Ecommerce Fulfillment Services for Volusion Storefronts

Shipwire can be connected to Volusion ecommerce storefront with no programming necessary and just a few steps. Shipwire enables volusion users to benefit from eCommerce fulfillment services once an order has been completed through the shopping cart.

Features that you can get with the Shipwire connection to Volusion

• Real-time order fulfillment
• Live inventory synch from all Shipwire warehouses to your Volusion account (warehouses in Chicago, Los Angeles, Toronto, Vancouver and London, England)
• Shipwire will submit order tracking information back to your Volusion store once shipped by the warehouse

To do this you must turn on the Volusion API, add Volusion to your Shipwire account and test.

This should only take a few minutes.

1. Turn on the Volusion API in your Volusion account. (Your account will need Volusion API support. This may be Gold level or above.)
a. Login to your Volusion account.
b. Enable Volusions “Generic API” under Inventory -> Import/Export -> Volusion API.
c. After you have enabled this Generic API integration, click the “run” button in the “Generic/Orders” section.
d. IMPORTANT: You must save the “encrypted password” portion of the URL (see image below if your not sure what part of the URL this is). You will plug this into the Shipwire Volusion wizard so that the Shipwire platform can connect to your Volusion account.

2. Add Volusion to your Shipwire account and connect.
a. Log into Shipwire and go to “Sell” tools section. Add Volusion as a sell tool and select “setup connection” tab.
b. You will be asked to enter the following: Your Volusion e-mail address; the encrypted password (see 1.d. above); your Volusion store domain name or IP.
c. Now tell Shipwire what Volusion order to start importing from and choose what Volusion status you want to use to trigger Shipwire to fulfill the order. We recommend “Ready to Ship” status.

3. Test
a. Place a few orders into your Volusion store and set the status as “Ready to Ship”.
b. Shipwire will pull new orders from your Volusion store every hour. Shipwire will automatically recoginze the order and fulfill the order once the order status is set to “Ready To Ship” in Volusion admin.

Note: In the Shipwire control panel you can delete orders from the Shipwire queue by clicking “Delete Checked Orders”. You can also force the order to be fulfilled even if the order status is not set to “Ready to Ship”.

Volusion Cart FAQ’s

Q – Volusion forces me to change my Password on a periodic basis. Is there anything I need to do in my Shipwire account?

A – To assure your security Volusion forces you to change the password on a periodic bases. The Shipwire “Volusion Encrypted Password” is based on your Volusion password. A change to this means you need to reset your Shipwire configuration information. The instructions above outline how to get your Encrypted password from your volusion account.

Q – Why does the Shipping Method chosen by Shipwire not match my Volusion Cart selection?

A – Shipwire uses the concept of Service Levels to choose what carrier we use to ship your orders. Refer to the Cart Trouble Shooter Guide for more information about this. So your service level determines the carrier, not your Volusion Cart selection.

Q – I understand Shipwire uses Service Levels to decide what carrier to use but Shipwire is still choosing the wrong service type? What is wrong?

A – Volusion has many carriers and service types mapped into it. Volusion passes Shipwire a three digit Shipping Method identifier that tells Shipwire what carrier and service is being selected. Shipwire then translates that into one of our service levels (GD, 2D, 1D, Intl). However the user can edit these values in the Volusion cart. For best results you should use the appropriate code value in this table:
