Connecting Your Store to a Dropshipping Tool
Learn how to connect your store to a dropshipping automation tool, authorize your supplier, and turn on automatic shipping for paid orders.
What you need before you start the integration
Connecting your store to a dropshipping tool takes only a few minutes when you have everything ready: the store URL, the access token, and a supplier account already created. The end result is what matters to anyone running ops: a paid order becomes a shipped order automatically, with no spreadsheets and no manual copy-paste.
The whole flow comes down to connecting the store, authorizing the supplier, migrating the products, and turning on automatic shipping. I'll break down each step in the order it shows up.
How to create your account and start the trial
First step: go to the tool's site and click Start trial.
On the signup screen you fill in your full name, email, and set a password of at least 6 characters. Click start free trial and you're done, account created.
The next screen asks which platform you want to connect. This is where the real connection begins.
Connecting via store URL and access token
Two fields to fill in at this stage: the store URL and the access token. You grab both from inside your store platform's dashboard.
To get the store URL, go into the dashboard, click view store, and copy the address that shows up. Paste it into the first field.
The access token also comes from your platform's dashboard. Copy the link and paste it into the second field.
With both fields filled, click connect. Your store is now talking to the tool.
How to authorize your supplier account
Now the part that connects your inventory to the flow: authorizing the supplier account.
If you already have an account, you don't need to create a new one. Enter your email and password, click authorize account, and wait. This step can take up to 5 minutes, so don't keep clicking thinking it froze.
After that the tool verifies the account. A 6-digit code lands in your email. Grab the code, confirm, and the authorization is done.
Migrating products and orders
With the account authorized, the next choice is what you want to migrate: products, orders, or both.
If the store is new and has no sales yet, migrate only the products. There are no orders to bring over anyway.
On the migration screen you'll see every product in your store. Watch one important detail: a product with a red X is not connected. That's the sign that item still needs to be integrated.
When the step finishes, the status reads migrate items in products. Then you open the products tab and check: every item in your store also shows up inside the tool. Match found, integration done.
Anyone running dropshipping with a big catalog feels that same migration friction and repetitive naming on the ad side too. On Meta, keeping naming consistent across dozens of products and accounts is where human error creeps in. This is the kind of operation where standardizing naming across accounts takes the grunt work out of setting up campaign after campaign from scratch.
How to turn on automatic shipping for paid orders
Last step, and the one that saves the most time day to day.
Go back to the dashboard, click apps, and check the automatic shipping option. Here's what that toggle actually does:
- Card order: when marked as paid, it ships automatically.
- Boleto order: while it's pending, nothing happens. When the status updates to paid, the order goes to the supplier on its own.
Method doesn't matter. Once it flips to paid, the tool fires the shipment without you touching a thing. That's what separates an operation that scales from one stuck copy-pasting every order.
Takeaways
- Have the store URL and access token copied before you start. The connection won't go through without both.
- Set aside up to 5 minutes for supplier authorization and check your email for the 6-digit code.
- Check product status: a red X means the item isn't connected and needs to be integrated.
- Check automatic shipping under apps so every paid order, card or boleto, fires to the supplier on its own.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to migrate products and orders together?
No. You choose to migrate products only, orders only, or both. A new store with no sales migrates just the products, since there are no orders to bring over.
How long does it take to authorize the supplier account?
Up to 5 minutes. Then the tool runs a verification and sends a 6-digit code to your email. Without that code the authorization won't complete.
What does the red X on a product mean?
That the product isn't connected to the tool. You need to integrate it so it enters the automatic shipping flow.
Are boleto orders shipped automatically too?
Yes, but only when the status changes from pending to paid. While the boleto isn't cleared, the order sits idle. Once it clears, the shipment fires.
