Order Attribute Update (Import)
Connection Limits:
Order Attributes Update is only available to Dropbox, FTP, SFTP, and SSH Connections
The Order Attribute Update template will import a CSV file to set the Order Attribute values specified in your mapper.
This enables you to sync Order Attributes between systems, set custom data on your Orders after submission, and more!
Your Order Attributes' values can be set by this importer when they are not visible in the Admin.
In the Field Mapping section there will be one required column called Order Lookup. Your Order Number will be used to find the order to update.
- Set the CSV Column name to match the column header of the file being imported.
- Map the Order Attributes which will be updated by this importer.
You can map any type of attribute by searching for them in the Zoey Value drop-down menu.
