Spree Commerce - Configure for Automated Fulfillment

Karl Falconer · Updated

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

What you’ll need

  • A Spree Commerce store you can sign in to.
  • Your Spree Commerce Store URL and API Token.
  • 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 — Spree Commerce, then DropStream — and the recommended order is:

  1. Configure product SKUs (in Spree Commerce) — make sure SKUs in Spree Commerce match the SKUs in your warehouse management system.
  2. Gather shipping methods (in Spree Commerce) — map each Spree Commerce shipping method to the fulfillment center’s shipping codes.
  3. Get your API credentials (in Spree Commerce) — note the store URL and generate an API token.
  4. Enable API access (in DropStream) — add the store through the Add Connection wizard and enter your Spree Commerce credentials.

Who does what

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

Notes and limitations

  • SKUs in Spree Commerce must match the SKUs in your warehouse management system for line items to map correctly.
  • Select a Stock Location during setup to enable inventory tracking.
