April 26, 2019

Version: v3.35

Upgrades:
- Core Platform:
  - Bulk orders - support for actions to create, update and archive orders has been added to the bulk processor. Similar to product uploads, CSV files with an action in the first column and identifier (either oid or order) in the second column will create or update all order fields provided in the file. Files that do not have an action in the first column will default to update. To support multiple shipments, refunds, or order items in a single row provide headers that correlate to the object index that is to be updated, for example to update the second order item quantity provide itemid2 and quantity2 headers in the file. Furthermore, support for deleting order items, shipments and refunds is available by setting the action to delete and identifier to itemid, shipid or refundid to delete order items, shipments and refunds respectively. Mark orders shipped on marketplaces by setting headers and values for shipments (shiptracking, shipcarrier and shipdate minimum) along with shippingstatus set to COMPLETE.
    
    Example CSV bulk order header layouts provided below:
    
    action=create,oid,total,itemtotal,taxtotal,sku,quantity,price,customfield ,sku2,price2,customfield2,shippingfirstname,shippinglastname
    
    action=update,order,shippingstatus=COMPLETE,shiptracking,shipcarrier,shipdate=NOW ,shiptracking2,shipcarrier2,shipdate2=NOW
    
    action,shipid
    delete,123
    
    action=update,oid,internalnotes
    
    Along with all these upgrades, the legacy shipping CSV upload is being deprecated June 1st, 2019
- eBay:
  - Business policies shipping type - domesticShippingType and intlShippingType are now saved under ShippingPolicyProfile along with the profileName and profileId to enable better validation logic via the API.
  - Retries for item imports - due to the increased number of Internal Error responses from the eBay API, retry logic has been added to GetItem calls for import of eBay listings that encounter this error.
  - Clear Item ID toggle - due to issues experienced with eBay API GetSellerList calls, a toggle for disabling the clear inactive Item ID job has been implemented.
- Automation Engine:
  - Trigger support for job based systems - support for asynchronous integrations that return a request identifier that must be checked later via connection.triggers is now available. This functionality may accommodate use cases such as a job request that returns a payload to download on import or status confirmation for product listing payloads on export.

  - Issue addressed around edge case of incorrectly formatting the Google offerId as number instead of a string.
