You know how you have to have experience to get a job, but you can't get a job without experience? Yeah, that whole thing.
My company is in the process of leaving our current Marketplace for a website/eCommerce platform designed for us from the ground up. As the head of our Shipping, I've been tasked with creating the connections between our new marketplace and ShipStation so the spice can flow without any hiccups. Our new eCommerce platform builders (not found in the Marketplace section of ShipStation) tell me I need to just plug in the API key/secret and the Store ID to make the connection. (I know how to find Store IDs), but how do I get a Store ID unless I create the store? They told me not to go the route of Custom Store Connection, because the connection should be done via API key, not XML web endpoints.
Do I create a Manual Store, get the ID, and use that? My gut tells me no, because those are for manual orders or "orders imported via CSV or text files."
How do I create the Store without a connection in order to plug in the ID to connect the Store?
