Shopify Order Automated Fulfillment Process
This workflow is designed to automate the processing of unfulfilled orders in a Shopify store. It regularly filters out valid orders that were created more than 24 hours ago, calls the API to obtain fulfillment order IDs, and automatically creates fulfillment requests while sending notifications to customers. This process supports batch processing, making it suitable for merchants selling digital goods, significantly enhancing order processing efficiency, reducing manual intervention and error risks, and providing merchants with an efficient and stable fulfillment management solution.

Shopify Order Automated Fulfillment Process
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow automatically retrieves all unfulfilled orders from a Shopify store, filters valid orders that are older than 24 hours, iterates through each order, calls the Shopify API to obtain the corresponding fulfillment order ID, and automatically creates fulfillment requests while supporting customer notifications. The process supports batch order handling, making it ideal for merchants who use external fulfillment services throughout the entire process, such as for digital downloads or digital gift cards.
Core Problems Addressed
A key challenge in the Shopify order fulfillment process is that fulfillment actions cannot be triggered directly using the order ID; the “fulfillment order ID” must be obtained first. This workflow automates the complete process of “retrieving unfulfilled orders” → “filtering valid orders” → “obtaining fulfillment order IDs” → “marking orders as fulfilled,” significantly reducing manual operations and minimizing the risk of errors.
Application Scenarios
- Automated fulfillment of orders in stores selling digital products (e.g., electronic downloads, digital gift cards)
- E-commerce businesses using third-party fulfillment services
- Shopify stores requiring scheduled batch processing of order fulfillments
- Merchants aiming to improve order processing efficiency and reduce manual intervention
Main Process Steps
- Trigger the workflow manually or on a scheduled basis
- Set global variables (e.g., store ID)
- Call the Shopify API to retrieve all unfulfilled orders
- Filter orders created more than 24 hours ago
- Iterate through orders in batches
- For each order, call the Shopify API to get the corresponding fulfillment order ID
- Call the API to create fulfillment requests and optionally notify customers
- Loop through and process subsequent orders
Involved Systems or Services
- Shopify API (order retrieval, fulfillment order lookup, fulfillment creation)
- n8n automation platform nodes (Schedule Trigger, HTTP Request, Filter, SplitInBatches, Set, Manual Trigger, Sticky Note)
Target Users and Value
- Shopify store operators and e-commerce businesses, especially those selling digital products or using external fulfillment services
- E-commerce teams seeking to automate order fulfillment processes to reduce manual work and errors
