How to add a MijoShop store to ShipStation, what features are available, other need-to-know details, and troubleshooting tips.
MijoShop is a shopping cart and ecommerce system that provides unlimited products, product reviews, ratings, comparisons, and advanced features like an RMA, Affiliate, and Rewards Point system. MijoShop is a plugin for Joomla that is compatible with thousands of OpenCart extensions, including ShipStation. MijoShop integrates directly with ShipStation to automatically import your orders so you can start shipping quickly. ShipStation will automatically notify your MijoShop account with each order's shipment details as soon as you create each label.
Connection Requirements:
-
An active account with MijoShop.
-
The ShipStation extension installed in the Joomla! root folder for MijoShop.
-
The ShipStation Key and ShipStation Verification Key from the config module.
-
Your MijoShop URL.
Scope of Support
Installing the extension file to the Joomla! root folder is beyond ShipStation's scope of support. We recommend you contact your store developer or MijoShop Support if you need assistance with the extension installation process, as the process can differ based on the unique Apache server configuration.
Order Import Requirements:
-
Include a Ship To address.
To connect your MijoShop store to ShipStation:
-
Download the ShipStation extension for MijoShop here and extract the contents to your Joomla! root folder.

By default, ShipStation assumes that the MijoShop store's server uses UTC as the timezone. If your MijoShop account uses a different server timezone, you can define it in the store's settings. |
Here are some common issues experienced by users, potential causes, and available troubleshooting tips.

Issue |
How to troubleshoot or resolve |
|---|---|
|
The Order Date in ShipStation is different than the Order Date in MijoShop |
What it means: This usually occurs because the MijoShop 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 MijoShop 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 MijoShop 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 MijoShop store is hosted on. |
