Origine

Marketing - Internet, e-Commerce / emails to e shoppers
French term or phrase: Origine
I am translating dozens of emails that get sent out by some kind of central depot that deals with orders from different shops/websites.

So they say things like:
Nous avons le plaisir de vous confirmer votre commande passée sur (url boutique) et nous vous remercions pour votre confiance.

The problem comes with their use of the word "origine".
For example:

Expéditeur : libellé boutique
Adresse email : information@url boutique
Objet : Votre commande ORIGINE transmise à l’entrepôt

(Bandeau origine boutique)

Nous avons le plaisir de vous informer que votre commande n° (N° de commande) vient d’être transmise à notre entrepôt.

(Footer origine boutique)


Examples of other email subject lines:

Objet : Confirmation de ma commande ORIGINE
Objet : Votre commande ORIGINE est partie


ORIGINE is in a different colour to show that it is some kind of variable to be inserted.
In the above I would expect it to simply be the name of the shop, but in that case what is "libellé boutique"? And for the header and footer why do they say "origine boutique" and not just "origine"...

Any one have any experience with this?
