  7. Modify your custom orders statuses in the corresponding fields if you have any custom order statuses other than the default AmeriCommerce statuses.

    • Example: If the AmeriCommerce status is Approved, Pending Shipping, the ShipStation status should be Approved Pending Shipping

After you've completed the above steps, your AmeriCommerce store will be connected to ShipStation. You'll be taken to the store's Settings page to adjust the store-specific settings like Branding, Notifications, and Product handling.
