Cahoot's integration with ShipStation allows you to handle all of your ShipStation orders through Cahoot, or manage your orders across both systems if you are using both to ship your orders. After following the steps below, Cahoot will start importing your ShipStation orders. 

To connect your ShipStation account, please submit the following 3 required credentials:

  • API Key
  • API Secret
  • Store ID

If you don't have your credentials readily available, the following instructions will help you capture them.

Step-by-Step Guide 

IMPORTANT: Your ShipStation account can only issue a single set of API keys at a time. If you generate new keys at any point, you will need to apply them to all of your connections (apps) that use them or they will no longer function. If you already have API Keys in use, please skip to Step 4 and submit them via the secure Egnyte link provided below.

 

1. Login to your ShipStation account and navigate to Account Settings.

2. Select Account > API Settings from the side bar on the left.

3. Click Generate New API Keys. 

IMPORTANT: DO NOT GENERATE NEW API KEYS if you already have them in your Account. Please just submit your existing API Keys since ShipStation only provides one set of Keys at a time for all of your applications.

4. Copy the API Key and Secret into a Text File or Word Document. 

 

5. Find your Store ID by going to Settings > Selling Channels > Store Setup > Select your Amazon Store > Click Edit. The Store ID can be found at the end of the URL in the address bar while in the store's settings window. Add this Store ID to the Text file along with the API Keys already captured.

7. Lastly, please ensure that your Amazon store is active and configured to update automatically. This can be found on the same Store Setup page from Step 5:

  • Confirm 'Is Active?' = Checked. 
  • Confirm 'Allow this store to auto-update periodically?' = Checked.
