AJIO exposes AJIO Seller Central + Bulk XLSX + XML feed. Core integration surfaces: orders (pull + acknowledge), inventory (push levels), catalog (bulk XLSX + API), returns (webhook), settlements (statement download). Brands without OMS integration operate at 3โ€“5x higher error rate + 40โ€“60% more manual effort. Zaroori Jini OMS provides native AJIO connector with 15-minute sync.

  • API surface: AJIO Seller Central + Bulk XLSX + XML feed
  • Core endpoints: Orders, Inventory, Catalog, Returns, Settlement
  • Auth: OAuth 2.0 / API key + HMAC signature
  • Rate limits: 60โ€“300 requests/min per endpoint
  • Zaroori Jini OMS native connector: 15-min sync + auto-retry

AJIO's AJIO Seller Central + Bulk XLSX + XML feed is production-grade but under-documented. Brands attempting DIY integration hit 3 common walls: (1) auth rotation not handled โ†’ tokens expire mid-sync, (2) rate limits triggered โ†’ orders queue up, (3) webhook delivery not idempotent โ†’ duplicate order creation. A proven OMS connector (like Zaroori Jini OMS) abstracts all three.

Integration architecture (recommended)

  1. 1
    OMS as source of truth
    Never sync AJIO directly to Shopify/WooCommerce. Route everything through an OMS to prevent double-sales.
  2. 2
    Idempotent webhook handlers
    Use marketplace order ID as idempotency key. Deduplicate at DB level, not app level.
  3. 3
    Auth rotation cron
    Refresh OAuth tokens 24 hours before expiry. Never wait for a 401.
  4. 4
    Rate limit backpressure
    Exponential backoff on 429s. Queue writes when approaching rate limit.
  5. 5
    Observability
    Log every API call + response. Alert on error rate > 0.5% or latency > 2s.
