TDavy Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Site URL: https://www.manablend.com/ Hi Circle Crew :) Just trying to connect SP's "order API" to a 3PL called Carton Cloud. We have upgraded to the Commerce Plan and we are able to generate the API for Read Only "Orders", but alas the 3PL have their own OAtuh API & sandbox environment they wish us to use ..... I believe OAuth API's are not a SP option.. So Carton Cloud created an app invite via Zapier for us to try and connect that way, but Zapier only has a form Submission API request, unrelated to Orders. NOTE Shipstation Seem to have a solution here via the Form Submission option so it seems doable.. ? So I reached out to Zapier and explained the issue and showed them their own link here: https://zapier.com/apps/squarespace/integrations/shipstation Their Response: Apologies, I wasn't able to properly answer your inquiry. You mentioned that what you're looking for is to get order data from your Squarespace account. I assume the example of those would be something like new or completed order from your Squarespace account.However, upon checking our notes, that is not possible since the only trigger that our Squarespace app integration is New Form Submission. I do see that there is an open feature request to support e-commerce triggers such as new and completed orders, and I have added you to that request as an interested user. Question, how the hell do you connect a 3PL to SP haha? I have read the following: https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/236297987-Squarespace-API-keys https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000641507 https://developers.squarespace.com/commerce-apis/orders-overview Thanks for your help in advance Tara Link to comment
paul2009 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) Your assumptions are correct. To use a 3PL (third party logistics) solution with Squarespace, the third party must have created their own Squarespace Extension to connect through the API. Carton Cloud haven’t built one so you won’t be able to automate the connection between the two platforms without another third party connector. There are other RPA tools available - more advanced than Zapier - but I don't recommend them for this particular purpose because if they break you'll need the technical skills to troubleshoot the issues.

Georgepeterson24 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 We recently went through this process with our 3pl and was so easy. I read your thread and it seems like a way bigger issue than it actually should be.. if you need a recommendation, let us know! Link to comment
gesgr543aw Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) What is the best way to integrate any API in the Squarespace CMS? I want to try for my new app blog. Edited June 29, 2021 by gesgr543aw Link to comment
