📝 How to Add Your Production Settings in Composer
This guide will help you configure the production settings. These settings make your Composer space tailored to your specific operations.
What are Production Settings?
Production Settings control how orders flow between Slerp and Composer. Setting this up correctly ensures:
- Orders from your Slerp online store appear in Composer
- Any 3PL (third‑party logistics) export files match what your courier/warehouse needs
You normally only need to do this once per Composer.
Step 1 – Open your Composer
- Log in to your Controls dashboard.
- Click the Composer icon on the left‑hand side.
Step 2 – Go to Settings
- Upon opening composer, you will be in Production tab, click the Settings tab.

Step 3 – Set your Import Account (Default Customer)
- Find the Import Account / Default Customer field.
- Choose the Default Customer account from the list.
- Click Submit.
⚠️ Why this matters:
- This is the customer account that incoming Slerp orders will use when they are imported into Composer.
- If this is not set, orders from your Slerp store may not appear in Composer.
Step 4 – Choose your 3PL Export format (if applicable)
If you work with an external courier or warehouse (3PL), set the export format:
- In the 3PL Export Format or similar dropdown, choose your provider (e.g. Absolutely, APC, DPD, Here&Now, Legion Express, Onfleet, Packfleet or Default).
- Click Submit.

Notes:
- Pick the option that matches the 3PL you use so the columns in the CSV line up with what they expect.
- If you don’t use a 3PL yet, you can leave this on Default.
Step 5 – Check everything is working
- Place a test order on your Slerp store and confirm it appears in Composer → Orders.
- If you use a 3PL, try exporting a file and confirm your courier/warehouse can read it.
If the test order doesn’t show or the 3PL file doesn’t look right, double‑check the Import Account and 3PL export format settings.
