How to Manage Automatic Fulfillment Requests in Shopify instead of ShippingTree
Step 1: Disable Automatic Fulfillment in ShippingTree
If you want more control over when fulfillment is requested, follow these steps:
- Visit the ShippingTree integration page.
- Locate the checkbox labeled "Automatically accept Shopify fulfillment orders."
- Uncheck this option to prevent ShippingTree from automatically requesting fulfillment on your behalf.
- ShippingTree will now wait for your manual request to process fulfillment.
Step 2: Set Up Automatic Fulfillment in Shopify
To automatically request fulfillment from Shopify once an order has been paid:
- Go to your Shopify store’s admin panel: Shopify Admin - General Settings.
- Scroll down to the Order Processing section.
Under After an order has been paid, select the option Automatically fulfill the order's line items.
You can learn more about this process in Shopify’s official guide: Shopify Order Processing Guide.
By following these two steps, you’ll have control over when ShippingTree requests fulfillment, while still utilizing Shopify’s automatic fulfillment system.
