If you leverage third-party inventory management applications beyond Shopify’s tools, you’ll want to look at Carbon Checkout’s Auto-fulfillment setting within your app dashboard.
Auto-fillfillment turned “On” - when a customer makes a contribution, the contribution is automatically “fulfilled” in your Shopify orders, as we fulfill the carbon offset order in real-time on our end (you do not hold inventory in your catalogue).
Auto-fulfillment turned “Off” - when a customer makes a product purchase and adds the Carbon Checkout balance contribution, the contribution portion of the order must be manually “fulfilled” in your Shopify orders.
Depending on how your third-party inventory management app manages orders within their platform, will dictate whether in fact the Auto-fulfillment setting should be activated to streamline your inventory management process. Your inventory management app team can advise which setting works best with their system.
