Provides information on the WP EasyCart integration to ShipStation and links for relevant resources.
WP EasyCart is a WordPress eCommerce and WordPress Shopping Cart plugin that lets you sell retail, downloads, subscriptions, and more on their website. WP EasyCart Premium users can install the ShipStation plugin to connect and send orders to ShipStation.
To use WP EasyCart with ShipStation, you'll need to download and install the ShipStation plugin, then generate a set of API keys and enter them in plugin settings within WP EasyCart.
For more information on connecting and using ShipStation with WP EasyCart, see the ShipStation page on the WP EasyCart help center.
In order for WP EasyCart to send orders to ShipStation, they must meet the following criteria:
Be in an Approved status (e.g., Card Approved, Third-Party Approved, Order Shipped, etc).
Contain a shippable product. Virtual products, like digital gift cards, will not be included when WP EasyCart sends orders to ShipStation.
WP EasyCart orders import into the most recent manual store you have created in ShipStation. After the initial import, WP EasyCart will continue to use the same manual store to import orders, even if you add more manual stores to ShipStation later. If you have no active manual stores in ShipStation, WP EasyCart will not be able to send orders to ShipStation.
WP EasyCart sends the following information about your orders to ShipStation:
Order Number
Order and Ship By date
Order Status
Customer Email address
Bill To information (name, address, phone)
Ship To information (name, address, phone)
Item information (SKU, name, weight, quantity, unit price, productID)
Amount Paid
Tax Amount
Shipping Amount
WP EasyCart uses webhooks to get shipment information (tracking number and shipping method) after you create shipping labels in ShipStation, which WP EasyCart then stores and uses to update the order status within WP EasyCart.
