Solid Commerce - Configure for Automated Fulfillment

Karl Falconer · Updated

DropStream connects your Solid Commerce account to a warehouse management system so orders flow automatically from sale to shipment, and stock levels stay in sync without manual intervention.

What this integration does

  • Imports orders from Solid Commerce into DropStream.
  • Forwards orders to your warehouse management system, with line items mapped by SKU.
  • Posts fulfillment status back to Solid Commerce when the warehouse ships, including tracking numbers and carrier information.
  • Pushes inventory updates from the warehouse to Solid Commerce.

What you’ll need

  • A Solid Commerce account you can sign in to.
  • Your Solid Commerce Application Key and Warehouse Name.
  • 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 — Solid Commerce, then DropStream — and the recommended order is:

  1. Configure SKUs (in Solid Commerce) — confirm your Solid Commerce SKUs match the SKUs loaded into your warehouse management system.
  2. Get your API credentials (in Solid Commerce) — note your Application Key and Warehouse Name.
  3. Enable API access (in DropStream) — add the store through the Add Connection wizard and enter your Solid Commerce credentials.
  4. Order import status — confirm orders are flowing end-to-end once the integration is enabled.

Who does what

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

Notes and limitations

  • SKUs defined in Solid Commerce must match the SKUs loaded into your warehouse management system, or fulfillment line items won’t map.
  • Inventory tracking is automatically enabled for the Solid Commerce integration.
