Why are some of my Shopify customers created as "Guest" and others as regular contacts in PlentyONE?
This is related to the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the way the authenticity of customer data is transmitted from Shopify to PlentyONE. The system follows a clear logic to ensure data integrity:A regular contact is created/used when......Shopify can guarantee the uniqueness of the customer via a unique technical ID. In this case, a full customer account is created in PlentyONE. For subsequent orders from this customer, the new order is simply assigned to the already existing account.A guest contact is created when......Shopify cannot guarantee authenticity. Even if contact details such as name and address are identical to a previous order, for security and data protection reasons, a separate guest contact is created for this specific order.Tip: If needed, you can manually convert these guest accounts into regular contacts in your PlentyONE system afterwards to merge the data.

Answer: For automating your Shopify processes, PlentyONE provides a range of predefined event actions. Here is an overview of the main actions and what they do:Send shipping confirmation to Shopify: Transfers shipping details and tracking information to Shopify as soon as the order is processed in PlentyONE.Send return to Shopify: This event action can only be executed after the order has been fulfilled in Shopify.

How can I automate order processing and communication with Shopify?
You can fully automate many routine tasks between PlentyONE and Shopify by setting up so-called event actions.The principle behind this is simple: you specify that a certain event in PlentyONE (e.g. "Order has been shipped" or "Return has been created") automatically triggers a suitable action in Shopify (e.g. "Notify customer of shipment" or "Initiate refund").You can find everything you need for this in your PlentyONE system under the menu Setup > Orders > Events. The specific actions for Shopify can be found when creating an action in the folder Plugins.
