Import Order Updates to Shopify

This task will update certain information on existing orders in your Shopify store using data in an XML file.

Important

This task uses Shopify's REST API, which is now deprecated. We recommend migrating to the equivalent GraphQL API task. See here for more information.

Input File

Success File

Prevent Reprocessing

Required
Optionally prevent reprocessing the same records by providing an <external_id> in the XML you provide.

The length of time to wait (in seconds) for Shopify to respond to each API request. If left blank, or set to 0 or less, a default value of 100 seconds will be applied.
