Can orders be imported into Vareons?
Last verified: 2026-09-18
Vareons supports importing orders from a CSV file on the orders page in the dashboard. Rows are mapped to the internal order shape and inserted in batches, then a report shows how many succeeded and failed. Importing is useful when moving to a structured store: historical orders load from a previous system and are then managed in the same list as new orders. Imported orders can be updated afterwards from their details page like any other order, noting that importing requires the create-orders permission on the acting account.
Sound import steps
- Prepare the CSV file with columns matching the internal order shape and confirm the file encoding and data sanity.
- Confirm the account holds the create-orders permission before starting the import.
- Upload the file from the orders list and start with a small trial batch when possible.
- Review the success and failure report and fix failed-row causes such as missing fields or wrong formats.
- Complete the remaining import, then review imported orders and fill any gaps from the details pages.
Prepare the CSV with columns matching the internal order shape, start with a small trial batch and review the success and failure report, and confirm the create-orders permission before importing the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I import old orders into Vareons?
Prepare a CSV file with columns matching the internal order shape, then upload it from the orders list in the dashboard and review the success and failure report after batched insertion. Start with a small trial batch, fix failed rows before importing the rest, then fill any gaps from the details pages.
Which permission is needed to import orders?
Importing requires the create-orders permission on the acting account, otherwise the import stops or the operation is rejected. Confirm the permissions of the account or the assigned employee before preparing the file and starting the upload.
What do I do with failed rows after importing?
Review the import report for succeeded and failed counts and identify failure causes such as missing fields or wrong formats, then fix the file and re-import only the failed rows. After completion, review the imported orders and fill any gaps from the details pages as usual.
