ApproveThis manages your Kennis.shop Integration approvals.

When E-Commerce Meets Approval Sanity

Let’s be real – selling stuff online should be the easy part. You get the dopamine hit of a new sale, then immediately get dragged into approval purgatory. Was this discount allowed? Does fulfillment have capacity? Who’s covering the shipping costs this time? Kennis.shop handles the first mile (taking money), while ApproveThis handles the messy middle (getting everyone to agree on what happens next). Together, they’re like a bouncer and a bartender for your sales process – one lets the good customers in, the other keeps internal chaos out.

What Each Brings to the Party

Kennis.shop: Your Checkout Line Quarterback

Kennis.shop isn’t trying to be Shopify. It’s for teams who need a dead-simple way to take payments now without IT holding their hand. Create a checkout page, share the link, and track sales in real-time. Perfect for one-off product drops, service deposits, or those “we’ll figure out logistics later” moments. Their entire vibe is “sell first, ask questions eventually.”

ApproveThis: The Adult in the Room

ApproveThis is where you put guardrails on that “sell first” energy. It’s the system that asks:

• “Hey Finance – did this client actually pay their last invoice before we ship $5K in gear?”
• “Legal – does this custom order void our warranty?”
• “Operations – can we actually deliver this by Christmas or are we overpromising again?”

With features like automatic approval thresholds (e.g., “anything over $10K needs CFO eyes”) and vacation rerouting, it’s built for companies where decisions involve multiple departments – but nobody wants another app to log into.

Why This Combo Doesn’t Suck

Most approval tools make you choose between speed and control. Connect Kennis.shop + ApproveThis via Zapier, and you get:

• No more “Oops, forgot to check with…” – Auto-create approval tasks the second a sale happens
• Approvals that actually match how you work – Escalate big deals, auto-okay small stuff, loop in external partners without buying them software seats
• Less “Where are we on…?” – Sales, finance, and ops see approval status without scheduling a damn meeting

Real-World Ways This Saves Your Sanity

Use Case 1: The “Wait, Did We Agree to That?” Preventer

Template: New Kennis.shop sale → ApproveThis review before fulfillment
Who Cares: Retailers, agencies, anyone who’s ever had a salesperson overpromise
How It Works:

Your sales team uses Kennis.shop to collect a $15K custom order deposit. ApproveThis automatically:

- Checks if the client’s payment terms are up to date (via connected accounting software)
- Pings production to confirm timeline feasibility
- Requires CMO sign-off if the custom branding request exceeds standard hours
…Then marks the sale as “approved” in Kennis.shop once all boxes are checked.

Use Case 2: The “Why Is This Stuck?” Dashboard

Template: ApproveThis decision → Update Kennis.shop sale status
Who Cares: Leadership, customer support teams tired of making up excuses
How It Works:

When ApproveThis approves/denies a request, Kennis.shop automatically:

- Tags the sale as “Confirmed” or “Pending Review”
- Triggers customer emails (via your ESP) with realistic timelines
- Updates inventory counts only after final approval
No more overselling because someone forgot to click a button.

Setting This Up Without Losing a Day

Zapier’s doing the heavy lifting here. Basic flow:

1. Kennis.shop → ApproveThis: New sale triggers an approval request. Map critical data (amount, product SKUs, customer notes) into ApproveThis’ fields.
2. ApproveThis → Your Stack: Add steps to check inventory (via spreadsheets/ERP), ping Slack channels, or whatever else your process requires.
3. ApproveThis → Kennis.shop: Push back the final verdict to update the sale’s status, trigger next steps.

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-flag high-risk sales. Example: If sale amount ÷ customer’s last payment delay = over 5, route to collections team first.

Who Wins (Besides Your Bottom Line)

Sales Teams

Stop babysitting deals through approval limbo. If a sale needs legal’s okay, that’s ApproveThis’ job now. Your commission check shouldn’t depend on Susan from legal checking her inbox.

Finance Departments

Set rules like “Any sale with extended payment terms needs VP review” without being the bad guys. ApproveThis enforces policies; you just get to say “the system says no” (politely, of course).

Operations Managers

Know exactly which sales are confirmed vs. which might need resourcing. No more surprise $100K orders that your team hears about via a panicked all-hands meeting.

Customer Support

Real-time approval status = fewer “Where’s my order?” tickets. If it’s stuck in approvals, you see why – no more transferring calls to six departments.

The Big Picture

Kennis.shop + ApproveThis isn’t about adding more process. It’s about making the process you already have less manual, less prone to human forgetfulness, and less likely to result in someone yelling in a Slack thread. You sell something, the right people get asked the right questions at the right time, and everyone can stop pretending they enjoy approval-related paperwork.
