Which fields or features can be enabled with Vendor Portals?

What information is passed along with other adjustable features gives you all the flexibility you need! The purpose of this help article is to provide a comprehensive list of the various fields and features that can be enabled for your specific Vendor Portal workflow.

    • The initial user setup with the Vendor Portal account will be an admin and will be able to access the following:

      • Analytics
      • General Settings
      • Admin Settings

  3. Update Tracking
    • This is the mechanism that writes tracking back to the Merchant account. From there, the tracking will writeback to the cart from which the order originated.
  4. Use product name from the cart where the order originated
    • Products get created in the Supplier account as they import on new orders.
    • The product name will default to how the item was sold on the originating sales channel.
  5. Split orders
    • If an unshipped order is split in the Supplier account, it will also get split in the Merchant account.

Optional features

The list below contains the optional features that can be adjusted per request. Email support@ordoro.com to find out more.

  1. Autosync Tasks

      • Additional intervals: daily, six-hours, 10-minutes.

    • When enabled, if an order is unshipped in the Merchant account and gets canceled, it will also cancel in the Supplier account.
    • Read more about this feature here.
  3. Use product name saved in Supplier account
    • Unlike point 4 above in the Default features section, we can adjust the Supplier account to populate orders with the product name as it is saved in Supplier account.
    • This is helpful when the Supplier recognizes a product by a different name, rather than how it was sold on the Merchant’s website.
  4. Notify Bill To / Ship To
    • When enabled, the supplier can use this feature while creating shipping labels to send a white-labeled email notification to the Bill To and/or Ship To email address on the order.
