(string)strip_tags($img_array[$product->product_id]->url) . ']]></ImageUrl>'; to: Code: $url = (string)strip_tags($img_array[$product->product_id]->url); if(strlen($url) <= 100) $image_url = ' <ImageUrl><![CDATA[' . $url . ']]></ImageUrl>'; in the file plugins/system/shipstation/shipstation.php and it will automatically skip images if their URL is greater than 100 characters. We'll add that change on our end too.

Previously without your update in this thread Shipstation would return the error message everytime you would try to sync. With your update Shipstation claims to sync orders successfully but it doesn't actually sync anything. If there is an order in the queue it will enter the same str100 error in the activity log but not show it for the end user. It will then show every new sync as successful without actually doing anything. I can provide access to both the website and the shipstation account if that is helpful.

I am not sure how to best connect the support that you are providing with the support offered at Shipstation. I did provide a login for our shipstation account and information for accessing the site.

It looks like the orders are now coming into shipstation correctly. Shipstation is updating the order status in the order history. It is not including the shipping tracking ID.

From this if you see nothing in your order form or relative email then 2 possibilities : - For a reason or another Shipstation **didn't provide** (in this notification to your e-commerce) these datas **OR** - Your Shipping service **didn't provide** its to Shipstation. From this you can ask to Shipstation why there are no Tracking datas (and check that it's not a setting issue) **AND** contact your relative shipping service, and check that it's not a setting point in your service merchant account. Hope this will help you to get the root issue. Regards Last edit: 3 years 9 months ago by [Philip](/forum/user/34318-philip "View Philip's Profile").
