DropStream connects your Magento account to a warehouse management system so orders flow automatically from sale to shipment, and stock levels stay in sync without manual intervention.
Note: This is a legacy document for Magento 1.x. For Magento 2, use the Magento 2 integration.
What this integration does
- Imports orders from Magento into DropStream.
- Forwards orders to your warehouse management system, with line items mapped by SKU.
- Posts fulfillment status back to Magento when the warehouse ships, including tracking numbers and carrier information.
- Pushes inventory updates from the warehouse to Magento.
What you’ll need
- A Magento account you can sign in to.
- Your Magento Store URL, Web Service Username, and API Key (plus an optional Store View Code for multi-store installations).
- 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 — Magento, then DropStream — and the recommended order is:
- Get your API credentials (in Magento) — create a SOAP Web Services API user and note your Store URL, Web Service Username, and API Key.
- Enable API access (in DropStream) — add the store through the Add Connection wizard and enter your Magento credentials.
- Review order status — confirm orders are flowing end-to-end once the integration is enabled.
Who does what
- If you manage your own DropStream account, you’ll do every step yourself — switching between Magento 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
- Create a SOAP API user with the Administrator (All resources) role, or at minimum the resource permissions listed in Minimum User Permissions.
- For multi-store installations, enter a Store View Code to import orders from a single store only.
- Supported: Magento Community 1.6.x–1.9.x and Magento Enterprise.
