This article is intended for users who have already established a shop integration, such as Shopify, and wish to transition to using ShipStation exclusively.
Getting Started
ShipStation sync includes a feature that automatically identifies orders that have already been synced, ensuring that they are skipped during the synchronization process to avoid any duplication of orders.
If you manage two stores, one linked to Shopify and the other to ShipStation, it's essential to adhere to the correct integration sequence.
