How soon after an order is created will it be made available to ChannelAdvisor?

An automated risk management system is in place. Fruugo sends off relevant data to a service and a risk score is returned. If the score is acceptable then the order goes through automatically and this is when the order will be available to ChannelAdvisor within 2 minutes.

If, however, the score indicates that the transaction is suspect then it gets put into a queue for manual checking by Fruugo. If subsequently approved then the order will be made available to ChannelAdvisor within 2 minutes of approval. The time it takes for Fruugo to become available to review the transaction very much depends on the time of year, but typically within 12 hours.
