Configurable Time Zone |
By default, ShipStation assumes that the Zoey store's server uses UTC as the timezone. If your Zoey account uses a different server timezone, you can define it in the store's settings. |
|
Invoice on Shipping |
When configuring your Zoey store connection, you can choose whether your store invoices when the order is placed or when the order is shipped. If your store invoiced upon shipment, ShipStation will include an action to invoice the order when we send the shipment update to Zoey. |
|
Partial Shipping |
When configuring your Zoey store connection, you can choose to enable Partial Shipping. If Partial Shipping is enabled, the shipment notification ShipStation will send to Zoey will include specific product information so that only the products in the shipment will be updated as Shipped on Zoey. |
-
If selling in multiple currencies, ShipStation will import the price and totals as numbers and will not convert currency values. The currency symbol displayed in ShipStation is based on your account's home country code.
-
If using ShipStation Legacy, Zoey orders that are split must retain the original order number. If the order number is changed, such as by adding a suffix, ShipStation cannot update the selling channel with the shipment information
Here are some common issues experienced by users, potential causes, and available troubleshooting tips.
|
The Order Date in ShipStation is different than the Order Date in Zoey |
What it means: This usually occurs because the Zoey server is using a different timezone than the timezone set in the store's settings in ShipStation, which causes the Order Date to be thrown off when converting the timestamp based on time zone. What to do: Update the store's settings so that the store is using the same timezone as the server your Zoey store is hosted on. |
|
Certain orders placed late in the day do not import into ShipStation |
What it means: Similar to the issue above, this typically occurs because the Zoey server is using a different timezone than the timezone set in the store's settings in ShipStation, which causes our import process to inadvertently skip ahead. What to do: Update the store's settings so that the store is using the same timezone as the server your Zoey store is hosted on. |
