Use Connex with ShipStation

To use Connex with ShipStation, you'll need to generate an API key and secret in ShipStation and enter them in your Connex for QuickBooks or Connex Inventory Planner account during the setup process.

To get your API key and secret:

  1. Go to Account Settings.

    Closeup of ShipStation toolbar with outline marking the Settings icon.

  2. Select Account from the left-hand sidebar, then choose API Settings.

    Settings Sidebar: Account dropdown. Red box highlights API Settings option.

  3. Click Generate New API Keys if no key and secret are listed yet.

    Account settings: API Keys: Reads, "You haven't generated any API keys". Generate New API Keys button.

    Generated API Keys

    If you've already generated your API keys, the existing API keys will be displayed here and the button will say Regenerate API Keys.

    If you already have API keys, do NOT generate new ones. Instead, copy your existing key and secret.

  4. Copy your key and secret.

    You can then provide them to the account you wish to access the ShipStation API.
