What information synchronizes to ShipStation?

Scheduled Sales Orders utilizing a Ship Via marked as "Send to ShipStation". This includes some order detail information.

Much like any other shipping workstation integration within Acctivate, the ShipStation sync will only send shipping information for orders that are scheduled. Once the ShipStation Service is setup in Configuration Management, Acctivate checks the following before sending order header and detail information to ShipStation:

  • Only Scheduled Sales Orders are included. Credit memos and quotes are not eligible to be sent to ShipStation.
  • The Sales Order must be assigned a ShipVia which is configured to be sent to ShipStation.
  • The Sales Order must have at least one scheduled line item. This excludes Completed, Booked or Backordered Order Statuses. 
  • The Sales Order must not have a credit hold.
