Import Pre-Start-Date Orders
POST/api/shopify/:integrationInstance/pre-start-date-orders/import
Imports selected pre-start-date orders from Shopify. Each order is fetched from Shopify individually, so the import runs asynchronously: this endpoint enqueues the work and immediately returns a tracked job id. Poll the tracked jobs API with that id to follow progress and read the final imported/skipped counts. Full order data is downloaded and stored flagged as a pre-start-date import so it stays out of inventory calculations. Orders that already exist locally are flagged instead of being re-imported.
Any valid API token can call this endpoint — no specific scope required. Manage tokens.
Authentication: Requires Bearer token.
Body fields:
- shopify_order_ids (array of integers, required, 1-10000): Shopify order IDs as returned by the list/search endpoints.
Returns the tracked job id. Returns 422 when the inventory start date is not set or more than 10,000 orders are requested.

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.
