Introduction

A prominent Australian importer and distributor of high-quality Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sought to enhance their e-commerce operations to better serve their retail partners and consumers.

2. Default Customer Designation Option

  • Incorporated the “Set MYOB Default Customer Designation” option, enabling merchants to prioritize customer names for order synchronization.
  • This customization aligned with the client’s commitment to delivering exceptional products, ensuring accuracy and reliability in their e-commerce operations.

3. Handling Duplicate Customer Names

  • Implemented a solution wherein the plugin intelligently prioritizes the first match and synchronizes orders accordingly.
  • This feature minimized discrepancies and ensured consistency in order management, reinforcing the client’s reputation for reliability and efficiency.
