Order Import – API processing and constraints gaps

The order import script runs automatically if all ideal conditions are met:


  • Order confirmed by Amazon
  • Payment approved



Common Exceptions


Some orders may not be imported immediately:


  • Amazon requests ID or documentation from the customer
  • FBA orders not shipped with express delivery (Amazon intentionally applies a delay)



About FBA Orders


  • The module also imports FBA orders
  • A 2-day observation window is applied, since Amazon may delay standard shipments



Cron Job Frequency


🚫 Do not increase cron job frequency:


  • It will not increase the number of imported orders
  • Amazon enforces API quotas – excessive requests can block imports


Recommended frequency: every hour



Problem: Missed Orders


  • API quotas prevent extending the observation window
  • Amazon’s processing delays may cause some orders to be skipped


βœ… Solution: configure fallback cron jobs




To capture orders missed in the initial import:


  • FBA Orders: add &recheck=1 to the import cron URL

β†’ Set up a separate daily cron job


  • Standard Orders (non-FBA): add &doublecheck=1

β†’ Set up a separate daily cron job
