Email Address Does Not Import

If you are having issues importing email addresses for Volusion orders, this may be a result of the email address not being accessible.

To resolve this:

  1. Select Import/Export in the Inventory drop-down menu on your Volusion Web Store Dashboard.

Repeat this process for each date in the drop-down. This will not delete any information.

Your Volusion orders should now import with the email address. If you continue to experience issues, please Contact Customer Support.

Reauthorize Your Volusion Store

Reauthorizing your Volusion connection can be useful when permissions need to be reestablished between Endicia and your Volusion store, such as when you receive an error when importing orders.

For security reasons, Volusion requires you to reauthorize your connection every 90 days.

To reauthorize a Volusion store:

  1. Select the store to reauthorize, then click Reconnect.
