Confirm each item is:
-
Properly mapped to a QuickBooks item (if syncing with accounting).

Not marked as inactive, deleted, or unavailable in the source store or marketplace.

If the issue persists after retrying:
-
Use the Get New Orders > Orders by ID feature to re-download specific orders.

Enter the correct Order ID(s) and click Get Orders.

Alternatively, use Orders by Range to re-download a batch of orders by date.
Navigate to Webgility Dashboard > Get New Orders (dropdown) and select your preferred method.
Step 5: Monitor for Recurrence
-
After correcting the order, continue to monitor for similar issues in subsequent orders.
-
If three or more retry attempts fail for the same item or order, gather detailed error messages and initiate technical review or escalation.
