Learn how to create a ShipCompliant web service user to integrate with a POS system or eCommerce platform.
A ShipCompliant Web Service User allows ShipCompliant to integrate with a POS system, or other front-end eCommerce platform. Setting up a web service user will connect your ShipCompliant account to your POS system, letting information (such as order data, compliance checks, and tax determination) flow into your ShipCompliant account. You can set up a web service user in your ShipCompliant account.
In ShipCompliant, go to Settings, then click Users.
Click Add User.
Fill out the required fields under Add/Modify User.
First name: type in the name of the integrating company.
Last name: type in Webservice.
Email address: type in an email address in the format: WineShipping@MyWinery.com. This should not be an active or valid email address, and the name of the email should be the name of the company you're integrating with (in this example, WineShipping is used). The second part of the email address following the @ symbol should be your winery name with .com at the end.
Password: must be between six and 12 characters long, contain one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and one numeric digit.
Role Type: always set to Web Service User for API Integrations.
Associated Partner: select the system you're integrating with. If you don't see your partner listed, contact Sovos Support.
Click Save.
Share the custom email address and the password with the system you're integrating to ShipCompliant.
