Hey guys,
I’m currently having trouble even starting this Zap, and so have many Zapier experts I’ve been asking.
Will you be able to solve this?
My store currently sources from Ebay.
We order direct from Ebay to our customers, and we always spend hours going through each Ebay order, finding the tracking number, figuring out which order it is on Shopify, and then pasting the tracking number from Ebay into the specific Shopify order. It takes up WAYYYY too much time.
That’s when I turned to Zapier.
I want to create an automation that will pull tracking numbers directly from Ebay (maybe from line items?), figure out the EXACT Shopify order it’s for, and then update the order as necessary.
The problem is that Ebay actions are only “FIND AN ORDER” or “CREATE A SHIPPING FULFILLMENT” and my Shopify trigger is “New Paid Order”.

According to some experts, this method doesn’t work since we are pulling the tracking number from Ebay, NOT Shopify.
So instead I decided to use Ebay as the trigger instead. I hoped that once there is a new order in Ebay, Zapier can look through that info and place it into a Shopify order.

Can someone advise me on this?
Thank you
