SPS Commerce - Enable API Access

This article is for whoever connects an SPS Commerce account 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 SPS Commerce API credentials and send them over.

What you’ll need

• A DropStream account you can sign in to.
• Your SPS Commerce Username, Password, and Trading Partner ID — see SPS Commerce - Get Your API Credentials.

How DropStream connects to SPS Commerce

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 SPS Commerce-specific details.
