Connectr provides two FBA fulfillment workflows for updating Shopify order status and sending customer notifications.
A. Immediate
Step 1
- The customer places an order on Shopify and receives an order confirmation email.
- Connectr creates a fulfillment on FBA.
- The Shopify order status is updated to Fulfilled.
Step 2
- Amazon ships the order.
- For each item, Connectr sends a separate shipping notification email with tracking to the customer.
- Order status remains Fulfilled.
This is the default option and replicates Shopify's built-in Fulfillment by Amazon integration behavior.
B. Deferred
Step 1
- The customer places an order and receives a confirmation email.
- Connectr creates a fulfillment on FBA.
- The Shopify order stays Unfulfilled.
Step 2
- Amazon ships the order.
- For each shipment (one or more items), Connectr sends a shipping notification with tracking.
- Order status changes to Fulfilled once all items are shipped.
Tip: Deferred fulfillment makes it easier to distinguish fulfilled vs. unfulfilled orders in Shopify Admin. We recommend this option.
