To complete the integration between your ShipStation account and our platform through DropStream, we’ll need a few key details and your confirmation on certain settings. Below is a step-by-step breakdown of the required items and default configurations. Let us know if you’d like to proceed with the default options or request changes.

These credentials allow us to securely connect your account and begin syncing orders.
