NOTE: You can also set up a warehouse location for your products. If you want to send a warehouse location to ShipStation all you have to do is create a product custom field titled ShipStationWarehouseLocation . (Be sure to use that name exactly including capitalization and no spaces. Then any products that have a value for that setting will pass it over to ShipStation on sync.
NOTE: If you are having issues getting certain orders to work, check to see if it is a custom status. If it is, you'll have to turn on the statuses in the Shipstation Settin
Note your order statuses so you can enter them in the ShipStation. Note that these ShipStation statuses can accept a CSV list of multiple statuses for each, so statuses cannot have commas. Our default “Approved, Pending Shipping” needs to be changed, as it would appear to the ShipStation config as two statuses, “Approved” and “Pending Shipping”.
If you already have an account with Shipstation and wish to start from the admin panel,
In the ShipStation admin, click Settings > Stores > Add a New Store.
- Click Custom Store/ Americommerce Spark Pay Online Stores Store at the bottom:
On the Custom Store Setup page
- Enter the Spark Pay online store user and password you configured.
- The URL will be the following, note it MUST be https. Use your SSL Domain in place of “yoursecuredomain”. If you change your SSL Domain at any time it will need to be updated here:
- https://yoursecuredomain/store/integration/shipstation/shipstationxml.aspx
- Populate your Spark Pay online stores Order Statuses for each status in ShipStation.
- Click Test connection to verify your username/password and URL settings.
Troubleshooting:
Make sure in your settings for Shipstation under Apps & Add-Ons that your Shipped Order Status is set. If you have it set to none, you won't see any order statuses change in sync with the status that they do in the Spark Pay online store.
