Connect an AmeriCommerce store to ShipStation

To connect your AmeriCommerce store to ShipStation:

  1. Login to your Americommerce online store.

  2. Click Settings, then Security, then Users.

  3. Click New (top right) and create a new user with a role set to administrator.

    This will allow ShipStation to access and update orders.

    This will allow ShipStation to update orders in Americommerce to a shipped status once they have shipped in ShipStation.

    If you have multiple stores, set the desired order status for each store.

  5. Select the AmeriCommerce tile.

  6. Enter the credentials created in Step 3 into the Username and Password fields, along with the Store URL for your store.

  7. Modify your custom orders statuses in the corresponding fields if you have any custom order statuses other than the default AmeriCommerce statuses.

    These are not case sensitive, but must be separated by commas. Statuses using commas in AmeriCommerce must be entered without the comma.

    • Example: If the AmeriCommerce status is Approved, Pending Shipping, the ShipStation status should be Approved Pending Shipping

After you've completed the above steps, your AmeriCommerce store will be connected to ShipStation. You'll be taken to the store's Settings page to adjust the store-specific settings like Branding, Notifications, and Product handling.
