Connect FTP to ShipStation and automate your tasks

Why integrate FTP with ShipStation

The FTP to ShipStation integration helps you sync data, automate manual tasks, and keep your stack aligned — without writing code.

Receive inventory updates from your supplier

When a supplier drops a CSV on your FTP server, MESA picks it up on schedule and updates Shopify product inventory automatically. Stock levels stay accurate without manual imports or copy-paste.

Send order files to your fulfillment partner

After orders are placed, MESA generates a formatted CSV and uploads it to your 3PL's FTP server. Your fulfillment partner has what they need without manual exports or email attachments.

Sync product catalog updates from a supplier feed

MESA reads your supplier's product file on a schedule and maps the data to Shopify's format. New SKUs, updated prices, and changed descriptions land in your store without manual intervention.

Push every Shopify order to ShipStation the moment it's placed

When an order comes in, MESA sends it to ShipStation with the right shipping method, carrier, and fulfillment rules already applied. Your team picks up a ready-to-ship order, not a configuration task.

Route orders to the right warehouse based on what's in the cart

When an order contains specific products, a wholesale flag, or a regional destination, MESA reads the details and sends it to the correct ShipStation fulfillment location. Every order reaches the right facility without manual sorting.

Update Shopify the moment ShipStation marks an order shipped

When ShipStation generates a tracking number and marks an order fulfilled, MESA writes the update back to Shopify and triggers any downstream actions — a Klaviyo notification, a customer tag, a loyalty point. Your post-purchase workflow starts the moment fulfillment does.

Build any FTP and ShipStation automation

MESA helps you connect apps to automate repetitive tasks. A trigger is an event that starts a workflow, and actions are the steps that occur when it's running.
