Panel

Image Removed

Create Magento Order When - determines the conditions which should be met to create a Magento order. You can select from:

  • Immediate - means that the Magneto Order should be created once the eBay order was imported.
  • Checkout is Completed - means that the Magento Order should be created once the Buyer completed the Checkout.
  • Payment is Received - means that the Magento Order should be created once the purchase was Paid.
  • Checkout is Completed, Payment is Received - means that the Magento order should be created once the Buyer completed the Checkout and Paid the purchase.

If you set to create the Magento Orders Immediately, the Automatic Cancellation option becomes available.

Image Removed

In case you enable this option and set the period of Cancellation, Magento Orders, which were not paid in a definite time interval, will be cancelled automatically. Unpaid Item Process will be launched for such orders on eBay, corresponding eBay orders will be deleted from M2E ProMagento Customer details will be updated appropriately if the received billing and shipping addresses, region id, Middle Name/Initial mismatch existing Magento data. This will help to keep your Customer information accurate.

...

Billing Address Usage – select the appropriate option of how to handle the billing address for the imported Customer:

  • Always - the shipping address is always used as the billing address.

  • Buyer & Recipient have the same name - the shipping address is used as the billing address only when Buyer's name and Recipient's name are the same. Otherwise, billing address fields will be empty and this message will appear in the city field: "eBay does not supply complete billing Buyer information".

Order Creation Rules

...

  • Checkout Is Completed – use the option to create Magento order after a buyer complete checkout on eBay.

  • Payment Is Received – use the option to create Magento order only after a buyer complete checkout and make a payment on eBay.

Tip

Use Quantity Reservation feature to automatically reserve Magento Product quantity per your eBay order until Magento Order Creation Rules are met.

On the other hand, if any other option is selected for Create Magento Order When

...

functions, the Reserve Quantity option becomes available.

...

This option reduces the Magento Product Inventory immediately when the eBay sale occurs in the marketplace and creates a "reserve" inventory that will be used when the Magento order is created upon payment. If the Order does not complete (receive payment) within your "reserve period" then the order is canceled and the inventory is put back into the Magento Product.

Why? The time between an eBay purchase and the payment for that purchase can create inventory issues.
To remedy this, use this option to prevent an item in your Magento from being sold after eBay sells your last one (i.e.: before the Magento order for that sale is created upon payment).

Note

The reservation is required if Magento Order creation is enabled. The '1 Day' term is provided by default.

Note

M2E Pro will reserve the Item Quantity only if both 'Manage Stock' and 'Decrease Stock When Order is Placed' options are enabled in your Magento under the Stores > Settings > Configuration > Catalog > Inventory:
