DropStream connects your Sears Marketplace 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 Sears into DropStream.
- Forwards orders to your warehouse management system, with line items mapped by SKU.
- Posts fulfillment status back to Sears when the warehouse ships, including tracking numbers and carrier information.
- Pushes inventory updates from the warehouse to Sears.
What you’ll need
- A Sears Marketplace account you can sign in to.
- Your Sears Email, Seller ID, Authorization Key, and Warehouse Location ID.
- 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 — Sears, then DropStream — and the recommended order is:
- Configure SKUs (in Sears) — make sure the SKUs in Sears match the SKUs in your warehouse management system.
- Gather shipping methods (in Sears) — note the shipping descriptions so they can be mapped to warehouse shipping codes.
- Get your API credentials (in Sears) — note your Email, Seller ID, Authorization Key, and Warehouse Location ID.
- Enable API access (in DropStream) — add the store through the Add Connection wizard and enter your Sears credentials.
Who does what
- If you manage your own DropStream account, you’ll do every step yourself — switching between Sears and DropStream as the article order suggests.
- If a third-party fulfillment provider is configuring DropStream for you, you only need Get your API credentials. Send the resulting credentials to your provider; they handle the rest.
Notes and limitations
- Sears integrates over EDI, so all four credential values must come from your Sears Marketplace account.
- Inventory tracking is enabled automatically once the integration is connected.
