Creating Shopify development stores – Part 3
When
an order is imported from Shopify, the information about the customer is
essential for further processing the document in Business Central. There are
two main options and their combinations:
·
Use a special customer
for all orders.
·
Import the actual
customer information from Shopify.
How the connector chooses which customer to use?
1. If the Default Customer No. field
is defined in the Shopify Customer Template for the
corresponding country, then the Default Customer No. is used,
regardless of the settings in the Customer Import From Shopify and Customer
Mapping Type fields.
2. If the Customer Import From Shopify is
set to None and the Default Customer No. is
defined in the Shopify Shop Card, then the Default Customer
No. is used.
The
next steps depend on the Customer Mapping Type.
·
Always
take the default customer,
then the connector uses the customer defined in the Default Customer
No. field in the Shopify Shop Card page.
· By EMail/Phone, the connector tries to find the existing customer by ID first, then by email, and then by phone. If the customer isn't found - the connector creates a new customer.
·
By
Info, the connector tries
to find the existing customer by ID first and then by the address information.
If not found - the connector creates a new customer.
I am going to use the below settings to map customer
by Email/Phone and Auto create customer if not found.
Set the import of orders on the Shopify Shop Card
A regular Shopify order can have extra amounts on top, such as shipping charges or, if enabled, tips. These amounts will be posted directly to the G/L accounts. Choose the G/L account that should be used for specific transactions:
·
Shipping
Cost Account
·
Sold
Gift Card Account
·
Tip
