How to automatically update the status of orders in Shopify

When a route contains Shopify orders, you can choose how and when the status of those orders is updated in Shopify.

  • Go to Settings > Workspace > Integrations

  • Go to the Shopify section called > Automatically mark orders as fulfilled in Shopify

  • From the drop down menu select when Circuit should automatically mark orders as fulfilled, choose from:

    • When a stop is delivered (default)

    • When a route is started

    • When a route is sent to drivers

    • When a stop is imported

    • Don't automatically fulfill (selecting this option will not change order status)

  • The default setting is > automatically mark a stop as fulfilled in Shopify 'when a stop is delivered'


How to automatically send customer notifications via Shopify

If you have selected to automatically update the status of orders in Shopify then you can also turn on the automatic sending of customer notifications via email.

You can find and edit these emails in your Shopify store. Look for the Shipping confirmation and Shipping update email templates.

  • In Circuit go to the Shopify section called > Notify customer via Shopify when fulfilled

  • Toggle the button to > ON

  • Emails will be sent when triggered by the order update preference you have set
