4. FAQs

Some of your orders are not being imported?

In case some of your orders are not being imported you can try to:

  • Update order status again by clicking on Update inside Order Details.

  • Update the order even if it already has the same status and wait 15/20 minutes.

  • See if then it gets imported.

In case you connect your WooCommerce this way, please note that you'll be able to import your orders up to three months before as time filter can not be bypassed.

5. Some useful tips

  • ShippyPro won't import orders older than 90 days.

  • For all the orders received previously the connection to ShippyPro it won't be possible to import product's images and details such as the SKU and the quantity.

  • Also, if you employ third party plugin, order's data may not be imported or be imported incorrect.

  • Please note that Woocommerce status can only updated once, for this reason we suggest you not to update it directly on the Marketplace but wait for it to be done from ShippyPro.

  • Our integration does support CSCart Multivendor.

  • In case you noticed that ShippyPro imported a different order number than the one present in your WooCommerce, it might be possible that you have a plugin that changes your Order IDs. Indeed, we only import the original Order IDs from WooCommerce, and that's why the number displayed is different.

  • Are you displaying the wrong image for your products inside ShippyPro? In case you have different products, you'd need that each product has a different SKU: otherwise in case of repeated SKUs and different image, only the first image will be displayed for each one.

  • Do you get Missing params app_name error? In this case proceed to contact your technician to add it inside your WooCommerce account.

  • Do you still see WooCommerce tabs in the To Ship section after deleting the connection?
    Not to worry, this happens because the connection is not yet deleted on our side.
    A cron will periodically check and delete the connection (approximately every 10 minutes)
