Add a Conditional Order Note for a Vendor

Duoplane Retailer accounts
Available on Professional, Premium, and Enterprise plans

There might be times when you want to send a message on a purchase order to only one vendor, or a subset or vendors. You can use the PO Footer field to setup Liquid logic that allows you to send conditional order notes to a vendor on POs. Below are the scenarios for PO footnotes that you might want to setup.

First, you’ll want to get obtain the vendor ID, or IDs, of the vendors you will be setting up messages for. To find this, you can locate the vendor in Duoplane and click on the URL when you are on the vendor’s page. The ID can be found at the end of the URL. In this example, the vendor ID is 81288.

Next, you’ll navigate to the Purchase Order Footnote Template

The template is located in Main Menu > Settings > Templates near the top where it says General "Purchase order footnote"

The page will look similar to the below, with code inserted; otherwise by default it might appear blank.
