About fulfillment
Learn about your options for fulfillment processes and your ShipCompliant account.
It is helpful to have a fulfillment process in place, whether it is in-house or with an integration with a fulfillment partner. Understanding your fulfillment process better will help you troubleshoot errors or problems with data in ShipCompliant, and give you better visibility into your order process so you can handle issues and stay informed about when shipping will be completed.
Seamless integrations with one of our fulfillment partners are the best option to speed the fulfillment process along. These integrations are typically automated, so you do not need to manage the fulfillment process manually by uploading tracking numbers yourself. After tracking numbers are in your account, order data will automatically pull onto state reports and shipment status emails, whether that is through DEX or through your POS system. Tracking numbers, order status, and payment date are often needed for reporting, so integrations can help you effortlessly ensure this data is in your account and your reports are accurate.
When you set up an integration, you will need to select how data is pushed to your fulfillment service. Each partner will have a slightly different process, and you will need to choose your preference for each partner you integrate with. Typically, the two options are to Share data or Enable Auto-fulfillment.
