BrightStores - Configure for Automated Fulfillment

Documentation Team · Updated

DropStream connects your BrightStores store to a warehouse management system so orders flow automatically from cart to shipment, and stock levels stay in sync without manual intervention.

What this integration does

  • Imports orders from BrightStores into DropStream once they reach the status you choose to monitor (default paid).
  • Forwards orders to your warehouse management system, with line items mapped by SKU.
  • Posts fulfillment status back to BrightStores when the warehouse ships, including tracking numbers and carrier information.
  • Pushes inventory updates from the warehouse to BrightStores.

What you’ll need

  • A BrightStores store you can sign in to.
  • Your BrightStores Subdomain and API Token.
  • A DropStream account. If you don’t have one yet, contact your DropStream administrator or fulfillment provider.

Setup at a glance

The setup involves work on two sides — BrightStores, then DropStream — and the recommended order is:

  1. Get your API credentials (in BrightStores) — note the Subdomain and request an API Token if needed.
  2. Enable API access (in DropStream) — add the store through the Add Connection wizard and enter your BrightStores credentials.
  3. Review scheduling and API usage — tune import and inventory schedules to control per-request API costs.

Who does what

  • If you manage your own DropStream account, you’ll do every step yourself — switching between BrightStores and DropStream as the article order suggests.
  • If a third-party fulfillment provider is configuring DropStream for you, you only need Get your API credentials. Send the resulting credentials to your provider; they handle the rest.

Notes and limitations

  • BrightStores / Bright Sites accounts incur costs per API request — review the scheduling article to keep request volume in check.
