FAQ

Questions before you join

Will this buy labels or rate shipments?

No. It is only a CSV preflight concept for order import data.

What fields would it check?

Required addresses, quantities, weights, SKUs, requested service values, order numbers, and obvious format issues.

Does it need ShipStation API access?

Not for the first version. A CSV-based workflow keeps validation simple and self-service.

What should I describe when joining?

Mention whether your import issues come from ERP exports, manual CSVs, kit orders, or missing shipping fields.
