Fulfillment bulk actions
You can use bulk actions to affect the fulfillment of several orders at the same time. Bulk actions that affect an order's fulfillment take some additional time to complete. When you use one of these actions, an indicator panel in your admin displays the progress of the actions. To minimize the panel, click Hide panel.
If the action is completed successfully on all selected orders, then the panel is removed and a success message is displayed. If the action couldn't be completed for some orders, then the progress panel displays the number of orders that the action failed for. Click View to review the orders for which the action wasn't completed.
If you select more than 250 orders to perform a bulk action on, then some functionality might not be available, depending on the action you're performing.
