Incoming Orders
Connectors over API

Order Details can be inspected in a detail view, which also allows for modification of the order. Invoice creation is a single click function thereafter.
CommerceCore™ automatically creates Delivery Notes, necessary later in this process for warehouse workers. Read more about Inventory processes here, or test the software.
A very useful feature of CommerceCore™ is the ability to correspond with the customer from within the context of the order.
CSV Imports
In addition to automatic order-imports from shops by API, it's possible to import orders by CSV files. If the CSV files carry a large number of columns, send us a sample anonymised order-file, and we'll advise on the possibilities of importing.
