Lipseys as a Source
Summary
Connect Lipseys as a source over their API. One connection stores both a Dealer account (ships to your store) and a Fulfillment account (dropships to customers); each job picks one. Order routing is automatic by brand and item type.
Add a source, start a Get Inventory (Primary) job, then click + New Connection and enter all four values exactly as Lipseys provided them. Click Test Connection → Save Connection.

One connection stores both Dealer and Fulfillment credentials: each job picks one
Enter both your Fulfillment and Dealer email/password in the same connection. In the Configure Settings step of each job, select which account type that job uses. You cannot run both account types in one job: create separate sources if you need both running independently.
Restricted manufacturer brands require the Dealer account: they cannot be dropshipped
Orders for restricted manufacturers (Browning, FN, Franklin Armory, Gemtech, GLOCK, HK USA, IWI, Marlin, Ruger, Smith & Wesson, Springfield Armory, Trijicon (accessories), Walther, and Winchester are blocked from dropshipping. SIG SAUER and Beretta require separate approval. Ammo and NFA items are excluded from dropship.) auto-route to the Dealer endpoint and need Dealer credentials. Submitting them as a Fulfillment/dropship order returns a "Not Authorized" error.
Get Shipments only covers the prior day: set lookback to 1 and run daily
Lipseys' /Shipping/OneDay endpoint returns shipment data for the previous business day only. A lookback greater than 1 day is ignored by the API. Schedule Get Shipments once per day to capture yesterday's shipments.
Archive can only be enabled on one inventory job at a time
Flxpoint already prevents Archive/Un-Archive from being enabled on both Get Inventory Primary and Secondary at the same time: turning it on for both is blocked, even if you try. Enable it on whichever job you want to own archival (typically Primary).
State and shipping restrictions
California accessory dropshipping is prohibited per Bill 1263. Firearm dropshipping is limited to the continental 48 states (no HI/AK). Handguns automatically ship Express Air, while long-gun-only orders ship Ground.
Firearm and FFL classification flags
Flxpoint reads fflRequired and sotRequired flags from Lipseys. For DropShipFirearm orders, a 15-digit FFL is validated against ATF EZ Check. CA-bound firearm orders require a DOJ number emailed to validateffl@lipseys.com.

How does order routing work for firearms vs. non-firearms?
/Order/APIOrder (Dealer); non-restricted firearms → /Order/DropShipFirearm; non-firearm items → /Order/DropShip. No manual configuration is needed: it's based on the item and your approved brands.What does Get Inventory Secondary update, and how often should it run?
/Items/PricingQuantityFeed) and updates Cost, Quantity, MSRP/MAP and UPC only, not attributes, images, dimensions or categories. Lipseys recommends 2–3 runs per hour, honoring the nextUpdate field. Run Primary twice a day for full catalog refreshes.What is the canDropship field and does it affect my integration?
canDropship indicates whether an item is eligible for direct-to-consumer dropship. Since May 31, 2025 Lipseys shows on-hand quantity even for items that can't be dropshipped, so they'll fail if submitted as a dropship order. Flxpoint handles the field automatically; add a Post-Mapping Workflow rule to exclude canDropship = false items if you don't want them in your catalog.How do I map product images from Lipseys?
imageName field. Flxpoint builds the URL automatically (https://www.lipseyscloud.com/images/{imageName}) and copies it to All Images via Direct Copy: no manual mapping template is needed. Each product has one primary image.
