After reviewing and completing the ShipStation ODBC requirements, the next steps when adding an ODBC store to ShipStation are to download and install the ShipWorks ODBC client software and to sign in.
To connect ShipStation to an ODBC database, first go to your ShipStation account's store settings to download the ShipStation ODBC program. You must install this program on a Windows computer. Detailed instructions below.

Scope of Support
Installing the ODBC Client to the computer and gaining access to the database used for ODBC are outside of ShipStation's scope of support. We recommend you contact your network administrator or information technology team if you need assistance with the installation of the ODBC client or access to the database, as the process can differ based on the unique configurations.
-
Locate the ShipStation ODBC Setup.exe file you downloaded in the previous section. Then, open the installer by double clicking on the file.
-
If prompted, answer Yes, that you wish to launch the ODBC installer.
-
Click the Install button on the Ready to Install screen.
-
Enter your ShipStation Username and Password. Then, click the Sign In button.
What's next?
Now that the ShipStation ODBC client software is installed you can add an ODBC store and connect to your data source.
