Good to Know

Platform restrictions outside any integration tool's control

Nventory does not generate shipping labels

Batch label creation and printing are handled in ShipStation's interface. Nventory syncs order and product data and pushes tracking back to Shopify.

Branded tracking pages are managed in ShipStation

ShipStation's branded tracking page design, logo, and color settings are configured in the ShipStation dashboard. Nventory does not manage tracking page branding.

ShipStation automation rules are not synced

ShipStation's automation rules (auto-assign carrier, auto-tag orders) are configured within ShipStation. Nventory provides the order data that triggers these rules.

Things to Consider

Platform-specific details and how they affect this integration.

Challenge

Shopify stores shipping hundreds of orders daily benefit from ShipStation's batch label creation. Without centralized order data, batch processing is limited to single-channel orders.

Nventory's Approach

Nventory imports orders from Shopify and other channels into a single dashboard. This multi-channel order pool feeds into ShipStation for batch label creation across all sales channels, not just Shopify.
