About
eDesk by xSellco is an ecommerce customer service tool built for online sellers. It brings customer interactions from sales channels, social channels, and email into one shared workspace so your team can stay organized and reply with better context.
Pair eDesk with ShipStation, and post-purchase support gets much easier. Instead of jumping between carrier sites, order screens, and inbox views, your team can keep the conversation tied to the shipment. eDesk users can view shipment statuses along with key order details from ShipStation, including when the order shipped, the carrier and service type, the destination address, and tracking information. That gives customer support a clearer view of what happened before a shopper ever asks.
The payoff is simple: faster response times, fewer manual lookups, and better answers on delivery questions. eDesk keeps messages in one place. ShipStation keeps shipping data close to the ticket. Together, they give your team cleaner order data, stronger follow-up, and room to focus on the customer interactions that need judgment, not repetitive status checks. Beyond support, ShipStation also helps you ship smarter with discounted rates from UPS®, USPS®, FedEx®, and DHL Express.
Why eDesk users choose ShipStation
Move beyond basic shipping tools with ShipStation
STEP 1
In ShipStation, go to Account Settings. Select Account from the side navigation, then choose API Settings. Only the Account Owner can generate API keys, so make sure the right person starts the setup.
STEP 2
Choose your API Version from the dropdown and click Generate API Key. ShipStation sends a verification link to your user email address. You must verify that email before generating the keys.
STEP 3
After verification, set the key expiration to 3, 6, or 12 months, then click Generate. Copy the API key and secret right away and store them securely, because the plain-text view appears only once.
STEP 4
Log in to eDesk and go to Avatar > Settings > Integrations > ShipStation. Paste the ShipStation API key and secret into the matching fields, then click Save Changes.

FAQ
eDesk and ShipStation FAQ for customer service, order data, and support teams
Is xSellco the same as eDesk?
Yes. xSellco is the older brand name that many sellers still search for, while eDesk is the current product name. If you are looking for xSellco eDesk and ShipStation, you are in the right place for the same ecommerce support workflow.
What does eDesk by xSellco help customer support teams do with ShipStation?
eDesk gives customer support teams one shared place to manage messages, while ShipStation adds shipment context to that work. Your team can handle support tickets with shipping facts close by instead of hunting across carrier pages and admin tools. That makes delivery questions easier to answer and keeps post-purchase service more organized as volume grows.
Can eDesk help manage customer interactions from social channels?
Yes. eDesk is built to consolidate customer interactions from sales channels, social channels, and email into a central shared workspace. When ShipStation is connected, those conversations can stay closer to the shipment details your team needs to answer post-purchase questions clearly.
How does eDesk use order data in customer support workflows?
Order data gives support agents the context they need before they reply. With ShipStation connected, eDesk users can work with shipping-related information inside the support flow instead of treating fulfillment and service as separate jobs. That means less tab switching, cleaner handoffs between teammates, and better response times when buyers ask where an order is or what happened to a shipment.
What order details from ShipStation show in eDesk?
ShipStation sends shipment status information that helps your team answer delivery questions with more confidence. eDesk users can view:
- When the order was shipped
- The carrier and service type
- The destination address
- Shipment status and tracking information
Not every carrier or service sends the same level of tracking detail to ShipStation, so the information shown in eDesk can vary.
Can eDesk help support teams handle complex issues faster?
Yes. Complex issues still need human judgment, but better context removes wasted steps. When your team can see the shipping picture sooner, they spend less time gathering facts and more time solving the real problem. That matters when a ticket involves missed expectations, follow-up questions, or a handoff between teammates.
Why do teams handling thousands of online orders pair eDesk with ShipStation?
When order volume is high, they need support and shipping to work together, not in separate silos. eDesk is built for ecommerce customer service, and ShipStation adds the fulfillment data that support teams need after checkout. For growing brands, that combination helps keep messages organized, answers consistent, and shipping operations strong as order volume climbs.
