DropStream connects your Volusion store 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 Volusion into DropStream.
- Forwards orders to your warehouse management system, with line items mapped by SKU.
- Posts fulfillment status back to Volusion when the warehouse ships, including tracking numbers and carrier information.
- Pushes inventory updates from the warehouse to Volusion.
What you’ll need
- A Volusion store you can sign in to.
- Your Volusion Store URL, Username, and Password.
- 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 — Volusion, then DropStream — and the recommended order is:
- Configure product SKUs (in Volusion) — make sure SKUs in Volusion match the SKUs in your warehouse management system.
- Gather shipping methods (in Volusion) — map each Volusion shipping method to the fulfillment center’s shipping codes.
- Get your API credentials (in Volusion) — note the store URL and API username and password.
- Enable API access (in DropStream) — add the store through the Add Connection wizard and enter your Volusion credentials.
Who does what
- If you manage your own DropStream account, you’ll do every step yourself — switching between Volusion and DropStream as the article order suggests.
- If a third-party fulfillment provider is configuring DropStream for you, you handle the Volusion-side steps (configure SKUs, gather shipping methods, get credentials). Send the resulting credentials to your provider; they handle the DropStream side.
Notes and limitations
- SKUs in Volusion must match the SKUs in your warehouse management system for line items to map correctly.
- Inventory tracking is enabled by default in your Volusion integration.
- Use the optional Order Status import setting to control which orders DropStream pulls in.
