Importing Orders from Yahoo!Store via Real Time Order Link
YahooUseInternetImport - Set to True to use Import via Internet button on the Import Orders form. This option requires contact with Stone Edge Technologies, Inc. to enable this feature, whether through a hosting account or to acquire the software needed to support this option on your own servers.
Importing Custom Fields from Yahoo!Store
Click on the Custom Order Fields parameter group. This group contains 20 parameters:
CustomCurrencyFieldName1 through 5
CustomDateFieldName1 through 5
CustomNumericFieldName1 through 5
CustomTextFieldName1 through 5
Set the appropriate parameters to the field names used in your Yahoo!Store shopping cart. Note: The type of data you import dictates the custom fields you use. For example, if you collect a date from your customers, use one of the custom date fields. If you collect freeform text from your customers, use one of the custom text fields.
Click on the Custom parameter group and set ShowCustomSortFields to TRUE. Note: You may not see this system parameter because it is hidden in later versions of the Order Manager and set to True by default.
Real-time Inventory Tracking with Yahoo!Store
Select the Yahoo parameter group and set YahooUseInternetImport to True.
Select the parameter called YahooSKUSource. Since Yahoo!Store does not have a specific "SKU" (unique part number) field, you must indicate which Yahoo!Store field to use for the SKU: the Code or the ID. Select the field that you use as your unique product identifier.
See Using Order Options and Sub SKUs with Yahoo!Stores for more information about the system parameters required to use Sub SKUs with your Yahoo!Store shopping cart.
