Spree/ShipStation Integration

Integrates ShipStation with Spree. It enables ShipStation to pull shipments from the system and update tracking numbers.

For documentation on the API, see doc/ShipStationCustomStoreDevGuide.pdf

Configuring Spree

Add spree_shipstation to your Gemfile:

gem "spree_shipstation"

Alternatively you can use the git repo directly:

gem "spree_shipstation", git: "git://github.com/DynamoMTL/spree_shipstation.git"

Then, run bundler

$ bundle

Configure the ShipStation API username and password. This can be done in the app's spree initializer

# config/initializers/spree.rb
Spree.config do |config|
  if Rails.env.production?
    config.shipstation_username = "brett"
    config.shipstation_password = "hull"
  else
    config.shipstation_username = "jody"
    config.shipstation_password = "hull"
  end

  config.shipstation_weight_units = "Grams" # Grams, Ounces or Pounds

  # if you prefer to send notifications via shipstation
  config.send_shipped_email = false
end

For deployment on Heroku, you can configure the API username/password with environment variables:

# config/initializers/spree.rb
Spree.config do |config|
  config.shipstation_username = ENV['SHIPSTATION_USERNAME']
  config.shipstation_password = ENV['SHIPSTATION_PASSWORD']


  config.shipstation_weight_units = "Grams" # Grams, Ounces or Pounds
  config.send_shipped_email = false
end

And you can configure them with:

$ heroku config:set SHIPSTATION_USERNAME=brett SHIPSTATION_PASSWORD=hull

Configuring ShipStation

To do this, go to Settings and select Stores. Then click Add Store, scroll down and choose the Custom Store option.

• For Username, enter the username defined in your config
• For Password, enter the password defined in your config
• For URL to custom page, enter the url: https://domain.tld/shipstation.xml
• For Unpaid Status enter pending
• For Paid Status enter ready
• For Shipped Status enter shipped
• For Cancelled Status enter cancelled

Testing

Be sure to bundle your dependencies and then create a dummy test app for the specs to run against.

$ bundle
$ bundle exec rake test_app

To run tests:

$ bundle exec rspec spec

To run tests with guard (preferred):

$ bundle exec guard

Caveats

• If you change the shipping method of an order in ShipStation, the change will not be reflected in Spree and the tracking link might not work
