How to resolve Http status returned from ShipStation: Payment Required (402)

ShipStation may return the following error when creating Orders for shipment in ShipStation if the ShipStation plan being used is insufficient.

Acctivate utilizes the ShipStation API in order to send orders to ShipStation, as well as receive back shipments.  ShipStation requires a certain level of plan in order to send/receive information via the ShipStation API.

Error:  Http status returned from ShipStation: Payment Required (402)

Explanation: This error indicates that the API keys were previously generated for a ShipStation account, in which the ShipStation plan no longer meets the requirements for API access. 

Solution: Third party apps can create orders in ShipStation using the ShipStation V1 API. ShipStation requires that the account have Scale-Gold, Accelerate, or higher plans. If you're receiving this message, then you must upgrade your account to one of the plans mentioned and re-generate API keys.
