Providing a CSV order file to Sendcloud
Providing a CSV order file to Sendcloud
Sendcloud imports order data using a CSV file uploaded within your Sendcloud account. The required fields and column structure are defined by Sendcloud.
To export your orders from ShopWired:
- Navigate to Orders
- Use the export option to download your orders as a CSV file
- Save the CSV file to your computer
The exported CSV file can then be uploaded to Sendcloud.
If required, column mapping must be configured within Sendcloud to match ShopWired’s CSV structure to Sendcloud’s required fields. Sendcloud requires mandatory fields such as customer name, country code, postal code, street name, house number and city to be mapped before orders can be created.
After the file is uploaded and successfully mapped, the orders will appear within your Sendcloud account ready for label creation.
