Overview

In this scenario, we’ll set up Order Fulfillment Guru to ship from a specific warehouse if it can fulfill the entire order first, and if not, then partially fulfill the order.

<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.

  1. Let’s assume you have 2 warehouses in Shopify: East Coast Warehouse and West Coast Warehouse. You want the following order routing logic:
    1. For orders with shipping address in US East coast and if entire order can be fulfilled from East Coast Warehouse, ship from Easy Coast Warehouse
    2. For orders with shipping address in US West coast and if entire order can be fulfilled from West Coast Warehouse, ship from West Coast Warehouse
    3. If an order cannot be fulfilled entirely by one warehouse, split ship from each warehouse while still prioritizing shipping address
  2. In Order Fulfillment Guru, click Order routing
  3. Select an option for Trigger: Run automatically when orders are created and paid at the same time (recommended), Run automatically when orders are created but paid later, or Run Manually
