ShipStation

Philip,

A further fix that I corrected that you may want to also correct: Currently your code only sends over the last name of the customer as part of the customer data. For shipping purposes this may or may not matter, but the fix is really easy, to include first name and last name. Currently the code uses:

<BillTo>
				<Name><![CDATA[' . $address->address_lastname . ']]></Name>
			</BillTo>
			<ShipTo>
				<Name><![CDATA[' . $address->address_lastname . ']]></Name>

<BillTo>
				<Name><![CDATA[' . $address->address_firstname . ' ' .  $address->address_lastname . ']]></Name>
			</BillTo>
			<ShipTo>
				<Name><![CDATA[' . $address->address_firstname . ' ' .  $address->address_lastname . ']]></Name>

Wow. There are a number of reasons they may not have orders in shipstation, a lot of which would be configuration/setup based.

One thing that threw me at first after doing my import was that my client had all of their orders already shipped. So when I looked up the orders in the system, the first screen they show you (naturally) is the screen for pending orders. Which we had none I had to click around a bit to see all of the orders, including the orders that had already shipped, and were marked as completed.

We did have successful import of orders though. We imported about 150 orders across two different stores into the same shipstation account.

We are getting this message when in debug mode:

Unexpected username and password

That error is on the shipstation setting page at: www.aarc-chems.com/index.php?option=com_...hop&ctrl=shipstation

I've triple checked the login information details and they are input correctly.

EDIT: So the username does NOT work if you have an @ in it. Our shipstation username is our email address so when putting it in the plugin, I guess that caused a glitch. Changing the plugin user to just one word fixed that. I would rewrite the documentation to reflect that. I was under the impression that the username in the plugin HAD to be our actual shipstation username. Apparently it doesn't.

Does Hikashop had a Chinadivision.com plugin page, I want their Web API to make my applications fetch data and manage orders.

Checking in on the current status of the ShipStation plugin. Has it passed all QA tests and is it stable now for production? We are building a custom order production management system that will extend HikaShop, and we'd love to be able to leverage ShipStation with it (if it's ready).

Since the last update we have had no issues with this plugin as well.

Hello,

Not sure if the plugin supports it but I'm wondering if the ShipStation plugin is supposed to send the product weight and dimensions over to Ship Station from Hikashop. I ask because I don't see this data showing up in ShipStation so I was wondering if it is not supported or if there is something wrong with my configuration? I see that ShipStation retrieves the Shipping Method but then it appears that dimensions and weight still need to be entered into Ship Station manually on the orders awaiting shipping. I'm using Hikashop Business version 3.0.0. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Does the shipstation plugin work still for Joomla Hikashop stores? I know I saw in this forum somewhere that the username can't have @. The shipstation only allows us to use our email address as username/login. Do we use a different address for the XML url?

Below is current error I receive:
We received an error testing the Custom store: Invalid XML. Error: 'Root element is missing.' We received:

Thanks so much for response. So is it okay to have email address as username? I read in previous post that the @ symbol may cause issues?? thnx

okay thanks a bunch for that info, what is the url we should use for the "URL to custom XML page" field? I tried domain.com/index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=shipstation but get Invalid XML message when i try to test connection.
