Integration Notes

Here are some things you should keep in mind about ShipStation's integration with Best Buy CA:

  • ShipStation will not receive status updates for Best Buy CA orders. If a Best Buy CA order is cancelled or shipped outside of ShipStation, the ShipStation order record will need to be updated manually.

  • If a Best Buy CA order is partially rejected, ShipStation will:

    1. List the SKUs which were rejected in Custom Field 1.

    2. Apply a Rejected tag to the order.

      Note

      The tag will be applied by an automation rule titled "BBCA REFUSED" which will be created the first time a Best Buy CA store is connected to ShipStation. If the rule or tag is deleted or modified, this action may no longer function as intended.
