# ShipStation Integration

The ShipStation integration connects your ShipStation store to fabric Dropship so you can exchange orders and shipment data automatically.

## Configuring the ShipStation Integration in Dropship

To ensure data flows correctly between your ShipStation store and fabric Dropship, you must configure how order and shipment information is exchanged. You can also set up order tags to set on orders pushed to your ShipStation account.

The steps involved are:

* [Syncing order data between ShipStation and Dropship](#syncing-order-data-between-shipstation-and-dropship)

## Monitoring ShipStation Webhook Activity

Use webhook records to monitor and troubleshoot how data moves between your ShipStation store and fabric Dropship.

Each webhook represents an event—such as an order being placed, inventory being updated, or a shipment being fulfilled. Reviewing these logs helps confirm successful communication and identify integration issues when they occur.

### Understanding webhook details

The webhook history log includes the following details which are also available when [viewing details for a specific webhook](/v3/dropship/dropship-suppliers/integrations/shipstation-integration#viewing-details-for-a-specific-webhook):

| **Field**        | **Description**                                               | **Example Data**                                              |

| **Topic**        | Type of event and action performed                            | `products/update`, `fulfillments/create`, `orders/cancelled`. |

| **Has Message?** | Indicator of whether a message was returned with the webhook. | `checkmark` if message is included, `blank` if no message     |
| **Status**       | The outcome of the webhook event.                             | `Success`, `Skipped`, `Failed`                                |

## Using ShipStation Utilities

Use integration utilities to address order and fulfillment syncing issues
