To get started with One Stop Order Processing, you will need to create the imports for your selling channels. There are two different methods when creating an import, you can either manually import the orders or for eBay and Amazon, or set up an automated import (Professional required).
The manual import consists of the user downloading an order file from the selling channel. This file can then be used in One Stop Order Processing to be imported so you can view all the order details. You can create various imports for your different selling channels so you can view all orders in one area.
The automated import works with eBay and Amazon and allows you to link your account to One Stop Order Processing. This allows you to create a scheduler in One Stop Order Processing so you can set a time when you would like the orders to be automatically imported without you having to do anything. This cuts out the time of downloading the file from your Amazon/eBay account and importing it, allowing you to import them whenever suits you best with the Automation for One Stop Order Processing.
The selling channels that we support are:
