Order Files

• You have the option of having AOB receive orders from your custom site. Look for the Pull Orders option just above the Active/Inactive radio button.  
• An order file named 'open_orders.txt should be placed in an orders subdirectory in your FTP account.
  • Please note that if the Custom FTP Directory is specified, that directory is where AoB will place and look for all communications between our service and the one being set up.  This will include Inventory, order, and confirmation communications.
• The order file should be a tab-delimited text file (one order item per line) with the following fields (case-sensitive).
