Can Shopify automate fulfillment?

Yes. Shopify can automate parts of the fulfillment process using built-in features, fulfillment services, apps, and automation tools such as Shopify Flow.

Automation can help with:

• Automatically assigning or routing orders to appropriate fulfillment locations.
• Sending orders to third-party fulfillment providers (3PLs) or fulfillment apps.
• Updating fulfillment and tracking information when orders are processed.
• Sending shipping notifications to customers.
• Using Shopify Flow to trigger actions based on order or fulfillment events.
• Managing local delivery, pickup, and shipping workflows where supported.

The exact level of automation depends on the fulfillment service, apps, store configuration, and shipping workflow.
