Joe Warnimont

Fulfillment is the process of storing, packaging, and shipping ecommerce products. Shopify Fulfillment could simply mean how you fulfill items sold through your Shopify store.

In addition, your method of fulfillment decides how much it'll cost your business to get those products to your customers after checkout.

Shopify fulfillment isn't much different from the general definition of fulfillment, except that it's implying that your business is being run through the Shopify platform. Because of this, you have several integrated options that help you fulfill products on a regular basis.

How To Calculate Shipping Costs

Joe Warnimont

Shipping doesn't have to be free. However, studies have shown that 91% of ecommerce customers rethink their purchases from online stores when they realize that the shipping wasn't priced well or it wasn't fast enough.
