โš ๏ธ Mistakes to Avoid โ€‹

  • Forgetting to set up integration โ€“ without an active integration, the tab won't appear.
  • Duplicate imports โ€“ check that automatic sync isn't importing orders that already exist. The system deduplicates, but it's worth verifying.
  • Managing two orders simultaneously โ€“ recommended that each employee works on one order at a time.
  • Finishing collection without confirming โ€“ a closed order cannot be reopened easily; make sure all items are collected before closing.
