ShipStation Component

ShipStation

ShipStation is an ecommerce shipping software solution.

Component key: shipstation

Description​

ShipStation is an e-commerce shipping solution that streamlines the order fulfillment process. This component allows you to list, create, update, and delete orders and shipments in your ShipStation account.

Documentation for the Axios client used in this component is available at Axios GitHub Repository.

A frequent integration pattern is to list orders or shipments from ShipStation and perform actions on the array of orders or shipments returned.

See our Looping Over Orders quickstart for details on how to create a loop over an array of orders.
