For optimal results, we recommend sending order data after the order has been shipped. This timing ensures that all costs, discounts, taxes, and other order details are finalized, minimizing the risk of errors or incomplete data entries.
Alternative Approach for Real-Time Needs
If your business requires faster data updates, you can also submit order data as soon as the order is received and update it later with finalized details. This method allows you to:
Ensure timely data flow for near-real-time reporting.
Add or correct key details such as shipping status, final costs, or discounts once confirmed.
Which Method Should You Choose?
Post-shipment data submission is ideal for ensuring data accuracy and minimizing updates.
Early data submission with updates is useful for businesses that require faster insights or real-time data integration.
