Integrating with Zulily
If you have integrated a website with Sellercloud (other than a Magento website), create a separate company for Zulily. This is because, with a particular Zulily plugin, orders will import as Website orders, so you will want to separate them from your regular Website. However, orders can be imported as other than Website using the custom column Zulily_ImportOrders_AsChannel_ID. This setting is only available when using the Order Import Plugin: DBA Zulily Order Import.
You do not need to create shadows, as inventory is not updated from Sellercloud with inventory feeds.
