      3. Specific requirements

      Store IDS

      By leaving this field empty, all your stores' orders will be imported in a unique Magento folder on ShippyPro.

      If you'd like to differentiate your stores in multiple folders in To Ship section, add a new Magento connection for all of them including the specific Store ID of each one as well as a Customized Label in order to recognized them.

       

      Filter by Status 

      You can decide which orders you'd like to import on ShippyPro. Select all the statuses you'd like to include by pressing on ctrl (Windows) or cmd (iOS) while clicking on a specific status, like this:

      If you would like to import custom statuses currently not present in the Magento module, Upgrade your plan to Annual and reach out to our > Customer Support Team, we'll be happy to assist you!

       

      Filter by State 

      Here the most common status assigned to orders on Magento 1:

      • New: The order hasn't been shipped yet and doesn't have an invoice. 

      • Processing: The order has an invoice but hasn't been shipped yet.

      • Pending Payment: The order has been shipped and the invoice created. 

      If, for example, you'd like to import all new orders in Magento 1, you'll need to select New both in Filter by Status and Filter by State.

       

      We don't take into consideration the payment method when importing the orders, only the order status!

       

      • Through Import orders from the last "n" days you'll be able to select from when start to import your orders:

      Please keep in mind that this is optional, if not specified we'll import the orders from the last 28 days.


      • Update my Magento profile with shipped orders tracking numbers and mark as shipped

      • Use WS-I compliance - this option allows you to make some extra checks on your API calls by first enabling your Webservice on Magento as WS-I Compliant.

      • Url rewrite Disabled

      • Custom url

      • Exclude external orders - allows you to exclude Amazon or eBay orders you have inside Magento.
