Connecting GunBroker as a Site

Connect your GunBroker seller account so Spark Shipping can create listings, keep stock and prices current, and pull your orders.

1. Create the site

  1. Go to Sites, click New Site, then click Gun Broker. The site's Credentials page opens.
  2. Enter your GunBroker Username and Password.
  3. Set Environment to production. The other choice, sandbox, only works with GunBroker's test site, and it's the one selected by default.
  4. Click Test Connection.

What the test does

  • Connection: Spark Shipping signs in to GunBroker and gets an access token. "Unauthorized. Please check credentials." means the username or password is wrong, or the environment doesn't match your account.
  • Your GunBroker shipping profiles are loaded so you can pick one as a default.
  • GunBroker's category list starts loading in the background. It's a long list, so give it a few minutes before you look for categories in the dropdowns.

2. Set your listing defaults

Before pushing products, open Default Product Options and set the defaults used for new listings, such as category, condition, payment methods and shipping.

Custom Settings also has the Get full FFL Number Information for Orders option. Spark Shipping saves each order's FFL number in the order's User Field 1 and the licence expiration date in User Field 2. With this option on, it looks up the complete FFL number from GunBroker instead of the shortened one. Some vendors, such as Sports South, need the complete number.

If GunBroker blocks your account

If GunBroker blocks your seller account, a red banner at the top of Spark Shipping says the site is blocked by GunBroker, followed by GunBroker's own message. Contact GunBroker to resolve it.
