Automate Order Download and Tracking Upload

You can automate the process of order download and tracking upload by following the below steps:

1. Go to Settings > Companies > Manage Companies > Open the company.
2. Click Toolbox > Fingerhut  > General Settings.
3. Click Edit and select the Enable Order Download and the Enable Order Fulfillment Upload checkboxes. Orders will be imported into Sellercloud approximately every 30 minutes.
4. The tracking information and ship dates will automatically be sent to update the orders’ status on the channel in the next feed.

Additional Settings

• Enable Invoice Upload (810) – Enables automatic invoice upload for each shipped order from your Sellercloud account to Fingerhut.
• Enable Order Functional Acknowledgement (997) – Informs Fingerhut that the order file has been received.
• Enable Order Acknowledgement Accept (855) – Informs Fingerhut that the order file has been accepted.
• Enable Order Acknowledgement Release (855) – Informs Fingerhut that the order file is being processed.
• Delete FTP Files After Processing – This option is only applicable to FTP or SFTP connections. If incoming files are not cleared on the FTP server, it may cause retrieval timeouts. To avoid FTP clutter, enable this option. We strongly recommend checking this box only after testing the order download.
• Requires Third Party Shipping – Enforces the use of a 3rd party account for Fingerhut orders.

In the same panel, you can also activate the Enable Inventory Upload (846) setting to update Fingerhut-enabled listings automatically. Learn more about Fingerhut listings management here.
