Manual Sync Orders

In case an order is placed on the admin’s store and is not synced with the seller’s Shopify store then, then seller can sync the order manually from the seller panel.

To sync the order manually, the seller need to visit the Multi-vendor Seller Panel>>Go to Orders>>View Order>>On Order Detail Page-In More Action-Click Sync Order button.

This way, orders can be synced manually with the seller Shopify store connector.

If the seller has disabled the Auto Sync New Products Tab:-

Once the seller makes any changes in the products on his/her Shopify store, he/she will get info on the multi-vendor seller dashboard to update all products.

In the manual update, Clicking the “Update Product” button, the product will be in the “Processing” state.

Once processed, the product will get unlisted from this section.

Now, before the sellers start importing products from their respective Shopify stores into the app, please ask your sellers to firstly, Import Products.

Using this configuration Sellers can import their products by creating a unique sales channel especially for the Admin Store which is not available on their own online store.

The seller can create a custom app and provide certain permission which you find below that would convert the custom app into a Sales channel that they can select for their product. Please refer to the images below for a better understanding.

Sellers can add Products only for the Admin marketplace which will only be available on the Sales channel created by the Seller and connected via the seller panel.

Note: Once Seller enables this configuration they won’t be able to disable it.

To Add the product Please make sure the Product is added to the sales channel app that the Seller created as shown below otherwise it won’t be imported or synced.

Seller will have three methods to import products:-

Method 1:- Choose a Date Range & import products.

2nd Method:- Import products by comma-separated product IDs.

Method 3:- Import products by product handle.

This way, sellers can import products to the admin’s store.

Thus, all the products imported by the seller will be visible in the “Product Listing” section of his/her seller panel.

In case the order created in the app, not synced with the seller’s Shopify store then, the seller can manually create an order on his/her Shopify store.

For this, the seller will visit the seller panel>>Order>>Edit Order>>Click the “Sync Order” button in the More Action menu.
