Base Columns

Column Allowed Values Description / Example Value
ID Number ID is automatically generated number by Shopify to identify the item.
It is filled in by an Export.
When creating new Orders, leave this value empty.

11920047631
Name Text Name of the Order.

Shopify allows several orders to have the same name, however, the app uses the Name as the “key” to identify the existing order. So it works in a similar way as Handle for Products.

When you are importing an order with the same Name that already exists in your store, then the app will try to update or replace it.

When migrating orders from one Shopify store to another, this Name field is the only way to tell that the order is the same as in the other store.

To be safe, be sure to have your Order names unique when importing.

Cannot be updated, can be only set when creating a new order or replacing one.

Command
  • NEW
  • UPDATE
  • REPLACE
  • DELETE
 When importing Order, it tells the app, what to do with it.

  • NEW: will try to create a new Order with the provided details. If such Order will already exist (with the same ID or same Name), then Order creation will fail.
  • UPDATE: not yet implemented, so existing Orders cannot be updated yet. To change existing Order for now, please, use the REPLACE command.
  • REPLACE: at first, if such Order with provided ID or Name exists, then the app will delete it. After that, it will create a new one. If an existing Order will not be found, then still the app will create a new Order.
  • DELETE: the app will delete the existing Order, which is found by ID or Name. If such order will not be found, then this order import will fail. This DELETE command can be very handy, when Orders need to be deleted in bulk, or when such orders need to be deleted, which cannot be deleted through the Shopify Admin.
REPLACE

Exported only. When importing, Shopify will automatically increment it.

Transaction Columns

Column Allowed Values Description / Example Value
Transaction: ID Number The ID of the transaction, generated by Shopify. Only exported.

Transaction: Kind
  • authorization
  • sale
  • capture
  • refund
  • void
  • authorization: represents an amount reserved against the cardholder’s funding source. Money does not change hands until an authorization is captured by “capture” transaction. There can be only one authorization transaction per Order.
  • capture: transfer of the money that was reserved during the authorization stage. There can be several capture transactions per order, until they reach the total sum of authorization transaction.
  • sale: an authorization and capture performed together in a single step, usually by pressing the “Paid” button in the Shopify Admin. In this case there will be no associated card transaction. There can be only one sale transaction per Order.
  • refund: a partial or full return of captured funds. A refund can only happen after a capture or sale transaction, and cannot exceed their amount. There can be several refund transactions – one per Refund.
  • void: cancellation of a transaction.
Transaction: Created At Date & Time Date and time when the transaction was created. Only exported.

When importing, the transaction will be dated at the moment when it is being imported.

Transaction: Amount Currency The transaction amount.

For the capture transactions, the amount can be less than authorization amount, so there can be several capture transactions.

For refund transactions the transaction amount can be different from the line items total amount being refunded, because sometimes there can be non-full refunds, or refunds that are bigger than the cost of line items.
Transaction: Currency Corrency code in ISO 4217 format The currency of the transaction.

Since the Shopify store can operate in just one currency, it’s best to have the transaction currency the same as the Order currency, and as the Store default currency. Shopify doesn’t do any currency conversions.

Good To Know

  • You can only create new or replace existing Orders (by putting the same Name). At the moment you cannot yet update data of existing orders.
  • To import several line items to Order, just repeat the row with the same ID or Name.
  • When importing Orders from scratch, start by the minimal fields, and grow it up from there, using the REPLACE command.
  • Minimal fields are the Name and Line Item Title and Price.
