ApproveThis manages your Thiio Integration approvals.

Why Combine ApproveThis and Thiio?

Modern ecommerce moves fast - too fast for manual approval processes that create bottlenecks. Thiio provides the operational backbone for managing transactions, customers, and orders, while ApproveThis adds critical governance controls. Together through Zapier, these platforms create a closed-loop system where financial decisions keep pace with sales velocity without sacrificing oversight.

Mid-market retailers using Thiio typically process 500+ weekly transactions across multiple sales channels. Without automated approvals, finance teams drown in spreadsheets while department heads chase signatures. The integration solves this by embedding approval checkpoints directly into Thiio workflows. Purchase orders get automatic validation, high-risk customers trigger compliance reviews, and subscription cancellations require manager confirmation - all without leaving Thiio's interface.

Key Benefits for Ecommerce Teams

Finance Teams: Control Without Friction

A sporting goods company using Thiio reduced payment approval cycles from 72 hours to 45 minutes by setting automatic thresholds in ApproveThis. Transactions under $5K auto-approve via rules, while larger purchases route to department heads via email. Approvers don't need Thiio access - they review details in approval emails and click Accept/Reject. All decisions sync back to Thiio audit logs automatically.

Operations: Prevent Order Processing Errors

When a kitchenware merchant connects ApproveThis to Thiio's order system, any custom order requiring special packaging triggers a supervisor review. The ops team built a workflow where ApproveThis calculates shipping costs in real-time using product dimensions from Thiio. If estimates exceed $200, the system requires CFO approval before processing. This combination of conditional logic and live data prevents costly fulfillment mistakes.

Customer Success: Faster Onboarding

B2B sellers using Thiio's customer portal automate credit limit approvals through ApproveThis. New customer applications in Thiio trigger tiered reviews - sales managers approve basic accounts, while high-volume requests escalate to finance. Approved customers gain instant access to Thiio's portal with pre-set spending limits, cutting onboarding time from days to hours.

Four Operational Workflows Transformed

1. Transaction Compliance Guardrails

An outdoor apparel retailer processes $2M monthly through Thiio. Their finance team uses ApproveThis to:

• Auto-flag transactions exceeding department budgets
• Require dual approval for vendor payments over $15K
• Sync approved payments directly to Thiio for processing

Approval thresholds adapt dynamically - during peak season, limits automatically increase by 40% based on historical Thiio data. Vacation delegation ensures backups review requests if primary approvers are unavailable.

2. Order Validation at Scale

A beauty subscription box company reduced fulfillment errors by 68% using this integration. When Thiio receives an order, ApproveThis:

• Validates customer addresses against shipping zones
• Checks inventory levels in real-time
• Requires manager approval for backordered items

Approved orders flow back into Thiio with special handling instructions. If denied, Thiio automatically emails customers with alternatives using saved templates.

3. High-Risk Customer Vetting

An electronics wholesaler combats fraud by routing new Thiio customers through ApproveThis when:

 Orders exceed $10K
 Shipping addresses differ from billing
 Email domains match known spam patterns

Sales reps receive approval requests with risk scores calculated from Thiio data. Approvers can request additional documentation directly through the approval portal before enabling account access.

4. Subscription Cancellation Oversight

When customers request cancellations in Thiio, ApproveThis triggers retention workflows:

1. CSRs attempt save offers via email
2. Unsuccessful attempts escalate to managers
3. Final approvals sync cancellation dates to Thiio

A luxury retailer retains 23% of cancelling subscribers through this process, recovering $450K annually in recurring revenue.

Implementation Made Simple

Connecting ApproveThis and Thiio takes under 30 minutes through Zapier. Here's how:

Step 1: Map Critical Data Points

Identify Thiio triggers needing approvals:
- Transaction amounts
- Customer risk flags
- Order specifications
- Cancellation requests

Step 2: Configure Approval Logic

Build workflows in ApproveThis using:
 Conditional routing (e.g., "Route to CFO if >$20K")
 Calculated fields (e.g., "Profit margin < 15%")
 Auto-approval thresholds

Step 3: Connect via Zapier

Use the official Zapier integration to link platforms. Set up triggers for:

- New Thiio transactions  ApproveThis requests
- Approved requests  Thiio order processing
- Denied requests  Thiio exception queues

Pro Tip: Enable ApproveThis' email-based approvals so external partners can review requests without accessing Thiio.

Sustaining Operational Excellence

The real power emerges when using both platforms' analytics. Combine Thiio's sales data with ApproveThis' approval metrics to:

Identify Process Leaks
Track where approvals bottleneck - if 80% of marketing spend requests get approved, consider raising auto-approval limits.

Audit Compliance
Generate reports showing who approved high-risk transactions and how quickly, using timestamps from both systems.

Optimize Workflows
Analyze approval duration data to adjust escalation rules - if manager-level requests take 3+ days, add secondary approvers.

Start Scaling Responsibly

ApproveThis and Thiio create an operational rhythm where growth doesn't outpace governance. Finance teams maintain control without micromanaging, while operations teams move faster with automated checkpoints.
