Overview
You can export orders from your Sellercloud account into files. This can be helpful for duplicating records or keeping physical records. Orders can be exported to multiple file types, including Excel and PDF. This article covers the different ways to export orders: using a General Format, using an Export Mapping Tool, or using a plugin.
Export Orders via General Format
You can export orders via General Format in two ways, depending on the output file you want.
Excel, Text, CSV
- Go to Orders > Manage Orders > Select orders > Action menu > Export Orders.
- A new window will pop up. From the Format drop-down, select General, and select a File Type.
- Optionally, check Mark Orders as Exported. This option is usually used when you need to track which orders were exported.
- Click Export to submit the job to the queue.
- Access the queued job. Once completed, click Download output file.
Microsoft Excel & Adobe PDF
- Go to Orders > Manage Orders > Select the orders > Click on the Action menu > Export > Adobe PDF.
- Access the queued job. Once completed, press Download output file.
Export Orders via Mapping Profile
To export Orders via the Mapping Profile Tool, you should create an Order profile type, from which you can export Excel, TAB Delimited, and CSV files. Read more about this in the Export Mapping Tool article.
To export orders via mapping profile:
- Go to Orders > Manage Orders > Select orders > Action menu > Export Orders.
- A new window will pop up. From the Format drop-down menu, select Profile.
- Optionally, check Mark Orders as Exported. This option is usually used when you need to track which orders were exported.
- Click Export to submit the job to the queue.
Export Orders via Plugin
There is no limit to the ways you can export orders from Sellercloud with the help of our customized plugins. A customized plugin represents a .net assembly that contains pre-defined rules on how to create an export file or apply certain actions to orders upon export. Such an assembly allows you to perform more complicated tasks such as splitting an order, changing warehouses, and more based on your desired conditions and actions. You can also manipulate the values and headers that are exported, allowing you to conform to any standard. Once such a plugin is written and compiled, it is placed in the plugins folder of your server. Whenever you want to export orders, you can select the new available format from the drop-down list.
To export orders with a plugin:
- Go to Orders > Manage Orders > Select orders > Action menu > Export Orders.
- A new window will pop up. From the Format drop-down menu, select the plugin.
- Optionally, check Mark Orders as Exported. This option is usually used when you need to track which orders were exported.
- Click Export to submit the job to the queue.
