Shopify is an eCommerce platform which allows businesses to start, sell, manage, and grow. You can build online stores, manage all of your sales and accept payments from customers. Anyone can use Shopify, and it is such a simple way to begin selling items, as all of your inventory and orders are kept in one place.

Shopify allows you to collaborate with third-party logistic (3PL) providers, which means your chosen 3PL will handle your whole fulfilment process whilst you focus on other areas of your business.

 

How Does Shopify Fulfilment Work?

Shopify fulfilment involves partnering up with a 3PL provider (like GNOC), and they will essentially store, pick, pack and ship your orders and send them to your customers. When an order comes through your shopify store, this will synchronize up to your 3PL’s system, and they will pick and ship your orders fast and efficiently. 3PL’s have access to real-time inventory tracking, exceptional stock control and brilliant staff, ensuring your orders are sent out correctly and on time (as all customers love a fast delivery).

Shopify fulfilment is the catalyst for growth, it is such an easy way to sell online and gives you more time to focus on other areas of your business. You can put your trust in a 3PL, who will be able to offer your customers cheap and fast shipping, as well as monitor your stock levels accordingly (avoiding overselling).

 

The Benefits of Shopify Fulfilment

There are endless benefits of Shopify fulfilment, but the key ones to take away include:

  • Gain expertise and advice from your 3PL provider.
  • Prevents overselling stock.
  • Increases customer satisfaction and improves loyalty.
  • Real-time data and tracking (making it easy to keep up with everything as all data stored in one place).
  • Optimise warehouse space.
  • Improves your supply chain efficiency.
  • Gives your business the chance to focus on other areas and therefore grow at a faster rate.
  • Access to global markets and more customers.

 

Things to Consider with Shopify Fulfilment

Shopify fulfilment has many benefits, but it is important to consider that there are many costs that are associated with Shopify fulfilment services and these need to be understood before making decisions on your fulfilment strategy. With this sort of fulfilment, there are pricing models to be aware of per provider, and these can include per-order, item, or storage fees. This can depend on what items you do sell, and it is important to make an agreement with your chosen provider. There may also be costs for things such as returns, kitting or your account management.
