How to Connect ShipBob to Your Shopping Cart

Spark Shipping connects your vendors to your ecommerce store in four quick steps.

1. Get your integration credentials from ShipBob
   To allow Spark Shipping to sync with ShipBob, you first need to obtain their specific API or data feed credentials.

   • Log in to your vendor’s dealer portal and look for a section labeled API, Integrations, or Data Feeds. If unavailable, contact your vendor representative to request their API keys or FTP credentials.

2. Create or log in to your Spark Shipping account
   If you haven’t already, create a Spark Shipping account or log in to your existing dashboard to begin the setup.

3. Add the vendor in Spark Shipping and paste your credentials

   • In your Spark Shipping dashboard, go to Vendors.
   • Click Add Vendor, then select ShipBob from the list of integrations.
   • Enter the credentials you retrieved in Step 1 (such as API Keys, FTP details, or Client IDs) into the corresponding fields.

4. Test the connection and start syncing products and orders

   • Click the Test Connection button to confirm that Spark Shipping can communicate with ShipBob’s system.
   • Once validated, the connection is live. Spark Shipping will begin downloading the product catalog (the initial sync time varies by vendor).
   • You can now configure your automation rules to automatically sync inventory, pricing, and route orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you give me more information about ShipBob?

How do I integrate ShipBob with my ecommerce store?

Spark Shipping provides a pre-built ShipBob integration that works with Shopify, BigCommerce, Magento, WooCommerce, Amazon, eBay, Walmart Marketplace, and other platforms. To get started, create a Spark Shipping account, add ShipBob as a vendor using your API credentials or data feed details, then connect your ecommerce store. Once linked, product data, inventory, pricing, order routing, and tracking updates flow automatically — no custom development required.

What ShipBob product data does Spark Shipping sync?

Spark Shipping syncs the full ShipBob product catalog your dealer account is authorized for, including titles, descriptions, specifications, high-resolution images, UPCs, MPNs, brand and category data, and your dealer-specific pricing. All product data stays up to date automatically.

Does Spark Shipping keep ShipBob inventory and pricing in sync automatically?

Yes. Spark Shipping pulls live inventory levels and dealer pricing directly from ShipBob and pushes updates to your store on a scheduled interval. When a product goes out of stock or ShipBob changes wholesale cost or MAP pricing, your listings update automatically to prevent overselling and protect your margins.

Can Spark Shipping automate ShipBob order fulfillment and tracking?

Yes. When a customer places an order on your store, Spark Shipping captures it and submits a fulfillment request directly to ShipBob. Once ShipBob ships the order, tracking information is pulled back and pushed to your ecommerce platform automatically, so your customer receives a shipping notification without any manual work.

Can I sell ShipBob products alongside other suppliers?

Absolutely. Spark Shipping supports multiple vendors on a single store. If the same product is available from ShipBob and another supplier, you can link both to one listing. Spark Shipping's Intelligent Order Routing then automatically selects the supplier with the best price or closest warehouse to the customer's shipping address for each order.

How does Spark Shipping handle ShipBob pricing and profit margins?

Spark Shipping pulls your dealer cost and MAP pricing directly from ShipBob and applies your custom pricing rules to calculate retail prices. You can set fixed dollar markups, percentage margins, or tiered pricing structures. When ShipBob changes wholesale cost or MAP, your store prices adjust automatically.
