Overview
For the majority of sales channels, Sellercloud downloads orders automatically on a regular basis. However, in some cases, you may have to manually download orders from a channel.
This option is most commonly used during the initial setup of a channel integration or as a regular way to import orders for an integration where you can’t download orders automatically. It can also be a helpful backup option if something prevents the default automatic order download. Another potential use is resolving an issue with a specific order – you can delete the order and then re-download it.
This article guides you step-by-step through the process of downloading orders from the following channels:
- eBay
- Amazon (including FBA)
- Magento
- Overstock
- Sears
- Newegg.com
- 3D Cart
- Website plugin
- Shopify
- Bonanza
- Walmart Marketplace (including WFS)
- Back Market
- Wish
- Lightspeed
Download Channel Orders
To manually download orders from a specific channel to Sellercloud:
- Go to Orders > Tools > Download Orders from Channel.
- Select the channel to download from.
- Configure the download by selecting the Company to download orders to, the Date Range with orders to import, and any other options, if available.
When downloading orders from Amazon, make sure to stay within a time frame of one month. If you need orders from a more extended period, split your requests into one-month segments. This guideline doesn’t apply to other channels, but as a general rule of thumb, you should avoid downloading orders for extended periods all at once. - Click Download.
- Sellercloud creates a Queued Job. Click the link in the notification at the bottom of the page to view the queued job. Note that the orders may not be visible right away.
