Spree Commerce - Enable API Access

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

What you’ll need

• A DropStream account you can sign in to.
• Your Spree Commerce Store URL and API Token — see Spree Commerce - Get Your API Credentials.

How DropStream connects to Spree 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 Spree Commerce-specific details.

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

2. Enter your credentials:

   Field	What it is	Example
   Store URL	Your Spree Commerce store URL	https://store.example.com
   API Token	Your Spree Commerce API token	xxxxxxxx

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

3. (Optional) To enable inventory tracking, select a Stock Location from the drop-down menu.

4. Click Add connection.

Notes

• Generate the API token for an admin user with permission to read orders and update shipments.
