SPS Commerce - Configure for Automated Fulfillment

Documentation Team · Updated

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

What you’ll need

  • An SPS Commerce account you can sign in to.
  • Your SPS Commerce Username, Password, and Trading Partner ID.
  • 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 — SPS Commerce, then DropStream — and the recommended order is:

  1. Get your API credentials (in SPS Commerce) — note your Username, Password, and Trading Partner ID.
  2. Enable API access (in DropStream) — add the store through the Add Connection wizard and enter your SPS Commerce credentials.

Who does what

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

  • SPS Commerce connects over EDI. Confirm your trading partner relationship is active before adding the connection.
