Orderwave - Configure for Automated Fulfillment

Documentation Team · Updated

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

What you’ll need

  • An Orderwave account you can sign in to.
  • Your Orderwave FTP Username, FTP Password, and Account Code.
  • 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 — Orderwave, then DropStream — and the recommended order is:

  1. Get your API credentials (in Orderwave) — request the FTP Username, FTP Password, and Account Code from your Orderwave account representative.
  2. Enable API access (in DropStream) — add the store through the Add Connection wizard and enter your Orderwave credentials.

Who does what

  • If you manage your own DropStream account, you’ll do every step yourself — switching between Orderwave 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

  • Orderwave connects over FTP. Request the FTP Username, FTP Password, and Account Code from your Orderwave account representative.
