Prefetch is a function where UC retrieves the invoice and Labels from the marketplace prior to the seller’s creation of the actual invoice labels. This streamlines the order processing, saving valuable time.
Pre Fetch Invoice helps in:
-
Saving time for sellers during the actual order processing.

It would reduce the average invoice fetch time, improving the seller experience.

MyntraPPMP, AMAZON_EASYSHIP, AMAZON_FLEX_API, AMAZON_IN_API, CLOUDTAIL, FIRSTCRY, FLIPKART, MEESHO, NYKAA_COM, NYKAA_FASHION, SNAPDEAL, TATACLIQ, JIOMART.
