On the sidebar under Organization, click Integrations.
In the Fulfillment Providers section, click + New.
Select the Shipstation option from the menu.
On the Settings tab, under the General section, click the slider to enable the service and enter a name if desired. We allow you to install this integration multiple times, it is best to give this App a custom name if you intend to install ShipStation more than once.
In the Notifications tab, you can enter an email address or multiple email addresses (separated by commas) to receive error messages from the integration (e.g., invalid shipping addresses, invalid tracking numbers, or issues preventing orders and fulfillments from flowing through).
In the Authorization section, enter the API Key and API Secret after setting up Acenda as a Shipstation partner and generating the API Key and Secret within your Shipstation admin. To generate an API Key and Secret, follow these steps:
Log in to your ShipStation account and go to Account Settings.
Select Account from the side navigation, then choose API Settings.
Click "Generate New API Keys" if no key and secret are listed yet. If you already have API keys, the button will read "Regenerate API Keys".
Copy your key and secret and paste them into their corresponding fields in the Authorization section.
In the Setup section, enter the Sales Channel IDs and Warehouse IDs you want associated with Shipstation fulfillment.
The Store ID is an optional field and should only be used if you have multiple ShipStation stores within the same ShipStation account.
The Sales Channel ID is found by navigating to the Integrations tab under Organization on the sidebar and clicking Edit next to the sales channel, and noting the Sales Channel ID at the top.
The Warehouse ID can be found by navigating to the Warehouses tab under Data Management on the sidebar and noting the warehouse ID in the leftmost column.
In the Order Number Assignment field, select the order number to use in identifying orders, either the external ID (the full sales channel order number), the purchase order ID (the abbreviated sales channel order number), or the order number (the Acenda order ID). It is recommended that the external ID be used.
When finished, click Save.
