Keep Your ShipStation Orders and Accounting in Sync
Connex automates the workflow between ShipStation and QuickBooks, so routing, partial shipments, and shipment status update your accounting automatically, without manual entry.
A wholesale order doesn't finish when a warehouse marks it shipped. It still has to route to the right facility, survive a partial shipment or backorder, and land back in your accounting system as the correct invoice or sales order with tracking attached. Do that by hand across three systems and something eventually breaks: a customer gets billed for product that never shipped, or an invoice never goes out at all.
Connex automates the workflow between ShipStation, your other fulfillment tools, and QuickBooks, so fulfillment and accounting move together without a person in the middle.
Connex applies routing rules to send wholesale orders to the correct warehouse or 3PL, manages partial shipments and backorders as they happen instead of as an exception to clean up later, and updates shipment status and tracking in QuickBooks once an order ships. If you're migrating between fulfillment platforms, Connex carries that transition so your accounting doesn't break in the process.
This fits sellers running more than one warehouse or 3PL, processing wholesale orders with frequent partial shipments, mid platform migration, or losing real hours a week reconciling fulfillment against accounting by hand.
Partial Shipments for Wholesale Orders
When a wholesale order ships in pieces, accounting needs to reflect exactly what went out and what's still owed. Connex updates QuickBooks as each partial shipment happens, so nothing gets invoiced early and nothing gets missed once the backorder finally clears.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
What happens in QuickBooks when only part of an order ships?
When a wholesale order ships in pieces, accounting needs to reflect exactly what went out and what's still owed. Connex updates QuickBooks as each partial shipment happens, so nothing gets invoiced early and nothing gets missed once the backorder finally clears.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
Can Connex route orders to different warehouses automatically?
Yes. Routing rules are configured based on product, location, or other criteria you define, and orders are sent to the correct warehouse or 3PL without manual review.
Order Routing Across Warehouses and 3PLs
Sellers running more than one warehouse, or splitting fulfillment across a 3PL, need orders to land in the right place without someone checking each one by hand. Connex applies routing rules based on the criteria you set, so the right facility gets the right order the first time.
Fulfillment Platform Migration
Moving fulfillment systems is one of the riskiest points for accounting to fall out of sync. Connex is built to carry that transition, mapping the new platform's data into QuickBooks the same way the old one did, so the switch doesn't cost you accuracy.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
Will switching fulfillment platforms break my QuickBooks sync?
Connex helps preserve your accounting workflow during a fulfillment platform migration, reducing disruption while the new system is implemented.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
Does Connex support drop shipped orders?
Yes. Drop ship orders sync the same way as warehouse fulfilled orders, with status updating once the supplier ships.
Drop Ship Orders
Some orders never touch your own warehouse. Connex handles drop ship orders the same way it handles standard fulfillment, updating status and tracking back to QuickBooks once the supplier confirms the shipment.
ShipStation and QuickBooks Workflow
ShipStation is one of the most common fulfillment tools Connex automates alongside QuickBooks. Connex syncs the sales order, invoice, or estimate your workflow needs from QuickBooks to ShipStation for fulfillment, and updates that same document back in QuickBooks automatically once the order ships.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
How do I sync ShipStation with QuickBooks?
Connex syncs the document your fulfillment workflow requires, whether that's a sales order, invoice, or estimate, from QuickBooks to ShipStation, and updates that document in QuickBooks automatically once the order ships.
