Shopify Fulfillment Network
Allow me to introduce you to the Shopify Fulfillment Network - an end-to-end solution that stores your products, and picks, packs, and ships orders from fulfillment centers across the US and Canada.
By joining Shopify Fulfillment Network, also called SFN, you get tools to help you manage,
monitor, and distribute your inventory, so you can focus on other aspects of your business.
Getting started with Shopify fulfillment is easy.
All you have to do is fill out a few simple questions
to see if SFN is right for your business.
You're eligible for SFN if your business sells within the United States or Canada.
SFN works with businesses that sell direct-to-consumer,
send subscription bundles, or run flash sales.
You can feel confident that your orders will be picked up correctly,
packed, and sent out on time. All of this with help from our team and collaborative robot, Chuck.
Here’s how it works...
SFN uses smart recommendations for where to keep your inventory so that it’s close to your
customers, saves you time and shipping costs, and takes the guesswork out of distribution.
Pricing for SFN is based on your business's pick/pack rate,
transportation, inventory storage, receiving...
and special projects, like kitting, labeling, and packaging.
Your storage rate is calculated based on how much space your
inventory occupies in the fulfillment center. When it comes to shipping and transportation,
we automatically find the most affordable rates with domestic and international carrier partners
to meet your customers’ expectations. All of our plans come with access to our
Fulfillment Success Team so you’ll get helpful, fulfillment business support whenever you need it.
Now, let’s look at how you can start sending your
products to SFN so they can reach your customers quickly and easily.
To avoid delays and additional costs, you first need to prepare your products within Shopify.
Make sure that your products meet certain eligibility requirements
before you begin sending products to SFN. Most items can be shipped without any issues. But,
some items are restricted or prohibited by SFN
in order to comply with local laws and carrier limitations.
For a full list of eligible products, visit our Help Center.
It’s important to prepare your eligible products in advance to make sure that Shopify
fulfillment centers are ready to receive them as fast and efficiently as possible.
Each product variant must be prepared with the following product details
before it is ready to be sent to a fulfillment center:
a unique SKU a unique barcode
a tariff code if you ship internationally
After your products are set up,
they are ready to be packed and shipped to the Shopify fulfillment network.
