Fulfilling orders
After your customer places an order, you need to prepare, ship, and deliver the items to your customer. This process is referred to as order fulfillment. You can fulfill orders by yourself, use a third-party app, or use a fulfillment service to fulfill orders for you.
The fulfillment process usually includes the following tasks:
- picking and packaging products
- labelling the order for shipment
- shipping the package with a shipping carrier
Before you start fulfilling orders, make sure that you set up order fulfillment and shipping in your Shopify admin.
