Streamline Fulfillment With Powerful Shipping Software Integrations
Spark Shipping is your all-in-one solution for automating and scaling your dropshipping business. Our software connects your store with reliable shipping software to import orders automatically, eliminating manual tasks so you can focus on growing your business.
With Spark Shipping, you can:
- Automate Everything: Seamlessly sync product data, inventory, and pricing in real time.
- Streamline Fulfillment: Automatically send orders to vendors and update customers with tracking information.
- Optimize Profitability: Utilize intelligent order routing to determine the most suitable shipping options and automate pricing to maintain your margins.
- Sell More Products: Easily manage data and regulatory requirements for a massive product catalog.
Most stores that dropship don't dropship everything — they ship some orders from their own shelf and route the rest to suppliers. Spark Shipping is built for that hybrid reality. It decides which orders or line items go to which vendor, sends them automatically, and pulls tracking back into your store, while your shipping software keeps handling the orders you fulfill yourself. Inventory from both worlds stays accurate on the storefront, so you can grow the dropship side of the business without breaking the workflow your warehouse team already uses.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Spark Shipping work with shipping software?
Spark Shipping decides where an order or line item should be fulfilled and sends the relevant order to the configured destination. Your shipping software can continue handling carrier rates, labels, and shipment processing for orders fulfilled from your own warehouse. Spark then brings supported tracking information back into the storefront workflow.
Which shipping software platforms connect to Spark Shipping?
The current Spark Shipping integration directory lists ShipStation and Shipwire under Shipping Software. The directory can change, and the workflow available through each connection may differ. Check the current listing and confirm the order, shipment, and tracking functions you need.
Can I keep using shipping software for my own stock while dropshipping other products?
Yes. Spark Shipping supports a hybrid workflow. Orders for products you hold can continue to your warehouse and shipping software, while dropship items are sent to the relevant supplier. A mixed order can be separated by line item when the products are mapped to different fulfillment sources.
How does Spark Shipping decide which orders go to my shipping software?
Spark Shipping uses the product mappings and routing rules you configure. An order for your stocked inventory can be sent to your warehouse workflow, while a dropship item can go directly to its supplier. If an order contains both, Spark can route the line items separately. The required source mappings must be in place first.
Can Spark Shipping send tracking from my shipping software back to my store?
Yes, when the integration provides supported shipment data. Spark Shipping can retrieve tracking from the shipping system and send it to the connected store or sales channel. Your normal customer notification can then use that information. Timing and available shipment fields depend on the integration.
Does Spark Shipping replace my shipping software or create shipping labels?
No. Spark Shipping coordinates supplier and fulfillment routing; the connected shipping software remains responsible for functions such as carrier rates, label creation, and shipment processing. The two systems work together by exchanging supported order and tracking data.
Can I use the same shipping workflow across multiple sales channels?
Yes. You can connect supported stores and marketplaces to Spark Shipping and apply the configured fulfillment workflow to their orders. Orders can be routed to suppliers, warehouses, or shipping software according to their product mappings. Channel support and the data exchanged vary by connection.
Can Spark Shipping connect to shipping software that is not currently listed?
Yes, a custom connection is possible if the shipping platform can receive orders and return shipment or tracking data through a supported method. Spark Shipping must review the platform's API or other available integration method before confirming the workflow.
