If I had to have this run automatically would suggest contracting with a QSP to write a script.
But for a semi automatic update, I would set the Sync for new data to come in daily over night.
I would then have a subscription email come to me each morning (as a reminder) which would be a Summary report of Unique Order#s. I would use the More button to copy these records to another table and populate a table of orders where the key field was Order#.
I would then push a formula URL button which would purge out the data in three tables for the lines and the Shipments and the payments, ands then it would run saved table to table imports to re-populate those tables.
So the daily manual work would be to update the Orders table using that More button and then click one button to do the rest of the work.
I have long searched for a native way to auto update an Index table with unique values, such as your order# with a single button click, but as far as I know, that requires script or manually copying a summary report.

There is no Automation here.
I'm suggesting that you copy across the the unique orders #s as you suggested, but then there would need to be quite a long formula URL to do all those other steps using the APIs. It would be a single click that would do about 7 steps.
If you want help in building that URL button feel free to contact me off line via the gmail emails address on my website QuickBaseCoach.com
