Description

Houzz Packing Slips

When you connect your Houzz store to ShipStation, ShipStation will create two custom packing slip templates (one 4" x 6", one 8.5" x 11") to be used for your Houzz shipments.

If a store allows custom statuses, this means you define that statuses your orders use in your selling channel. In most cases, if you have custom statuses you'll need to define which ShipStation statuses each custom order status corresponds to.

ShipStation will import the customer's email address with the order data and can send shipment confirmation and delivery emails to that email address (configured in your Store settings).

ShipStation will import the customer phone number with the order data.

ShipStation will import the shipping method chosen by the customer during their store checkout.

ShipStation will import the payment method used to pay for the order.

ShipStation will import discount and coupon information for the order.

ShipStation can determine if an order is a gift from the order data sent by the store.

ShipStation will import internal notes or order activity from the store into the ShipStation Internal Notes field.

ShipStation will import notes provided by the customer when they made their purchase.

ShipStation will import the total order weight from the store.

ShipStation will import the weight for each line item in the order.

ShipStation will import an image URL for each line item in the order. These images will appear as thumbnails in your Order Details and can be included in email notifications and packing slips.

ShipStation will import item options (such as color or size) for each line item in the order. This data will appear in your Order Details and can be included in customer emails and packing slips.

ShipStation will import a product stock location for each line item in the order.

Additional Details about the Houzz Integration

  • When updating a Houzz order as shipped, Houzz requires both a carrier and shipping service to be submitted. Since the Mark as Complete action only allows you to set the carrier and not service, ShipStation can only submit the tracking number with a carrier / service set as 'Others'.

  • ShipStation cannot send emails for Houzz orders. All customer notifications will be handled by Houzz.
