Magento 2 - Configure for Automated Fulfillment

Documentation Team · Updated

DropStream connects your Magento 2 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 Magento 2 into DropStream.
  • Forwards orders to your warehouse management system, with line items mapped by SKU.
  • Posts fulfillment status back to Magento 2 when the warehouse ships, including tracking numbers and carrier information.
  • Pushes inventory updates from the warehouse to Magento 2.

What you’ll need

  • A Magento 2 account you can sign in to.
  • Your Magento 2 Access token and Store URL (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 2, then DropStream — and the recommended order is:

  1. Get your API credentials (in Magento 2) — create, activate, and allow an Integration under System > Integrations, then copy its Access token along with your Store URL.
  2. Enable API access (in DropStream) — add the store through the Add Connection wizard and enter your Magento 2 credentials.
  3. 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 2 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

  • Auth uses a Magento 2 Integration access token (an OAuth-style bearer token), not a username/API key. DropStream takes the single Access token plus the Store URL.
  • On Magento 2.4.4+, set Allow OAuth Access Tokens to be used as standalone Bearer tokens to Yes, or API requests may fail.
  • For multi-store installations, enter a Store View Code to scope the integration to one store.
