Volusion - Enable API Access

This article is for whoever connects a Volusion store inside DropStream — a fulfillment provider (3PL) or a merchant who manages their own DropStream account. You’ll add the store through DropStream’s Add Connection wizard. If a fulfillment provider is setting up DropStream for you, you don’t need this page — just gather your Volusion API credentials and send them over.

What you’ll need

• A DropStream account you can sign in to.
• Your Volusion Store URL, Username, and Password — see Volusion - Get Your API Credentials.

How DropStream connects to Volusion

Every store connects through the same Add Connection wizard. For the full walkthrough of the wizard’s four steps, see Add a Connection. This article covers only the Store Setup step, where you enter the Volusion-specific details.

Enter your Volusion details

1. In the Add Connection wizard, work through to the Store Setup step. Choose Create new store, give the store a Name, and select Volusion as the Platform. The Volusion credential fields appear below.

2. Enter your credentials:

   Field	What it is	Example
   Store URL	Your Volusion store URL	https://store.example.com
   Username	Your Volusion API username	myuser
   Password	Your Volusion API password	••••••••

   For where to find each value, see Get Your API Credentials.

3. (Optional) Adjust the import settings:

   • Order Status — only orders with this status are imported: Processing (default) or Ready To Ship.
   • Exclude Customer Email — when enabled, customer email is not imported. Disabled by default.

4. Click Add connection.

Notes

• Use a dedicated Volusion API account for the connection.
