ShipStation connector for Jitterbit Integration Studio

Summary

The ShipStation connector establishes access to ShipStation.

The ShipStation connector provides an interface for creating a ShipStation connection, the foundation used for generating instances of ShipStation activities. These activities, once configured, interact with ShipStation through the connection.

The ShipStation connector is accessed from the design component palette's Project endpoints and connectors tab (see Design component palette).

Connector overview

This connector is used to first configure a ShipStation connection. Activity types associated with that connection are then used to create instances of activities that are intended to be used as sources (to provide data in an operation) or targets (to consume data in an operation).

Together, a specific ShipStation connection and its activities are referred to as a ShipStation endpoint:

ShipStation activity types

  • Query: Retrieves object data from ShipStation and is intended to be used as a source in an operation.

  • Create: Creates object data in ShipStation and is intended to be used as a target in an operation.

  • Update: Updates object data in ShipStation and is intended to be used as a target in an operation.

  • Delete: Deletes object data from ShipStation and is intended to be used as a target in an operation.

Note

This connector is a Connector SDK-based connector, which may be referred to by Jitterbit when communicating changes made to connectors built with the Connector SDK.

Prerequisites and supported API versions

The ShipStation connector requires the use of an agent version 10.1 or later. These agent versions automatically download the latest version of the connector when required.

The ShipStation connector uses the ShipStation API. Refer to the API documentation for information on the schema nodes and fields.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with the ShipStation connector, these troubleshooting steps are recommended:

  1. Click the Test button in the connection configuration to ensure the connection is successful and to ensure the latest version of the connector is downloaded to the agent (unless using the Disable Auto Connector Update organization policy).

  2. Check the operation logs for any information written during execution of the operation.

  3. Enable operation debug logging (for cloud agents or for private agents) to generate additional log files and data.

  4. If using private agents, you can enable connector verbose logging for this connector using this specific configuration entry of logger name and level:

    <logger name="org.jitterbit.connector.shipstation" level="DEBUG"/>

  5. If using private agents, you can check the agent logs for more information.
