Generating API Keys
In order to connect Shipster Pro to your ShipStation you will need to generate an API key. In ShipStation go to Settings > Account > API Settings and select (Generate API Key)
Email Setup
All emails from Shipster Pro are sent from SendGrid (a Twillio service). We will configure the account for you and send you the required confirmation link and DNS (txt) record.
If you don’t have direct access to your website DNS settings, simply forward this information on to your web hosting provider.

Details: the txt record (DNS) verifies that Shipster Pro is authorized to send email on behalf of your company. This record gets placed in your website DNS records and helps keep your emails from getting flagged as ‘spam’ or blocked by email providers.
Shipster Pro Download
We will create an account for you on the Shipster Pro platform. Once you verify your email address you will get a download link and you’ll be ready to set up your shipping station.
