To get started, you'll need to retrieve the API key from your ShipStation account.
To use ShipStation's API, you'll need to generate an API Key and Secret, which will be included with any calls made to the API. The Key and Secret are used to authenticate the API calls so that ShipStation updates the information within your specific account.
Go to Account Settings
.
Select Account
from the left-hand sidebar, then choose API Settings
.
Click Generate New API Keys
if no key and secret are listed yet.
Copy your key
and secret.
If you've already generated your API keys, the existing API keys will be displayed here, and the button will say Regenerate API Keys.
If you already have API keys, do NOT generate new ones. Instead, copy your existing key and secret.
Within ShipStation, DSTNC will automatically provide a link to a branded packing slip within the notes section. The name of DSTNC will also be visible in the notes section to help distinguish dropship orders from your own orders. Finally, the source will also be set to DSTNC.
If you have multiple different stores, you may want to provide DSTNC with the Store ID. To find the store ID, you will need to go to Selling Channels > Store setup and click on Edit next to the store you want to connect to DSTNC. The URL will then display a number at the end, which is the Store ID.
Once items are shipped in ShipStation, the tracking details will automatically be imported back into DSTNC, and a shipping confirmation email will be sent to the customer.
