Frequently Asked Questions about ShipStation + Shopify integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with ShipStation and Shopify

How do I connect ShipStation with Shopify?

To connect ShipStation with Shopify, first log in to your Shopify account and install the ShipStation app from the Shopify App Store. Once installed, you can link your accounts by entering your ShipStation API key inside the app settings on Shopify. This creates a direct connection allowing triggers like order creation in Shopify to automatically create shipping labels in ShipStation.

What triggers are available when integrating ShipStation with Shopify?

When integrating ShipStation with Shopify, you can use triggers such as 'New Order' which starts an action like creating a shipping label in ShipStation. Another trigger is 'Order Fulfilled', which can prompt actions such as sending a tracking number back to the customer through their order information.

Can I automate printing shipping labels when a new order is placed on Shopify?

Yes, you can automate this process by setting up a trigger on new orders placed in Shopify which will then initiate an action in ShipStation to print the shipping label. This eliminates manual intervention and speeds up the fulfillment process.

How do I ensure my inventory levels are synced between Shopify and ShipStation?

Our integration does not directly sync inventory levels between Shopify and ShipStation. Instead, inventory management must be handled through separate systems or apps that update inventory based on orders processed through these platforms.

Does integrating with ShopStation affect my shipping rates on Shopify?

Integrating with ShipStation itself does not alter your shipping rates within Shopify. However, it allows you to apply custom rules or conditions for different carriers and methods via ShipStation that may result in varied costs based on how these are set up.

What happens if there's an error syncing an order from Shopify to ShipStation?

If there's an error during the syncing of an order from Shopify to ShipStation, our system typically alerts you within your dashboard. You can manually retry syncing or check connection settings and orders details for discrepancies that may need correction.

Can I customize how my shipping labels appear using this integration?

Yes, customization of shipping labels is possible. Using our integration, when actions are triggered in response to events like new orders or address changes within Shopify, you can apply branded templates and design elements within your labeled shipments processed by ShipStation.
