Sending Orders to Infoplus
Inventory Item Details
Overview
Order Desk can send orders directly to Infoplus then pull shipment details back into your orders here and send them to your shopping carts, if applicable.
This guide covers the setup, settings and special features with the Infoplus integration.
Setup
To enable the integration, click on the Manage Integrations link in the Integrations menu in the left sidebar. Under the Fulfillment tab, find and enable Infoplus.
Alternatively, search for Infoplus from the available integration search.
In the integration page, add your Infoplus credentials to connect.
Please note that Order Desk isn’t able to help find or reset your credentials, as they can only be provided by Infoplus.
Integration Settings
After Import, Move To
Select the folder orders should be moved to after they are sent to Infoplus from Order Desk. Typically this is set to Prepared, but any custom folder can be used.
After Shipment, Move To
Select the folder orders should be moved to when Infoplus sends tracking details back to Order Desk.
Carrier ID
Enter the ID of the default carrier you'll be using.
Product Code Match
Product Code Match
If the SKUs in your shopping cart don't match the SKUs Infoplus has for your products, you can match them to each other here. More information on how to set this up can be found in the product code match guide.
To create bundles, refer to the product code match bundles section of the guide.
Product Code Skip
To prevent certain SKUs from being sent to Infoplus, add them to the product code skip field. Any items included here will not be sent through with your orders. Add one SKU per line.
Inventory Location Match
If you only want to send certain items to Infoplus, you can set the inventory location name from the item in this field. Orders with items that don't have an exact match will not be submitted.
To avoid confusion about which items in which orders are being sent for fulfillment, it is generally better to split orders than to use this field. If you do choose to use this field, please be careful that your inventory location names match exactly.
