When orders reach Dropday

In the plugin settings, Send orders on status sets the order status on which an order is sent to Dropday. With the default, Any paid status, the plugin sends an order as soon as it is paid, so an unpaid order arrives only once it's paid. The order normally appears in Dropday within seconds to a minute.

With the default, a paid order is sent on any status change, for example to On hold and back to Processing. This can also bring in an order that was placed before you connected the store. Dropday refuses an order it already has, so this doesn't create a duplicate.

Test, then go live

While live mode is off, the plugin sends orders to Dropday as test orders. Test orders are still emailed to suppliers, with "TEST EMAIL:" at the start of the subject. FTP Upload and API Call don't place test orders at the supplier.

To go live, turn on live mode in the plugin's settings.

Orders are also processed as test orders while your account's billing details are incomplete. Test your setup before going live explains how to check what your suppliers receive.

Check that orders come in

After an order in your store is paid, open Orders in Dropday and check that the order is in the list.

Tracking in your store

When a supplier ships an order, the plugin adds the shipment with its tracking to the WooCommerce order. This needs WooCommerce 10.1 or newer. Send tracking back to your webshop explains what the plugin adds.

Optional: send extra product data

The plugin settings also have order meta options: a whitelist of product meta fields, a purchase price meta and a delivery date meta. The plugin sends the product meta fields you list, for example a supplier code, with every order. It also sends a product's tags as order line labels.

Next, add a supplier; prepared connections are in Integrations.
