Simplify Fulfillment From Checkout to Delivery
-
The moment a Digistore24 sale clears, ShipStation receives the order, line items, and shipping address. No CSV exports, no copy-paste.
-
Use ShipStation's rate shopping and batch printing on top of your Digistore24 order flow. Ship 100 packages in 1 click.
-
Tracking numbers and 'shipped' status flow back to Digistore24. Customers see status updates, and your refund window stays clean.
-
Route only the products that ship physically. Keep digital orders, add-ons, and unsupported regions out of the queue automatically.
A Short List of Prep Work

Test With One Product First
Set the scope filter (step 5) to a single low-volume product on day 1. Place a test order, confirm it lands in ShipStation with the right SKU, ship it, and watch tracking sync back to Digistore24. Then expand the scope to the rest of your catalog.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can one Digistore24 product fulfill multiple SKUs?
Yes. In step 4 of the setup, comma-separate the SKUs in the Product SKU field. ShipStation receives each as a separate line item on the order. That's how kits, bundles, and free-plus-shipping samples are usually handled.
- What happens to a shipment if the customer refunds?
The shipment stays where it is in ShipStation, since Digistore24 doesn't auto-cancel labels. If the order hasn't shipped yet, cancel it manually inside ShipStation. We recommend filtering by order status in ShipStation so refunded orders surface in their own view, separate from the print queue.
- Why is my test connection failing?
Most of the time it's a typo'd API secret or a SKU that doesn't exist in ShipStation yet. Re-paste the secret, confirm the SKU shows in ShipStation's product list, and try again. The error-notification email you set in step 6 will receive a detailed reason whenever an IPN fails to deliver.
