ShipStation can display Shopify’s inventory stock count, and will reduce stock from the appropriate inventory location when ShipStation sends the shipment update to Shopify. See Shopify Inventory for more information.
Supports Partial Shipping
If you split a Shopify order in ShipStation, the shipment update we’ll send to Shopify will only include the products within the shipped order.
Supports Shopify POS
ShipStation will import Shopify POS orders as long as they are for a physical product and as long as they require shipping.
For more information please refer to the Additional Features for the Shopify Integration section in this guide.

This occurs when we create a fulfillment update but we receive an error from Shopify stating that the fulfillment could not be created for one of the following reasons:
The order is already fulfilled.
One or more Shopify products in the order are set to use a fulfillment service.
Your store is using Shopify’s inventory management features, but the Ship From Location used to create the shipping label was not linked to the correct Shopify inventory source, or the product is out of stock. See Shopify Inventory for more information.
We recommend seeing if you can update the order directly in Shopify as we will not be able to update the order as fulfilled.
