MNG Shipping Shopify Integration: Setup and Configuration Guide

Although MNG Kargo does not have a Shopify app directly belonging to it, this integration is now solved quite practically thanks to native app developers and intermediary platforms. This process, which used to be made possible only by custom API development, can now be set up in minutes via ready-made apps or middleware platforms that can be downloaded from the Shopify App Store. In this guide, we cover modern application solutions that put an end to manual data entry, technical requirements, and critical points to speed up your operation.

What is MNG Shipping Shopify Integration and How Does It Work?

MNG Shipping Shopify integration is a connection infrastructure that synchronizes order data in your Shopify store with MNG Cargo's API system and automates shipping label generation, tracking number forwarding, and delivery notifications. Unlike domestic and ARAS, MNG does not have an official application in the Shopify App Store, so the integration is necessarily installed through middleware or proprietary software.

MNG Kargo has a strong distribution network, especially in Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir, with more than 600 branches in Turkey. In B2B shipments to large cities and organized industrial zones, MNG has a well-established credibility in the industry. For e-commerce stores that ship over 500 monthly shipments, negotiated shipping rates can get competitive.

Comparison of Shopify Compatibility between MNG Cargo and Competitor Companies

MNG Kargo's Shopify integration path is more complicated compared to Domestic and ARAS. To understand what this difference means in terms of business decision, you need to compare the key characteristics between the three firms.

MNG Cargo Enterprise Agreement and API Access

For MNG Shipping Shopify integration, you must first sign MNG's enterprise customer agreement and request API access. This process can take 5—10 business days until API information is provided.

Contract Process

1. mngkargo.com.tr → Fill in the customer representative request form from the Corporate Solutions section.
2. The agent will reach out to you and ask about your monthly shipment volume, product types, and delivery regions.
3. If you can commit 500 shipments per month, provide this information during the interview, and the negotiated price negotiation will start faster.
4. Once the contract is signed, your API credentials are identified from the MNG enterprise portal.

API Credentials

Information needed for MNG Freight API integration: Customer code (CustomerCode), API username and password (Username/Password), branch code (BranchCode — required for some regions), production and sandbox endpoint URLs. All of this information is provided through the MNG corporate portal or through your agent.

⚠️ ATTENTION: MNG Cargo API credentials are refreshed from time to time with periodic security updates. If shipping labels suddenly fail to be generated after integration, your first check step should be to verify that the API password is up to date.

MNG Shipping Shopify Integration Methods with Middleware

There are two main ways to connect MNG Shipping to Shopify: middleware platform and custom API development. The following table summarizes the available options and which store in which profile should prefer which one.

Method A: Integration with Geliver

Geliver is one of the most widely used Shopify shipping middleware platforms in Turkey and allows you to manage five major shipping companies, including MNG Cargo, in one panel. For a subscription fee ranging from $30—60 per month, it automatically forwards orders from Shopify to the shipping company and writes the tag and tracking number to the Shopify order.

1. Install the Come in app on apps.shopify.com.
2. Select 'Add Cargoer' → 'MNG Shipping' in the Folder panel.
3. Enter your MNG API information (CustomerCode, Username, Password) into Geliver.
4. Connect your Shopify store from the Import panel (OAuth authorization).
5. Define shipping rules: determine which order type to use MNG.
6. Create a test order and validate the label.

Method B: Custom API Development

Custom API development is the most flexible solution for stores that process more than 2000 orders per month, work with an ERP or WMS system, or need customized warehouse workflows. In this method, MNG Kargo's REST API connects directly to Shopify webhooks, eliminating the middleware cost, and the workflow can be fully customized.

Although custom development requires a project-based cost initially, high volumes of middleware pay off the subscription fee in a very short time. Nodus Works is with you in these types of enterprise integration projects.

Test and Verification After Installation

The MNG Cargo integration must be tested on at least five different scenarios before the MNG Cargo integration goes live. Skipping a feature without testing turns into a bug that affects customers in the live environment.

Test Scenarios

• Standard order: Is the label being created? Does the tracking number fall on a Shopify order?
• Heavy order (5kg+): Does the Desi account work correctly? Is the price calculation consistent?
• Different cities: Is label production at delivery addresses outside Istanbul smooth?
• Cancelled order: How does the cargo system react in case of cancellation?
• Return order: Is the return shipment from the customer recorded correctly in the system?

Common Problems with MNG Cargo Integration

MNG Shipping The vast majority of issues encountered with Shopify integration are due to middleware connection configuration, API credentials, and Shopify product data deficiencies.

Problem: Middleware Disconnected

Solution: The middleware platform (e.g. Geliver) check the dashboard. If the connection status has turned red, the MNG API password is usually renewed. Get the current password from the MNG enterprise portal and enter the connection settings of the middleware platform.

Problem: Shipping Label Not Generating

Solution: Check if the province/county information at the delivery address matches the area code format in the MNG system. MNG may not accept the address format of some small settlements, in which case you may need to make a redirect to the nearby large county.

Problem: Tracking Number Not Falling Into Order

Solution: Check the middleware webhook settings. Verify that the webhook URL between Shopify and middleware is active. Webhook URLs can be reset after some platform updates; reauthorize the Shopify link from the middleware panel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does MNG Kargo have a Shopify app?

Although MNG Kargo does not have a first-party app directly in the Shopify App Store, the process is no longer “complicated” thanks to native software in the ecosystem. Integration can be completed in minutes through apps running directly within Shopify, such as EnteGreApp, Cancer, or Pax Digital, or middleware platforms such as Geliver and Integrationum.com. These methods eliminate the cost of custom API development, making MNG Shipping an accessible and manageable option just like Domestic or Aras.

What is the minimum volume requirement for MNG Cargo corporate contract?

MNG Cargo typically requests a monthly commitment of 500 shipments for enterprise API access. It should be borne in mind that if MNG is preferred for stores below this threshold, the middleware fee may be much higher than the benefit provided by it.

Can I use Aras or Domestic at the same time in Shopify with MNG Shipping?

Yep. Middleware platforms (Geliver, Integration, etc.) allow you to manage multiple shipping companies through a single panel. You can automatically redirect your Shopify orders to different shipping companies according to the rules you want, for example, orders within Istanbul MNG, other cities Domestic.

How long does MNG Cargo API integration take?

Technical installation can be completed within 3—8 hours if middleware such as Geliver is used once the MNG Cargo API information is provided. Custom API development, on the other hand, takes 2—5 business days, depending on your business requirements. To this it is necessary to add the contract process (5—10 working days).

Is MNG Shipping suitable for Shopify?

MNG Cargo is a suitable option for stores that process more than 500 orders per month and deliver heavily to major cities such as Istanbul and Ankara.

How to use multiple shipping companies in Shopify?

In Shopify, multiple shipping companies are used by assigning different companies to different delivery regions from Settings → Shipping and delivery → Manage. Middleware platforms, on the other hand, can manage all companies through one panel and make automatic courier selection based on order characteristics (weight, region, speed).

MNG Shipping Shopify integration is more complex in terms of setup steps than Domestic or ARAS, but with the right choice of middleware and sufficient order volume, it offers the advantage of competitive shipping costs and a reliable delivery network.

If you process less than 500 orders per month, we recommend that you first start with the official Shopify apps of Domestic or Aras Kargo and add MNG to your portfolio as your volume grows.
