Three Ways We Deliver Stability

Managed Services for Your Commerce Stack

We embed support directly into your operations, tackling issues from the frontend to the back office.

Proactive Support

You were told the system runs itself. In reality, constant change and vendor updates create instability. We provide ongoing support that anticipates problems.

System Orchestration

You were told integrations just work. The truth is they drift, break, and leak revenue. We manage the data flows between critical systems to ensure consistency.

  • Cross-System Data Audits
  • API Endpoint Monitoring
  • Integration Error Triage
  • Webhook Reliability Checks
  • Data Mapping & Validation

Operational Intelligence

You were promised a single source of truth. Instead, you have alerts without context. Our AI surfaces silent failures and revenue leaks before they hit your P&L.

Silent Revenue Leaks

Common Points of Failure We Fix

These are not theoretical risks. They are frequent, costly issues we actively manage for our clients.

Shopify Location Mismatches

Stock appears available online but cannot be fulfilled from the assigned warehouse location, leading to cancelled orders.

Symptoms

  • Spike in order cancellations for specific SKUs.
  • Customer complaints about orders being voided after purchase.
  • Manual inventory adjustments in Shopify to 'fix' stock levels.

Business Impact

Lost revenue, damaged customer trust, and operational drag from manual order refunds and corrections.

Root Causes

  • Incorrect `location_id` mapping in ERP or WMS integration.
  • 3PL provides inventory data without location context.
  • Flawed logic in a custom app that assigns stock.

How Cogent2 Resolves This

Audit and correct `location_id` mapping in the integration layer. Implement real-time, location-aware inventory updates. Monitor for overselling at a per-location level.

Order Edit Webhook Gaps

An operator edits an order in Shopify, but the change never reaches the ERP or WMS.

Symptoms

  • Warehouse ships the original, unedited order.
  • Finance system contains incorrect order totals.
  • Customer service tickets from confused customers receiving wrong items.

Business Impact

High cost of re-shipping correct items, inventory shrinkage, and erosion of post-purchase trust.

Root Causes

  • Middleware not subscribed to the `orders/edited` webhook.
  • Custom fulfilment logic that only listens for `orders/create`.
  • Rate-limiting or timeouts causing webhook delivery failures.

How Cogent2 Resolves This

Ensure all downstream systems subscribe to and can process `orders/edited` webhooks. Implement a reconciliation process to compare Shopify orders against ERP/WMS data daily.

Payout Reconciliation Drift

The total value of payouts from Shopify Payments does not match the sum of orders recorded in the finance system.

Symptoms

  • Finance team spends days manually matching payouts to orders.
  • Discrepancies between reported revenue and cash in bank.
  • Inability to close month-end books on time.

Business Impact

Unreliable financial reporting, wasted accounting resources, and hidden losses from fees, refunds, or chargebacks.

Root Causes

  • Ignoring foreign exchange differences and payment gateway fees.
  • Refunds not being correctly reconciled against the original transaction.
  • Timing differences between order date and payout date.

How Cogent2 Resolves This

Automate the ingestion of Shopify Payout reports. Build a reconciliation model that accounts for fees, refunds, and currency conversion. Use CogentAI to flag discrepancies automatically.

Unintended Promo Stacking on Plus

Customers are able to combine multiple Shopify Scripts and automatic discounts to erode or eliminate product margin.

Symptoms

  • Sales with near-zero or negative margin.
  • Unusually high discount rates on an order level.
  • Marketing reports showing campaign ROI based on full price.

Business Impact

Direct margin loss, skewed performance metrics, and potential for organised abuse of the checkout.

Root Causes

  • Conflicting logic between multiple active Shopify Scripts.
  • A new automatic discount overriding the exclusion rules of a script.
  • Poorly defined test cases during script deployment.

How Cogent2 Resolves This

Centralise discount logic management. Implement a strict testing and QA process for any new script or automatic discount. Use monitoring to alert on orders exceeding a maximum allowable discount threshold.
