you pick

Magento as channel, or Magento as hub. Same choice as Shopify and WooCommerce.

✅ Faster PO to invoice

Shorter turnaround helps you stay a preferred supplier, and can mean more replenishment from Checkers Sixty60.

Seller Success Network review

Indispensable

“The amount of daily admin that Wherehouse has removed from our day-to-day business is spectacular. We couldn’t live without them. Selling through multiple channels has become manageable.”

Takealot, Xero, Shopify connected

“The Xero automation is the best part. It just handles all our invoicing in the background so we don’t have to. It’s simple, it works, and it’s clearly built for the SA market.”
