How to connect a Marketplace & import your orders
Learn how to connect your Marketplaces in this step-by-step article
Connect your Marketplace or import your orders by adding a file or inserting them manually following this step-by-step article.
Summary:
1. Before you start
Import your orders so you can start shipping straight away. Connect your Marketplace or import your orders by uploading a file or by inserting them manually. Make sure to provide all your ecommerce information for the connection process as each Marketplace requires its own details.
2. Connection steps
To connect a Marketplace to ShippyPro, follow these steps:
- Go to the Marketplace section of the platform and review the list of all available store integrations.
- Select your Marketplace and enter the required credentials or API details in the connection popup. Some Marketplaces will ask you to log in to your store account directly.
- Confirm the connection: the status box turns green when successful. If it is red, re-enter your login credentials and reconnect.
- Once connected, click the Edit button to update any details you provided during setup — for example, your connection label.
If it's red instead, you should check your login credentials again. Once you have connected the Marketplace to your ShippyPro account, click on the Edit button to update the information you have already provided (your connection label for example).
You can disable or delete your Marketplace by clicking on the relevant yellow and red buttons directly from the connection page. Remember that you don’t have to cancel the connections to create new ones for another or the same store with different credentials.
If you need to delete a deprecated marketplace connection and you don't see the connector on the dedicated page, please contact our Support team.
3. Other ways to import your orders
Insert your order manually
In order to successfully create a shipment manually make sure you have all the required information. Click on the create shipment button and click on New Manual Shipment to add all the necessary details. This will allow you to manually add all the orders that are not processed through a specific channel or an Excel file.
Upload an Excel file
If your order list is a .csv, .xls, or .xlsx file, you can import it directly into the platform. Download the Sample file first to verify that your file includes all required columns (such as recipient address, weight, and dimensions) before importing.
API Folder & Put Order
If the Marketplace you are trying to connect to is not available among our direct integrations, you can still import your orders by creating an API Folder and using our PutOrder Call.
4. Set Marketplace rules
With ShippyPro you can choose to enable orders coming only from specific countries and exclude others.
-
- Click the Set marketplace rules button for the relevant store and select the geographic areas — such as Europe, USA, Canada, or Worldwide — you want to activate.
- To exclude a country, click the x next to its name. Orders from excluded countries will not be imported into ShippyPro.
- Save the rule, then click Marketplaces > Add new rule to add additional rules for the same store.
-
If you wish to exclude certain countries click on the x next to their name to cancel them. Orders coming from those countries will not be imported into the ShippyPro platform.
