How to switch to ShipStation
Table of Contents
This article is intended for users who have already established a shop integration, such as Shopify, and wish to transition to using ShipStation exclusively.
Overview
This article explains how to switch to ShipStation from your current store integration. 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.
Instructions
⚠️ To ensure a smooth setup without accidental duplicates, it’s best to connect Shopify first, followed by ShipStation. Doing it in this order allows the system to recognize your Shopify orders immediately, ensuring they are excluded from the initial sync and preventing the same order from appearing twice.
