Form Field Description
URL to custom CML Page This is the location of your Web Endpoint. HTTPS is recommended.
Unpaid Status This is the name of the status in your system that indicates an order is not yet paid for and not yet ready to be shipped.
Multiple statuses may be separated by a comma.
Paid Status This is the name of the status in your system that indicates an order is paid and ready to ship.
Shipped Status This is the name of the status in your system that indicates an order is shipped.
Cancelled Status This is the name of the status in your system that indicates an order is cancelled.
