Preface

You can connect your Shippo account to GroovePacker to import orders for scanning verification. This article guides you through the simple process of linking your accounts and configuring the integration to your current workflow.


This video will also guide you through the setup process described below.


Process

  1. Start by logging into your GroovePacker account.

  2. Access Store Settings by clicking on settings at the top of the GroovePacker. Here you will see a list of stores.

  3. Create or Select Shippo Store

    • If you already have a Shippo store listed, click on its name to open it.

    • If not, click Create New Store, enter a store name, and select Shippo from the Store Type dropdown. Then click Save and Close.

  4. Get Shippo API Credentials: Open your Shippo account in another tab. Go to Settings > API. Click Manage Token to generate a new live API token. Copy this token immediately, as it will not be visible again.

  5. Enter API Key and Version in GroovePacker: Return to GroovePacker and paste the copied API token into the API key field. Then copy the current API version date from Shippo’s API settings and paste it into the API version field. Click outside of the text fields once done to save.

  6. Configure Order Import Settings to match your current workflow. For example, enable "shipped" if you print shipping labels before packing. Then click Save and Close.

  7. Start Importing Orders
    Your GroovePacker account is now connected to Shippo, allowing you to import orders for scanning.




Additional Tips

  • You can import product data via CSV

  • GroovePacker supports flexible workflows, whether you print shipping labels before or after packing.

  • Using GroovePacker with Shippo reduces packing errors by verifying each scanned item against the order.
