If you receive and process several orders per day from us, we offer you the option to transfer your shipment data to our system at regular intervals.
You can set up the automatic shipment data import in the shop backend under Imports & Exports - Shipment Data or import the shipment data manually. Please read the instructions for this in detail. You can find them in the attachment below this article.
To automatically transfer shipment data to our system on a regular basis, you can specify a URL (webhook) in step 5 of the shipment data import, where the file with the shipment data is stored and continuously updated by you (according to the import interval). See also: How can I make my files available for automatic import?
You can define the interval at which our system accesses the file and imports the shipment data. The synchronization can be performed daily, every 6 hours, hourly or every 15 minutes.
The shipment data import file must contain the following three columns:
- Order number (8-digit Avocadostore order number).
- Shipment number
- Shipping service provider
At the end of this article you will find a sample file for this.
After the import, the orders are automatically set to the status "shipped" and an email informs the customers about the shipping status.
