Helpful tips for using DistributorCentral's ShipStation Integration:

• All order #'s are prefixed with the DC Order Number
  For example:1234567-987654 (with 1234567 being the DC order number) 
• You can search ShipStation by the DC Order Number to find shipments related to that order
• Orders with multiple addresses are separate orders within ShipStation to allow you to easily ship to multiple addresses
• Tracking numbers are automatically added to your DC order once you print a label for that order
