Failed to create order in Shipstation: App returned "The request is invalid."
Best answer by Troy Tessalone
Make sure all required fields are populated.
State may expect the State abbreviation. (e.g. CA)
Country Code probably expects the 2-letter or 3-letter country code. (e.g. US or USA)

Hi
Good question.
The error might be due to the dummy data being used.
Try using real data to test.
I tried but for some reason zapier will not pull the good information. Even though we just had an order. Never had this issue before.
It alsoo failed on the live run so not that

But how would I get that adjusted as it does not have those options from the trigger app?
I cannot set the filter for abbreviation of all 50 states

Hey
Looking at the logs, it looks like the issue was that the ship-to country needed to be a two-character code. E.g., “US” instead of “United States”
It also looks like you might have figured that out now and have had some success...is that right?
