Generate ShipStation API Credentials¶
To connect Odoo to your ShipStation account you need two values: an API Key and an API Secret. Both are obtained from ShipStation by generating a key pair on the API Settings page of your ShipStation account.
Get Your Credentials From ShipStation¶
Follow ShipStation’s official guide — it walks you through verifying your e-mail, selecting the API version, choosing the expiration, and copying the API Key and API Secret:
ShipStation API (ShipStation Help Center)
Important
When ShipStation asks you to pick the API version, choose V1. The TeqStars ShipStation Connector uses ShipStation V1 — V2 credentials will not authenticate against the connector.
Warning
The API Secret is shown only once. Copy and store it in a password manager before you navigate away from the API Settings page — otherwise you will need to generate a new key pair from scratch.
Open Your Account Settings and Paste the Values¶
Once you have the API Key and API Secret, paste them into a ShipStation account record in Odoo:
Go to .
Open the existing account record or click New to create a fresh one.
Paste the value copied from ShipStation into the API Key field.
Paste the value copied from ShipStation into the API Secret field.
Click Save.
Confirm the Connection¶
Stay on the account form opened above.
Click Confirm in the header.
Odoo verifies the credentials against your ShipStation account; on success, the State badge in the header turns to Confirmed and the connector imports stores, carriers, services, packages, warehouses, and products in sequence.
