SureDone Integration Notes

  • SureDone will only accept a shipment update if a tracking number is included. All SureDone orders should be shipped using a service that includes tracking. If using the Mark as Shipped action, you must include a value in the tracking number field.

  • Some fields, like Warehouse Location and the Custom Fields, will only be sent to ShipStation if you adjust the URL when connecting the store. See Connect a SureDone store to ShipStation for details on URL modifications.

SureDone Troubleshooting Tips

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

The Order Date in ShipStation is different than the Order Date in SureDone

What it means: This usually occurs because the SureDone server is using a different timezone than the timezone set in the store's settings in ShipStation, which causes the Order Date to be thrown off when converting the timestamp based on time zone.

What to do: Update the store's settings so the store is using the same timezone as the server your SureDone store is hosted on.

Certain orders placed late in the day are not importing into ShipStation

What it means: Similar to the issue above, this typically occurs because the SureDone server is using a different timezone than the timezone set in the store's settings in ShipStation, which causes our import process to inadvertently skip ahead.

What to do: Update the store's settings so the store is using the same timezone as the server your SureDone store is hosted on.
