ReadyToShip's Magento 2 integration doesn't require a Magento module/app install.
It requires that you add a new user to Magento with a correct User Role (Method 1 below),
or if you are using 2 Factor Authentication for users then you can use a Token based connection (Method 2 below).
(Looking to connect a Magento 1 store? click here)
Connection only takes 2 or 3 minutes.
Our Magento 2 integration:
Automatically imports orders every few minutes that are in a Processing Status. and are Invoiced (paid in full).
Will import Weight from SKUs where possible
Will import Length, Width and Height attributes (these can be configured in ReadyToShip settings)
Update of tracking information and order Completion are done by ReadyToShip.
As this integration is API based, no copy and paste of addresses or tracking data will be required after shipping. ReadyToShip will do all of this for you.
To complete the connection you can watch this video, or follow the steps below.
For User/Role based integration, see Method 1 below.
For Token based integration, scroll down to Method 2.
Method 1: User/Role based integration

Then, click Save to save the role.
Step 2 - Create a new Magento User, and assign the 'readytoship' role
Go to System > All Users
Add your new user details (this is the user information you need to enter into the ReadyToShip website to connect to your Magento store).
Create a username like 'readytoship', as shown.
Choose a password to use (please make it secure)
Remember the username and password (highlighted in green) as they will be used later.
Click on the "User Role" tab on the left side of the screen.
Select the new Role you have created in Step 1.
Then click Save.
Step 3 - Create the Store connection in ReadytoShip
In ReadyToShip, go to Settings > Stores > Add Store > Magento 2
In the setup screen, enter the User Name and Password you chose in Step 2.

Completing your Store Connection
When filling out store details, you can also add the length, width and height attributes (if you have them) in your store, so we can import that data for your SKUs.
Note that you can set up separate connections for each Magento Store view that you have, or import orders from ALL store view with one connection.
This is useful for businesses that run multiple websites in one Magento installation, and want to retail different branding and settings for each Magento store.
After saving the store, we will automatically import orders from the last 7 days.
If you need a longer import to run, please contact us via live chat and we can organise for you.
