Supported Order Statuses

Ship4Shop order statuses map to ShippingEasy in the following way:

Shift4Shop status	ShippingEasy status
New	Awaiting Shipment
Processing	Awaiting Shipment
Partial	Partially Shipped
Unpaid	Awaiting Payment
Hold	Awaiting Fulfillment
Custom 1, 2, 3	Awaiting Shipment

The statuses Shipped, Cancelled, and Not Completed will not sync into ShippingEasy. The status Hold is not automatically included in order downloads. You can manually select to include this as well as 3 custom statuses in orders that sync by following these steps.

Select Shift4Shop order statuses to sync into ShippingEasy

Go to SETTINGS and click on the STORES & ORDERS page under the INTEGRATION section.
Click Edit Store Settings.
Click the "Orders" tab and scroll down to the "Enabled Order Statuses" section and check each status that you'd like to sync into ShippingEasy.
In the "Custom Status Name" field, enter the exact custom status name as it appears in your Shift4Shop control panel. TIP: we suggest copy and pasting these to ensure accuracy.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and Save your changes.
Then head back to your ORDERS page and click Sync with Store.

Custom Statuses Must Match Exactly!

It is imperative that the custom status listed in ShippingEasy exactly matches the status as it is saved in Shift4Shop. Even a minor difference, such as spaces, capitalization, or punctuation, will result in orders failing to sync.

We recommend copying and pasting the statuses directly from Shift4Shop into ShippingEasy. [Shift4Shop article showing how to get to custom status settings].

Shift4Shop Integration Notes

If you manage your orders in your Shift4Shop admin panel by moving them between statuses, you may wish to disable ShippingEasy's automatic order download. This allows you to edit your orders and then tell ShippingEasy when you're ready to sync your orders. Learn more about syncing on demand.
Shift4Shop provides the option to purchase multiple items and send them to multiple recipients; however, ShippingEasy does not currently support this. We're interested to know how important this feature is to our Shift4Shop customers. Please leave your feedback in our Feature Request forum. Learn more about sharing your feedback with ShippingEasy.
Manual orders that are in an approved syncing status when the API queries your store will import into ShippingEasy.
If a canceled order is still on the ORDERS page in ShippingEasy and has not been edited in ShippingEasy, it will be removed automatically the next time ShippingEasy syncs Shift4Shop orders.
If you have customized your Shift4Shop statuses and assigned any name other than "Shipped" to your Shipped orders folder, ShippingEasy will be unable to mark your orders as shipped. Once you update your Shipped order folder's name back to "Shipped", future order updates to your Shift4Shop store will be successful.
