How often you import can depending on a variety of different things, for example, when your orders need to be sent to the courier and how many orders you get daily.

How to choose when your automatic import rules-

Once you have created an import you can use the One Stop Order Processing Scheduler to determine if you would like your orders to be imported at a specific time, if you would like it to be set to run after specific intervals, run on specific days, etc.

To use the automatic scheduler, you will first need to set up a task action that allows your orders to be imported, for details on how to do this, click here.
