Mark Exported Option
If you tick the option on the Mintsoft connect option to "mark exported" - it means that once orders have been exported they become no longer available via the API.
This includes exporting the order via the commerce interface panel.
- Orders will be imported into the system according to the delay. It may be required to set up alternative codes on products or bundles if the SKU's don't match the vendor SKUs in Groupon.
- Once orders are imported they then get marked as imported.
- Orders are then processed on the system as per any other channel
- When the order is marked as despatch the order is marked as shipped and tracking details are then provided back to Groupon with the ci-Lineitem_ids - There is no need to manually export and upload this. It is all done automatically once the order is dispatched in Mintsoft OMS.
