Raising orders

In order for Stock2Shop to receive orders from Takealot Marketplace, the orders webhook needs to be enabled. A Stock2Shop technician will take you through the steps of adding the URL to the webhook that has been created in Takealot. Once the webhook has been setup and configured, Stock2Shop will start to receive orders from Takealot as they are being placed.
