Tips & OGOship recommendations 

1. Setting order's automatic fulfillment in Shopify

Once the integration is in place it is recommended to enable automatic fulfillment for order's in Shopify. This way you don't need to fulfill all orders manually. To enable automatic fulfillment follow these steps:

  • From your Shopify admin, go to Settings Checkout.
  • Go to Order processing section.
  • Under the heading After an order has been paid select:
    • Don’t fulfill any of the order’s line items automatically
  • Click Save.

2. Email notifications

  • Under notification settings, you can customize the emails sent out to your customers
  • Once an order has been shipped from OGOship warehouse, you may notify your customer that their parcel is on its way. 
    • If the selected shipping method offers tracking the tracking code and link will be synced to Shopify from myOGO

3. Return handling

  • Remember that myOGO will always be the main source for your stock count if that is enabled in your store. 
  • When an order is returned to OGOship warehouse and the sold item is added back to stock, myOGO will update the stock level back to Shopify accordingly. 
  • For this reason, when you refund your customer and create the return in Shopify do not add the item back to sellable stock in Shopify. This may lead to extra stock that can lead to overselling of stock.
