Key integration features

What native ShipStation integration delivers.

01

Universal platform bridge

ShipStation supports 100+ ecommerce platforms — many obscure or niche tools that don't have direct ShipHero integration. ShipStation pulls orders from your platform; ShipHero picks them up from ShipStation.

02

Reliable order flow

ShipStation handles the polling and order normalization. Orders arrive in our WMS in a consistent format regardless of source platform.

03

Multi-channel from ShipStation

If your operation is already on ShipStation with multiple connected channels, all of those flow to our WMS via ShipStation.

04

Carrier rate flexibility

ShipStation supports many carrier integrations. Carriers your platform doesn't natively support can route through ShipStation.

05

Existing ShipStation users

Brands already running ShipStation transition smoothly. Your existing ShipStation setup connects to our ShipHero WMS without reconfiguration of the source platforms.

06

Fallback for custom platforms

If you have a custom-built ecommerce platform, ShipStation can often act as the integration layer rather than building direct API integration.

What to know

ShipStation-specific operational considerations.

The operational realities specific to this platform that affect how fulfillment works.

Adds a layer between platform and WMS

ShipStation is an intermediate step. Order data passes platform → ShipStation → WMS. Generally fine; occasional latency or sync issues happen at the bridge.

Best when direct integration not available

If your platform has direct ShipHero integration (Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Amazon, etc.), use it directly. ShipStation is for the platforms that don't.

ShipStation pricing separate from us

ShipStation has its own subscription pricing. Brands using ShipStation pay ShipStation directly; we don't markup or include that cost.

Order normalization quality

ShipStation normalizes order data from many platforms. Custom fields, gift messages, or non-standard order types may not pass through cleanly depending on source platform.

Carrier integration via ShipStation

Some brands use ShipStation specifically for its carrier integrations. We can use ShipStation-generated labels or rate-shop directly via ShipHero — your choice.

Migration path to direct integration

If your platform later releases a direct ShipHero integration, you can drop ShipStation from the workflow without changing fulfillment provider.

Don't see your platform?

If your platform has an API, we can almost certainly integrate. ShipHero WMS supports REST API, webhooks, FTP, and custom EDI mappings. Custom integrations are quoted separately.

FAQ
When should I use ShipStation instead of direct integration?
When your ecommerce platform doesn't have a direct ShipHero integration. Many obscure or niche platforms are supported by ShipStation but not by ShipHero directly.
Do I pay extra for ShipStation?
ShipStation has its own subscription pricing that you pay ShipStation directly. We don't markup or include that cost. Our standard fulfillment pricing applies on top.
Is ShipStation reliable?
Generally yes. Occasional sync latency or edge cases happen at the bridge between platform and ShipStation. Direct integration is preferred when available.
Can I use ShipStation for some platforms and direct integration for others?
Yes. Common pattern: Shopify direct, niche platform via ShipStation, all flowing to our WMS in one operation.
Will I lose any functionality going through ShipStation?
Standard order data flows fine. Custom fields, gift messages, and non-standard order types may not pass through cleanly depending on the source platform.
Can I migrate from ShipStation to direct ShipHero integration later?
Yes. If your platform releases direct ShipHero integration later, you can drop ShipStation from the workflow without changing fulfillment provider.
