Order import

  • Ordoro imports orders in the Processing status. See this article for more information.
  • If orders do not import, you may need to reset the Volusion order export date.
  • You can import custom fields from Ordoro. This help article lists step-by-step instructions.
  • The Requested Shipping Method name is saved as a numeric value in Ordoro. The number is Volusion’s mapped ID saved to Ordoro.
    • How to solve this:
    • In Ordoro, create tags for each Shipping Method in Volusion.
    • Set up Automation Rules to map the Volusion’s Shipping Method ID to Ordoro’s Requested Shipping Method.
    • If you need assistance, please reach out to Ordoro Support.

Product import

  • Upon first connection, Ordoro will import products from the Volusion cart.
  • Be sure to enable the Product autosync to import newly created products after the initial import.
  • Ordoro is unable to import Volusion product dimensions and categories at this time.

Product variations

  • In Volusion, when a variation is created, they appear on the parent SKU’s Inventory Control Grid.
  • When updating variations in Volusion, it’s best to make the changes on the variation’s product page vs. the parent SKU’s Inventory Control Grid.

Tracking writeback

  • When an order is shipped in Ordoro, we will send back the tracking number. The shipping method is not sent.
  • For split orders in Ordoro, when part of the order is shipped, Volusion marks the whole order as shipped vs. partially shipped. However, Volusion will record a second, third, etc., tracking number for the remaining products on the order.
  • For example:
    • An order imports to Ordoro with three line items.
    • The order is split in Ordoro into two separate orders.
      • Order A: one product
      • Order B: two products
    • Order A is shipped.
      • Ordoro sends the tracking to Volusion, and Volusion marks the order as shipped, even though there are two remaining line items to ship.
    • Order B is shipped.
      • Ordoro sends the tracking to Volusion, and Volusion saves the second tracking number.
