Stray Anchor Purchase Orders

For Shopify purchase orders

Send purchase orders.
Get answers. Chase what's late.

Shopify's purchase orders can't be emailed, and supplier replies get lost in your inbox. We send them, collect every answer and read the replies for you, all on the orders you already make in Shopify.

Send

Your purchase order, in your supplier's inbox in one click

Open any purchase order you've made in Shopify, check the message and send. Your supplier gets a tidy PDF, a CSV for their system and one link to confirm.

  • Sent from your store's name, with replies coming back to you
  • Supplier SKUs, payment terms and your business details on the PDF
  • No second system: Shopify's purchase orders stay the source of truth

Confirm

Suppliers answer from a link. No login, no portal.

Suppliers confirm everything, change quantities or prices, or tell you they can't supply, and give a delivery date. It works on a phone in under a minute.

  • Their answer appears on the order straight away
  • Their date updates Shopify's incoming shipment, when there is one

Replies

Supplier replies, read for you

Most suppliers just hit reply. We read the email and lay out what changed: new dates, short supply, price rises. Every change quotes their own words, and nothing changes until you approve it.

  • Flags replies that aren't from your supplier's real address
  • Warns you when an email mentions new bank details

Chase

Know what's late before your customers do

Orders with no answer, or with a delivery date that has passed, come to the top. A polite reminder is one click, and a short morning email tells you only when something needs you.

  • Late and unanswered orders flagged automatically
  • Reminders threaded under the original email

  • UPC, EAN and Code 128 barcodes from your products
  • Start part-way down a used sheet

Built so suppliers can trust the orders you send

Clearly from you

Every email names your store and its website, so suppliers know exactly who's ordering and can check before supplying.

Safe links only

The only link in an order email is the supplier's private confirm page, so there's nothing to phish with.

Fraud warnings

Replies from the wrong address, failed sender checks and "our bank details have changed" emails are flagged before you act.

Questions

Does it use Shopify's own purchase orders?

Yes. You keep creating purchase orders in Shopify (Products → Purchase orders). We send them, track the answers and never keep a second copy for you to maintain.

Will it change my stock or costs?

No. Stock and costs only change when you receive in Shopify. Supplier answers are recorded against the order, and anything read from an email waits for your approval.

Do my suppliers need an account?

No. They get an email with the PDF and a private link. They can also just reply, and we read it for you.

Where is my data kept?

On servers in Sydney, Australia. We don't access your customers or their orders. Read the privacy policy for the details.

Which countries does it work in?

Any country Shopify sells in. Purchase orders use your store's currency and date format, and tax is labelled GST, VAT or tax to match.
