How to Setup ShipStation?

Navigate to Vendor Dashboard > Settings > Shipstation.

When you go to the ShipStation option you will see the vendor view.

Vendors need to generate credentials by clicking on the Generate Credentials button-

Then the vendors will get three credentials-

  • Authentication Key (DOKANS-xxx format)
  • Consumer Key (ck_xxx format)
  • Consumer Secret

Important: Copy all three credentials immediately! For security reasons, the Consumer Secret will be hidden once you leave or refresh the page.

Vendors can revoke their credentials as well-

Besides, your vendors need to set:

  • Export Order Statuses: Define the order statuses they wish to export to ShipStation- EOS
  • Shipped Order Statuses: Define the order status vendors wish to update to once an order has been shipping via ShipStation. By default, this is Completed. – SOS
