Instructions for how to connect a selling channel to ShipStation so you can begin to import online store orders.
To import your orders from your selling channels, you first need to connect them to ShipStation. There is no limit to the number of stores you can connect to ShipStation. Once connected, you can begin importing orders from your stores into ShipStation.
The specific steps to connect your store will vary from selling channel to selling channel. The instructions below provide the basic steps for connecting a store in the ShipStation Selling Channel Settings. For details on a specific store connection process, go to Integrations Help and click on your selling channel name.
To learn how to edit the settings of your connected stores, review the Edit Store Settings help article. To learn how to deactivate a store so it no longer imports orders into ShipStation, review the Disconnect a Store help article.
This video shows how to connect your selling channels (marketplaces, shopping carts, and others) to ShipStation.

The automatic store refresh feature currently uses an algorithm to determine the frequency of store updates. At this time, the auto-refresh feature cannot be set to run on a schedule or at specified intervals. For this reason, ShipStation recommends that you manually update your stores to ensure you are working with your most recent orders at all times.

The exact steps to connect different stores will vary since different selling channels require different information. For detailed steps on a specific selling channel, go to our Integrations Help article and select the selling channel you'd like to add.
