Instructions on how to create a manual store in ShipStation.
A manual store in ShipStation is a good option if you plan to upload orders via a CSV file or you occasionally need to add orders that do not import from a connected store.
By default, ShipStation provides one Manual Store so you can immediately create orders, even if you are not quite ready to connect a selling channel.
Add as many Manual Stores as you need to help organize your orders in whichever way works best for you.
To add a manual store:
-
Type ShipStation into the search bar.
-
Select the ShipStation tile.
-
Set your store options:
-
Name the store as you want it to appear in the Orders tab.
-
Check the box to Automatically generate order numbers if you'd like ShipStation to number your orders for you. Auto-numbering can apply to orders you create using the New Order button or orders you import via CSV file.
-
Set the first order number and any prefix you'd like these order numbers to have.
-
-
Click Connect.
Once connected, set your manual-store settings for branding, notifications, and other options just as you would for any connected store.
