DropStream connects your OpenCart 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 OpenCart into DropStream.
- Forwards orders to your warehouse management system, with line items mapped by SKU.
- Posts fulfillment status back to OpenCart when the warehouse ships, including tracking numbers and carrier information.
- Pushes inventory updates from the warehouse to OpenCart.
What you’ll need
- An OpenCart account you can sign in to.
- Your OpenCart Store URL and API Key.
- 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 — OpenCart, then DropStream — and the recommended order is:
- Install the DropStream module and get your API credentials (in OpenCart) — install the DropStream extension and vQmod, enable the DropStream API product feed, and set a Secret Key.
- Enable API access (in DropStream) — add the store through the Add Connection wizard and enter your OpenCart credentials.
Who does what
- If you manage your own DropStream account, you’ll do every step yourself — switching between OpenCart and DropStream as the article order suggests.
- If a third-party fulfillment provider is configuring DropStream for you, you only need Install the DropStream module and get your API credentials. Send the resulting credentials to your provider; they handle the rest.
Notes and limitations
- OpenCart requires the DropStream module: install the DropStream extension and vQmod, enable the DropStream API product feed (Extensions > Product Feeds), and set a Secret Key — that Secret Key is the API Key you enter in DropStream.
