Mapping your store's shipping methods to a specific carrier service is optional. Consult your fulfillment provider to fine-tune the integration for your store's specific requirements.
App Logs
The Logs tab lists the order fulfillment events synced to your fulfillment location via the ShipStation app, which can help trace order-level issues when needed.
Update Shipping Addresses
If an order is already Processing and has been accepted for fulfillment by ShipStation, it can still be edited in many cases. To update a customer's shipping address for an order that's already been submitted to ShipStation, follow these steps from the Order Details View:
- Request cancellation of the fulfillment
- If the request is accepted, update the shipping address
- Request Fulfillment again
The fulfillment will be posted again to ShipStation with the updated shipping address.
