Overview

This node integrates with the ShipStation API v2, allowing users to manage various ShipStation resources such as shipments, labels, inventory, products, rates, batches, carriers, warehouses, and tags. Specifically for the Product - Create operation, it enables creating a new product in ShipStation by sending custom JSON data representing the product details.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include automating product creation workflows in e-commerce or shipping platforms, syncing product catalogs between systems, or programmatically managing product data without manual entry.

Example: Automatically create a new product in ShipStation when a new item is added to an online store, by passing the product details as JSON to this node.

Troubleshooting

Invalid JSON Data: If the JSON provided in JSON Data is malformed or missing required fields, the API will return an error. Ensure the JSON is valid and matches ShipStation's product schema.
Authentication Errors: If the API key credential is invalid or missing, authentication errors will occur. Verify that the API key is correctly set up in n8n credentials.
API Rate Limits: Frequent requests may hit ShipStation API rate limits, causing errors. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if needed.
