lite prepcenter (LPC), one of the nations most trusted and reliable order fulfillment providers, is pleased to announce new integrations with Etsy and ShipStation.
LPC has a reputation for being an extremely dependable, straightforward order fulfillment partner, says Steve Bulger, Sales & Marketing Manager at lite prepcenter. Maintaining that reputation means we not only need to consistently get the right packages in the hands of the right customers, we also need to make it an effortless process for our ecommerce clients.
With the new Etsy and ShipStation integrations, which were developed and are supported by lite prepcenters internal IT group, LPC is able to automatically retrieve orders from both platforms. Once retrieved, orders then enter into the LPC web-based Fulfillment Control Panel, in which LPC clients have ongoing visibility over their orders, inventory, and ship history. Orders are then quickly processed and shipped from the lite prepcenter warehouse, before inventory and tracking numbers are automatically sent back to Etsy and ShipStation.
Were very pleased to offer these two new integrations, adds Bulger. Etsy is a growing marketplace that were seeing a lot of merchants adding to their multi-channel sales strategy. Weve handled order fulfillment for Etsy sellers for years, and were now able to automate it for them.
ShipStation is a great system that specializes in managing inventory and orders for merchants that sell on multiple channels, such as Amazon, eBay, as well as through their own ecommerce store. So now, rather than doing separate integrations with each of those channels, we can simply do one integration if our clients are using ShipStation, and make it even more streamlined. If our client is not using ShipStation, however, and wants us to integrate directly with Amazon, eBay, Etsy and/or their own store, weve got them covered there, too.
By adding Etsy and ShipStation, lite prepcenter now bolsters a list of nearly 40 integrations, which also includes Amazon, eBay, Shopify, Magento, Bigcommerce, 3dcart, Volusion, PrestaShop, WooCommerce, TradeGecko, and many more. Click here for a full list of order fulfillment integrations.
Hi Steve, we use shopify and have the shipstation app integrated into that platform.
Should we integrate efulfillment with shipstation or shopify?
Hi Tony –
Good question! If you are selling on multiple sales channels and those orders are all flowing through ShipStation (and if we are handling order fulfillment from those channels), then I would likely recommend integration with ShipStation. However, if you’re not selling on multiple channels or if the orders we’re filling are all flowing through Shopify, then I would recommend integrating directly with Shopify.
This is something that you could discuss further with your account manager here.
Thanks!
Steve Bulger
