If you use JOOR, Brandboom or other wholesale ordering platforms, you can easily import your orders into ShowroomHQ via a .CSV spreadsheet file.

There are 4 steps in the import process: Upload, Verify, Preview, and Import

Click on the image play tutorial or to view it full screen.

Step 1: Upload

  1. From Orders click on "Actions" drop menu > "Import Orders"

  2. Choose your data file that you have exported from the other system

  3. Select the brand you will be adding the orders to

  4. Advanced Options: Note the "Duplicate Records" - select whether you wish any duplicates to be "skipped", "duplicated", or "overwritten"

  5. Click "Upload" when complete

Step 2: Verify

This is where you will need to map out your import file. If you use the ShowroomHQ Order Import template, the fields will match accordingly. Scroll down for template download.

Note that not all of the fields are required. The ones that are required are highlighted below *

Order Details

  • Order Number *

  • Customer *

  • Location *

  • Currency

  • Sales rep

  • Source

  • Description

Season

  • Season *

  • Year *

Order Dates

  • Order Date

  • Ship Date

  • Cancel Date

Totals/Units

  • Units booked

  • Units shipped

  • Units cancelled

  • Total booked *

  • Total shipped

  • Total cancelled

Click "Next" when finished mapping out your fields.


Step 3: Preview

This page will allow you to preview your import before actually importing your orders into the system. Here you will see any errors that occurred in the mapping process and if you need to go back to change anything. These will be highlighted with "Error" to show you where the change needs to happen.

A couple examples of issues that could occur:

  • Incomplete email addresses

  • Incorrect data mapped ie; an email address in a phone number field

  • Missing data ie; customer name, order number

If there are no issues in the preview and you are ready to import your orders click "Next". A loading page should appear while you wait for the import.

Step 4: Import

Once the import has been completed, this page will tell you how many orders have been imported, and ones that may have been skipped. You will have the option to download an error report for all of the ones that were skipped. This is nice to download to see where the error occurred and gives you the opportunity to fix those and re-import the missed ones.

Deleting Bulk Import


If you have made a mistake, or want to remove an import, do not make any changes to any of the records that you have just imported. If you do, the system may not allow a proper reversal of the import.

You can bulk delete an import by following the below steps:

  1. Go to Company Settings

  2. Import > Select the import that you wish to remove

  3. Click "Delete records"
