Solid Commerce - Enable API Access

This article is for whoever connects a Solid 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 Solid Commerce API credentials and send them over.

What you’ll need

• A DropStream account you can sign in to.
• Your Solid Commerce Application Key and Warehouse Name — see Solid Commerce - Get Your API Credentials.

How DropStream connects to Solid 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 Solid Commerce-specific details.

Enter your Solid Commerce 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 Solid Commerce as the Platform. The Solid Commerce credential fields appear below.

2. Enter your credentials:

   Field	What it is	Example
   Application Key	Your Solid Commerce application key	xxxxxxxx
   Warehouse Name	The Solid Commerce warehouse name	Main

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

3. Click Add connection.

Notes

• Confirm your Solid Commerce SKUs match the SKUs loaded into your warehouse management system before enabling — see Configure SKUs.

Once the connection is added, confirm orders are flowing with Order Import Status.
