Integration Notes

Here are some things you should keep in mind about ShipStation's integration with Ecwid:

  • ShipStation will not import digital products, or any product which is set to not require shipping.

Troubleshooting Tips

Here are some common issues experienced by users, potential causes, and available troubleshooting tips.

Issue

How to troubleshoot or resolve

My Ecwid store is updating without any errors, but no orders are importing.

This typically means that ShipStation is able to contact your store successfully, but no orders are importing either because all the products are digital, or because the orders do not require shipping.

This can occur if you do not create shipping methods in your Ecwid store that your customer can select at checkout. Without a shipping method, a customer won't be able to enter a Ship To Address and the created Ecwid order will not require shipping.

Check out this article from Ecwid for advice on creating shipping methods.
