Summary
Biteship allows you to automatically import orders from your Shopify store. To ensure only relevant orders are imported into Biteship, you can select which Shopify order status types you want to import through the Set Order Import Configuration feature.
3 Types of Shopify Order Statuses That Can Be Imported
When setting up the Shopify integration in Biteship, there are 3 order status filter options you can enable:
1. Only Paid and Unfulfilled Orders
Orders that have been paid by customers but are not yet processed or shipped.
Suitable for: Stores that want to immediately process new fully paid orders that have not been handled at all.
2. Only Paid and Fulfilled Orders Without Tracking Number
Orders that have been paid and marked as fulfilled in Shopify, but do not yet have a shipping tracking number.
Suitable for: Stores that mark orders as fulfilled early in Shopify but have not yet entered the shipping tracking number โ so Biteship can help generate the label and tracking number.
3. Only Paid and Fulfilled Orders With Tracking Number
Orders that have been paid, fulfilled, and already have a shipping tracking number recorded in Shopify.
โ ๏ธ Important: This filter includes orders with tracking numbers not created through Biteship โ for example, tracking numbers entered manually in Shopify or from other platforms/couriers. Use this filter if you want to import these orders into Biteship for data synchronization or centralized shipment monitoring.
Suitable for: Stores that previously used other couriers or platforms and want to move their shipment management to Biteship without losing ongoing order data.
โน๏ธ Note: You can enable more than one filter at the same time according to your storeโs operational needs.
