You can automate the process of order downloads and tracking uploads by following these steps:

  2. Click Toolbox and select Target > General Settings.
  3. Click Edit.
  4. In the Target General Settings panel, check the following settings:
    1. Enable Order Download (850).
    2. Enable Order Fulfillment Upload (856).
  5. Click Save. Orders will be imported into Sellercloud every 30 minutes. In the next feed, we will automatically send tracking and shipping dates to update the order status on Target.
You can also manually Import Target Orders via a File. To do this, you must first obtain the necessary EDI 850 file directly from Target.

  • Import Orders As UnPaid – When enabled, all Target Orders will be imported with Payment Status: Unpaid.


Shipping Method Mapping

The Shipping Method Mapping tool allows you to customize shipping for each channel integrated with your account. Using this tool, you can map the shipping methods sent for each Target order to a preferred shipping carrier and service. 

To ensure the correct shipping method is applied for each order, you need to enter the shipping code for each respective shipping service. When orders are imported into Sellercloud, the shipping method chosen by the customer will also be imported.

To configure shipping method mapping for Target:

  1. Go to Company Settings.
  2. Click Toolbox and select Channels > Target > Shipping Method Mapping.
  3. Click Edit and choose your desired shipping method option from the Shipping Method dropdown menu.
  4. Check the Rush Service setting if orders using this shipping method should be marked as Rush Orders.
  5. Click Save.

Target Locations

If you have more than one Target Location, each must be mapped to a corresponding warehouse in Sellercloud. This mapping will determine which warehouse’s available inventory is sent to which location and prevent errors when updating inventory or tracking information.

Manage Target Orders

You can only cancel a Target order before it is marked Ship Confirmed. If it is already Ship Confirmed, you must issue a refund. If the item is being returned to your warehouse, use the RMA workflow instead.

Cancellations and refunds of Target orders must be managed on the Target website. The below actions only cancel/refund the orders internally in Sellercloud.

Cancel an Order

To cancel a Target order internally:

  1. Go to the Order Details Page.
  2. Click Actions and select Set Cancelled Internally.
  3. Enter Comments and click Save.

Refund an Order

Prior to issuing a refund, a partial or full payment will be required. To internally set the Order as Refunded:

  1. Navigate to Orders Manage Orders > Select an Order.
  2. On the Order Details page, go to Actions Issue Refund.
  3. Fill out the Refund details:
    1. Operation Type
    2. Amount to Refund
    3. Refund Date 
    4. Notes
  4. Click Refund.
If you are issuing a partial or even a full refund while still planning to ship the items, select the Add Refund Amount As Discount To Order checkbox to apply the refund amount as a discount to the order instead. This action will initiate an internal cash refund that will not be sent to the channel and will offset the outstanding dues by the specified amount.

Configure PDF Invoices

PDF Invoices usually contain information about your orders and the products they include. You can print Invoices with any specific requirements if needed. You can choose Standard Invoice, Channel Specific, Word to PDF, or a Plugin.

  1. Go to Company Settings.
  2. Click Toolbox and select Invoice Settings.
  3. Click Per Channel Preferences.
  4. Locate Target in the list and select your preference.
  5. Click Save.
