Lindyship is the bridge between your SureCart store and your shipping platform. Push orders manually from the Orders tab to your platform’s incoming queue. When you ship the parcel, the tracking number comes straight back to SureCart and the built-in fulfillment email fires with no copy-pasting tracking numbers. Supported platforms Sendcloud: push to parcel queue, HMAC webhook, tracking writeback Shippo: push to orders queue, HMAC webhook, tracking writeback ShipStation: push to orders queue, HMAC webhook, tracking writeback Packlink PRO: push to shipment queue, secret-token webhook, tracking writeback How it works A customer completes a paid order in your SureCart store. You push the order manually from the Orders tab to your chosen shipping platform. You process the shipment inside that platform’s dashboard. Lindyship does not generate labels or compare rates. The platform sends a tracking webhook back to your site. The plugin writes the tracking number to SureCart and marks the order as fulfilled. Key features Single platform selection: choose one shipping platform to connect with. Manual push: push orders individually from the Orders tab when you’re ready to ship. Automatic retry: failed pushes are retried up to 3 times over 24 hours before being marked permanently failed. Sync log: every push attempt, webhook delivery, and tracking writeback is recorded with full HTTP request/response capture available for debugging. Diagnostics tab: one-click health checks for PHP, OpenSSL, SureCart connection, DB table, cron schedule, sender address, and webhook reachability. Test push: send a synthetic order end-to-end to verify your credentials and webhook without a real customer. Credentials encrypted at rest: all API keys and secrets are AES-256 encrypted in the database. What this plugin does NOT do It does not generate shipping labels, compare carrier rates, or provide a checkout rate widget. All of that lives inside your shipping platform’s dashboard. This plugin is purely the data bridge. External services This plugin connects to external shipping platform APIs in order to push order data and receive tracking updates. All communication happens server-to-server; no customer data is sent to the plugin author’s servers.
