A reference list defining the store settings that you can adjust in ShipStation.

Once you have connected a store or created a manual store, you can define certain store-level behaviors within each store's Settings page.

Store settings include (but are not limited to):

Whether the store is active or inactive (inactive stores do not appear in your list of connected stores and do not import orders).
If ShipStation will automatically import orders from the store.
What branding will apply to packing slips and emails.
When your store will be notified of a shipment from ShipStation (the default is upon label creation).
Whether your customer receives an email and what template will be used.
What packing slip template will automatically apply to the store's orders.
Whether the Branded Tracking Page and Branded Returns Portal are active for the store.

Access Store Settings

Go to Account Settings.
Select Selling Channels from the left-hand sidebar, then choose Store Setup.
Click the ellipsis next to the store you want to update, then click Edit Store Details.

You'll then see all the available settings for your store.

Store Setup Options

Review the following list for details about each section tab and its available options.

Section	Options
General (Store Settings)	Set store name - This is the name that will appear in ShipStation for the connected store. Set store as active or inactive. Set store to auto-update. This setting allows ShipStation to periodically import orders. The frequency of import is based on previous import frequency and order volume, and so can vary over time. To ensure you are always working with the most up-to-date information, we also recommend you use the manual import option as needed. Standardize domestic and international addresses This feature relies on address databases not administered by ShipStation. ShipStationwill still validate addresses even when this option is unchecked.
Checkout	Checkout Rates let you control what shipping options your customers see at checkout. To calculate rates, Checkout Rates will use the product weights provided by the store and all shipments will be assumed to be shipping out of your default warehouse. See Send Rates to Store Checkout help article to learn more. This feature is currently available only for Big Commerce, Magento, Shopify, and Wix. We are working to add more partners soon!
Branding	Enter your company details, like Company Name, Phone, Logo, website URL, and more. These details appear on packing slips, shipment notification emails, and ShipStation's branded tracking and returns pages.
Tracking	Determine whether the Tracking Number linked in shipment confirmation emails directs your customers to the carrier's tracking page or to your Branded Tracking Page.
Returns	Enable your Branded Returns Portal for user-initiated return labels, set your return policy message, and enter your return email message.
Emails	Determine when ShipStation sends marketplace notifications, set ShipStation to send shipping and delivery confirmation emails, and enter your email address to BCC for confirmation emails.
Packing Slips	Choose which packing slip template should be used by the store and enter a custom packing slip footer message.
Products	Determine if ShipStation creates product records when orders import from your store and how those products get identified (by SKU or Name). Determine whether ShipStation creates line items in orders for coupons, discounts, and other adjustments.
Shipping	Create, edit, and delete Service Mapping for the store's orders.
Activity	View certain activity on the store, including when the store began order imports.
