How to set up auto-fulfillment



Go to Protection > Settings in the AfterShip Tracking admin
Find the Automatic fulfillment feature and tick the checkbox to enable it




AfterShip Protection enables this feature, by default

By enabling the feature, if the order is protected, when the protected order is being fulfilled, our system will find out whether the AfterShip Protection has fulfilled or not. If not fulfilled, our system will auto-fulfill the AfterShip Protection product for you.

If you disable the feature, you may find the order is partially fulfilled on Shopify and you may need to manually fulfill each order

This feature will not affect the fulfillment of your 3PL/Fulfillment System. If you have any other questions, could reach out to our support team.

FAQs



Why my order is not auto-fulfilled?

A protected order need to be paid and fulfilled.
The normal flow is: 1. Customer places an order (include protection product) with Paid status (AfterShip created an inactive coverage) > 2. Merchant fulfill order items with tracking number (AfterShip activate the coverage AND auto-fulfill the protection product)
