How are Orders for Kit Products Downloaded from Shopify to HotWax Commerce?

HotWax Commerce imports orders for kit products from Shopify through the Import Orders job.

When HotWax imports an order, the first step is to check how many items are included in the order. For each item, HotWax retrieves its associated product ID.

These product IDs are predefined in HotWax Commerce and mapped to specific product types. For example:

Product ID	Product Type
1001	FINISHED GOOD
2010	MARKETING_PKG_PICK

Once the product ID is identified, HotWax associates it with the right product in its system. If the product type is identified as MARKETING_PKG_PICK, the order is recognized as a Kit Order.

Kit Order Brokering

After identifying the product type as MARKETING_PKG_PICK, HotWax Commerce directly brokers the entire kit order to the facility where the inventory is available rather than brokering each component separately.
