Configuration

From this section, you'll decide how/what Logiwa imports from ShipStation. Expand the sections below to learn more about these functions.

If this is the first store you are connecting to Logiwa, we highly recommend connecting the store with the most comprehensive product catalog. If this is an additional store, we recommend that you check and update your product SKU codes so that your products can be linked in Logiwa. Doing so will prevent any duplicate products from being created.

Download Products

If selected, the system creates unique products in Logiwa based on the SKU in the connected store. This allows the system to smoothly import orders with the correct products.

  • If your product does not have a SKU, the system will utilize the product's Title as the SKU in Logiwa.

  • In the event that your product's Seller SKU and Name are not provided, Logiwa will be unable to create the product and will issue a warning in the Integration History section of the Integration Log.

  • When you change the following fields of the product from the connected store, it is reflected in Logiwa:

    • Barcode: Matches to the UPC of the product in Logiwa.

    • Price: Sales price of the product.

    • Image: Image(s) for the product.

    • Title: Matches to the Name and Description fields of the product in Logiwa.

    • Adding Variants: Variants are a different version of the product in Logiwa

  • If you modify any field of the product in Logiwa, these alterations will not have an impact on the store's product.

  • When you delete a product or a variant from your connected store, Logiwa will not automatically delete it.

  • If this option is not enabled, you can manually link your products from the Product Listings tab on the Product screen.

    • When you opt not to download products from your store, additional configuration options will appear under Download Orders to provide options for the system's actions when incoming orders do not have matching products.


Download Orders

When this option is enabled, Logiwa automatically downloads new sales orders and related customers to assist you in smoothly managing your shipment preparations. This includes tasks such as gathering the necessary products, packing them, printing the packing slip, and more. If this option is not enabled, you will need to manually download orders and add them to the system before proceeding with picking, packing, and shipping orders.

  • Once setup is completed, Logiwa downloads orders that are:

    • Paid

  • Draft, Fulfilled, or Cancelled orders are not downloaded to Logiwa.

  • After an order is downloaded to Logiwa, if it is cancelled from the store, Logiwa marks the order as Cancelled as well.

    • When an order is marked Cancelled, this cannot be undone.

    • If you cancel or delete an order in Logiwa, this action will not be sent to your store.

  • In addition to new orders, changes made to existing orders will be reflected after orders have been re-downloaded. For instance, if the Shipping Address of an order has been changed, you will see the same changes in Logiwa.

Let Logiwa Create Partial Orders

Appears when you have chosen not to download products.

When selected, Logiwa will create partial orders based only on the products that have been added to our system. It will not create new products for those that have not been created. This is an either/or selection with the below option.

Create Nonexistent Products When Orders Are Downloaded

Appears when you have chosen not to download products.

When selected, Logiwa will create a new entry in Logiwa for products downloaded from ShipStation that do not already have an entry. This will allow products to be added automatically. This is an either/or selection with the above option.


Send Shipment Info to My Store

When you ship an order with Logiwa, this option automatically updates the order in the ShipStation store as Fulfilled. If there is a tracking number on the order, Logiwa will also update it.

If this option is not enabled, ShipStation will not automatically update when orders are fulfilled, and any shipment info will need to be added manually to your store.


  • To complete setup, click the Finish button.

  • This will start the initial import process, which can take some time.

  • When the store has been integrated successfully, the status will change to Completed.
