fDaemon (short for Fulfillment Daemon) is a standalone utility for 3rd-party fulfillers to download and process orders.
It's designed to require minimally-attended operation, can handle high order volumes, and can handle the workload for multiple fulfillers.
General Info
For additional information or to be set up with fDaemon for your fulfillment lab, please contact your sales rep. or account manager.
Order Status Update
fDaemon can be used to post order status updates to the platform by creating simple JSON text files dropped into a hotfolder than fDaemon monitors.
Filenames
Status Update JSON files should have the following naming scheme:
<order_id>.<fulfiller_code>.<dealer_code>.json
For example, if Mugs 'r Us (8600) is fulfilling order #23051234 placed on the ABC Photo (6301) site, the filename would be:
23051234.8600.6301.json
JSON Content
The contents of the JSON file are the same payload as would be sent to the Photo Finale API3 UpdateOrders endpoint.
