Can my orders automatically export when the stock arrives?Updated 2 days ago

Yes!

Head to the Settings tab on the left-hand side dashboard and click Operations

Scroll down to the section titled Automation.

You have a few configurations to choose from for how Purple Dot sets up Automation: 

Automation is on: Decrement inventory

When Purple Dot sees inventory arrive in Shopify, it will automatically export the pre-orders to Shopify, and the inventory numbers in Shopify will be adjusted down accordingly. 

You can then decide with your automation how you'd like to export, whether you'd like to only export the full order or to split up the order with partial exports as individual items become available. 

Lastly, you choose when you'd like to export-- whether that is when the stock arrives or at specific times.
