ShipStation is a multi-carrier shipping platform that imports orders from sales channels, prints labels and tracks shipments. Companies integrate ShipStation when orders originate in an ERP, OMS or custom storefront that has no native ShipStation connection, or when shipment and tracking data must flow back into those systems and customer communications. AIONDATA builds on the ShipStation API, its webhooks and the Custom Store integration model.
Orders ready to ship are created in ShipStation through the ShipStation API with items, weights, addresses and requested service. When a label is created ShipStation fires a SHIP_NOTIFY webhook, and we write the carrier, tracking number and cost back to the ERP and trigger any downstream notifications.
Yes. ShipStation supports a Custom Store integration where your platform exposes an XML endpoint that ShipStation polls for orders and posts shipment updates to. AIONDATA builds and hosts that endpoint, or uses the REST API directly if that fits your architecture better.
Yes. AIONDATA can expose ShipStation to AI agents through a custom MCP server offering tools such as find shipment by order number, get tracking status, or compare rates for a package. Support copilots can then answer where-is-my-order questions with live shipping data.
ShipStation enforces per-minute request limits, so we batch order creation, respect the rate-limit headers and queue retries. Multiple ShipStation accounts or stores are supported through separate credentials mapped to the appropriate ERP entities or warehouses.
