The Shopify order isn't the hard part. The supplier reply, tracking, and invoice match are the hard parts.
AutoPurchaseOrders (autopurchaseorders.com) is a focused Shopify app that auto-creates POs from sales orders for dropship operations. LineNow is a closed-loop procurement platform built around a living purchase order — the system keeps the buying workflow connected, from sending the PO to reading the supplier's reply to updating inventory, without duplicate entry between steps.
Both can auto-create dropship POs. LineNow does that, plus everything that comes after the PO — and works for any business model, not just dropship.
TL;DR
| AutoPurchaseOrders | LineNow | |

| Dropship auto-PO from Shopify sales | Yes (the core feature) | Yes |
| Multi-supplier routing by location | Yes | Yes |
| Closed-loop control (no duplicate entry) | No — sends PO, then stops | Yes — living PO loop |
