spree_shipstation

The spree_shipstation extension connects your Spree store with ShipStation, allowing ShipStation to pull shipments from your store, and when a shipment is sent, update the order with a tracking number and mark it as shipped.

gem "spree_shipstation", github: "matthewkennedy/spree_shipstation"

Configuration

Configuring Spree

Configure your spree_shipstation Spree extension using the spree_shipstation.rb file.

# config/initializers/spree_shipstation.rb

SpreeShipstation.configure do |config|
  # Choose between Grams, Ounces or Pounds.
  config.weight_units = "Grams"

  # ShipStation expects the endpoint to be protected by HTTP Basic Auth.
  # Set the username and password you desire for ShipStation to use.
  config.username = "create-a-username"
  config.password = "set-a-new-password"

  # Capture payment when ShipStation notifies a shipping label creation.
  # Set this to `true` and `config.auto_capture_on_dispatch = true` if you
  # want to charge your customers at the time of shipment.
  config.capture_at_notification = false

  # Export canceled shipments to ShipStation
  # Set this to `true` if you want canceled shipments included in the endpoint.
  config.export_canceled_shipments = false
end

If you set config.capture_at_notification = true, add the following config to spree.rb.

# config/initializers/spree.rb

Spree.config do |config|
  config.auto_capture_on_dispatch = true # (Spree default is false)
end

Configuring ShipStation

Create a new ShipStation store by visiting: Settings -> Selling Channels -> Stores -> Add Store, then selecting the Custom Store option.

Enter the following details:

Username: the username defined in your config.
Password: the password defined in your config.
URL to custom page: https://yourdomain.com/shipstation.xml.

There are five shipment states for an order (= shipment) in ShipStation. These states do not necessarily align with Spree, but you can configure ShipStation to create a mapping for your specific needs. Here's the default mapping:

ShipStation description	ShipStation status	Spree status
Awaiting Payment	`unpaid`	`pending`
Awaiting Shipment	`paid`	`ready`
Shipped	`shipped`	`shipped`
Cancelled	`cancelled`	`cancelled`
On-Hold	`on-hold`	`pending`

Usage

There's nothing you need to do. Once properly configured, the integration just works!

Compatibility

This extension works with the following Spree versions:

3.7.x
4.1.x
4.2.x

Gotchas

There are a few gotchas you need to be aware of:

If you change the shipping method of an order in ShipStation, the change will not be reflected in Spree and the tracking link might not work properly.
When shipstation_capture_at_notification is enabled, any errors during payment capture will prevent the update of the shipment's tracking number.
