So, we have added an option in the [Retainful dashboard](https://app.retainful.com/dashboard) -> Contacts section to allow you to import your existing contacts and their order histories from your WordPress dashboard.

Let us see how to use the option to sync orders and contacts.

**Step 1:** Log in to your [Retainful dashboard](https://app.retainful.com/dashboard) -> Contacts and click on 'Import Contacts'.
