<aside> ❗ This feature integrates seamlessly with other Shopify public or private apps / API’s that can read orders based on locations (i.e. the app can selectively import orders based on location and ignore other orders).

If you are looking for the ability to split & route orders based on inventory availability at different warehouses or 3PL’s, but your fulfillment partner's system does not work with multiple locations in a Shopify store, please schedule a Zoom call.

Overview

When customers make a purchase via your Shopify store (brick & mortar store or online store), you can send the order automatically to your Fulfillment partner, which can be a vendor, dropshipper, warehouse, 3PL, fulfillment center, just-in-time supplier, or another Shopify store. Each Fulfillment partner can have multiple Fulfillment locations, and you can send orders to different Fulfillment locations depending on order routing logic, such as inventory availability, shipping destination country, shipping method, etc. If the order contains multiple Fulfillment partners, it is automatically split into separate suborders and routed to different Fulfillment partners.

You can send or route orders in multiple ways. Order Fulfillment Guru currently supports the following Connectors. You can mix and match these Connectors in your store, depending on your and your Fulfillment partners' needs.
