Not every customer should be fulfilled the same way. A wholesale buyer expecting pallet shipments needs a different fulfillment path than a VIP retail customer expecting gift wrapping and a handwritten note. A B2B account on Net 30 terms has different logistics needs than a direct-to-consumer subscriber.

With Order Fulfillment Guru, you can use Shopify customer tags to automatically route orders to the right fulfillment location — no manual sorting, no staff decisions, no mistakes.

🏷️ How Customer Tags Work in Shopify

Customer tags are labels you assign to customer records in Shopify. They're persistent — once a customer is tagged, that tag carries over to every order they place. Tags can be applied manually, in bulk via CSV import, or automatically using Shopify Flow.

Common tags brands already use:

• vip, vip-gold, vip-silver
• wholesale, b2b, distributor
• subscriber, member
• employee, staff
• international

Order Fulfillment Guru reads the customer tag on each incoming order and uses it to decide exactly which location or partner fulfills it.

🔄 How It Works

1. You assign tags to customer records in Shopify (manually or via Shopify Flow)
2. A customer places an order on your store
3. OFG reads the customer tag on that order and matches it against your routing rules
4. The order is automatically assigned to the correct fulfillment location or partner
5. That location picks, packs, and ships according to its own workflow
6. The customer is notified automatically of the shipment tracking info
