Things to note 📝

• ShipStation does not allow partial quantities (i.e. 2.5 units) in order line items, so make sure that you use whole numbers when creating orders in TradeGecko that you want to ship via ShipStation.
• Any discrepancies in Shipping cost between TradeGecko and ShipStation will be ignored, thus shipping costs should be fulfilled using the shipping costs in TradeGecko. Any discrepancies between the numbers will need to be manually handled by customers in their accounting software.
• ShipStation requires a valid country code for shipping and billing addresses. The integration will attempt to map country names to country codes, but if a valid mapping is not found, we will default the country to your TradeGecko account's default country.
