Installation

1. In the CS-Cart admin open Add-ons > Manage add-ons, click the gear button and Manual installation, and upload the add-on package (.zip).
2. Install ShipStation Connector. Installing records the order date of every existing order, so ShipStation can import older orders too.
3. Enter your licence key under Settings > Licence of the add-on.
4. Open Orders > ShipStation > Connection and follow Configuration.

Requirements

• CS-Cart or Multi-Vendor 4.17.2 to 4.21.x.
• The storefront must answer over HTTPS from the internet (ShipStation calls your store). A maintenance page, a password-protected staging site or a firewall that blocks ShipStation’s servers stops the import.
• The web server must pass the Authorization header to PHP (see Troubleshooting if ShipStation reports a login error although the password is right).
• A cron job is recommended for the retry queue (see Configuration).

Upgrades

Upload the new package over the old one (Manual installation). The add-on brings its database and settings up to date by itself on the next admin page view; your credentials, status map and shipment history are kept.

Uninstall

Uninstalling removes the add-on’s tables (credentials, status map, log, shipment notices, change times). CS-Cart shipments that were created from ShipStation stay with their orders, but are shown without the carrier name and tracking link once the add-on is gone.
