Import Pre-Start-Date Orders
POST/api/faire/instances/:integrationInstance/pre-start-date-orders/import
Import selected pre-start-date orders from Faire into SKU.io. Each order is fetched from the Faire API and stored as a Faire order flagged as a pre-start-date import.
Any valid API token can call this endpoint — no specific scope required. Manage tokens.
Because each order requires its own throttled Faire API call, the import runs in the background. The request returns immediately with a tracked job log ID that can be used to follow the import's progress.
Requires the instance's order import start date to be set — returns 422 otherwise.
Path Parameters:
integrationInstance- The ID of the integration instance
Request Body:
faire_order_ids(required, array of strings, 1-10000 entries) - Faire order IDs to import (e.g.bo_abc123xyz)
Behavior:
- Runs as a background import — the request returns right away with a tracked job log ID; the orders are fetched and stored asynchronously
- Orders already in SKU.io are marked as pre-start-date imports instead of being re-imported
- Cancelled orders and orders whose fulfillment mode does not match the instance are skipped
- Imported orders do NOT automatically create linked sales orders — use Create Linked Sales Orders afterwards
Response:
data.tracked_job_log_id- ID of the tracked job log; poll it to follow import progressmessage- Human-readable confirmation of how many orders are being imported

Response Headers
Unauthenticated — the bearer token is missing, revoked, expired, or malformed. Never retry automatically; fix the credential. See the Errors guide.
Forbidden — the token lacks a required scope, the endpoint is not available to API tokens, or the user behind the token lacks the permission. A human must adjust the token scopes or user permissions; do not retry.
Not found — no record with the given identifier (or the route does not exist). Verify the ID before retrying.
Unprocessable Entity
Response Headers
Rate limited — platform limit is 1,000 requests/min; individual tokens may carry lower limits. Honor the Retry-After header before retrying. See the Rate Limits guide.
