Overview

This node interacts with the ShipStation API to create a shipment. It allows users to provide shipment details in JSON format, which the node sends to the ShipStation API to create a new shipment record. This is useful for automating shipment creation in e-commerce or logistics workflows, where shipment data can be dynamically generated and sent to ShipStation for processing.

Use Case Examples

1. Automatically create shipments in ShipStation when new orders are received in an e-commerce platform.
2. Generate shipment records in ShipStation based on inventory dispatch events in a warehouse management system.
