Create and Use Vendor Templates

For multiple vendors that have the same order delivery, shipment feed, or inventory feed preferences, vendor templates can be utilized in Duoplane to save time when setting up new vendor accounts. A common use case for this is when vendors send shipment information via FedEx or UPS or require similar CSV order files to be sent to them.

This article will show you how to create and use vendor templates.
