Shopify to Shipstation Additional Details
Have Shopify's "Additional Details" and "Notes" sections import to different ShipStation fields! They are currently importing to 1 field in Shipstation, "Customer Order Notes".
Currently, if an order in Shopify has any information stored in the "Additional Details" column of an order, that information is imported into Shipstation in the "customer Order Notes" Field. This is the same field that the Shopify "Notes" section imports to. Shopify businesses commonly use the Shopify "Notes" section for gift messages. So, when all this info is imported, you get a gift message + any data from the "Additional Details" column funneling all together in the same Shipstation field.
This causes a huge headache for fulfillment and shipping teams that have to then manually separate a gift message from any other data that the import is capturing.

Hello, ShipStation will likely not be able to map this due to how Shopify sends the data as a string with attributes. However, I have written an automated tool that can process these automatically! If interested, let me know. rob@robwiddick.com
I having the same problem. It is such a hassle. Plus, additional information is an internal documentation that in no way should appear within packing slips or invoices, especially merged with customer notes. What is the point of selecting what fields to appear on your packing slip when the system does whatever it wants.

I know this question was asked a long time ago, but I solved/hacked this by:
- Using Shopify flow to wrap the order notes value in a div with a classname
- Outputting the Shipstation field with all the merged Shopify values onto the packing slip
- Styling the content in that field with font-size: 0px
- Styling the div classname within that content with a font-size: 12px;
This basically auto-parses the notes field for you.
why the heck would ShipStation map 2 different Shopify fields (Notes and Additional Details) to the same 1 ShipStation field “Note from Buyer”. So ridiculous. Let users do their own 1:1 mapping!

That’s a great point. I am going to ask a few of the product folks to see if we can fix or update that.
