Automate FeeBee Fee Fulfillment on New Orders

This Flow automatically marks specific 'FeeBee fee' line items as fulfilled when a new fulfillment order is ready, streamlining your order processing.

The Problem

Manually identifying and fulfilling digital 'fee' products like FeeBee fees within physical orders is a tedious, error-prone task that consumes valuable staff time. Mismanagement can lead to unnecessary shipping attempts for non-physical items, customer confusion, or delays in fulfilling actual products.

What This Automation Solves

This Shopify Flow triggers immediately when a fulfillment order is ready, typically after an order is placed and risk assessed. It intelligently loops through each line item, and if a product matches your designated 'FeeBee fee' criteria, it precisely marks only that item as fulfilled using a targeted Admin API request, separating digital from physical fulfillment.

When to Use This Automation

  • You sell specific digital 'fee' products that don't require physical shipping.
  • You want to automatically separate the fulfillment of digital fees from your physical product fulfillment workflow.
  • Your team spends time manually marking 'fee' line items as fulfilled within mixed orders.

Workflow

  1. Trigger

    Step 1

    A fulfillment order, an assignment of line items to a fulfillment location, is ready to fulfill if there is inventory available to fulfill the order and a risk assessment has been performed on the order

  2. Loop

    Step 2

    item in fulfillmentOrder.lineItems

  3. Condition

    Step 3

    Check if the product is a FeeBee fee

  4. Action

    Step 4

    Fulfillment the single item

Step-by-Step Setup

  1. 1

    Start a new Flow with the trigger 'Fulfillment order ready to fulfill'.

  2. 2

    Add a 'For each' loop block, iterating over `fulfillmentOrder.lineItems`.

  3. 3

    Inside the loop, add a 'Condition' block. Configure it to check if `item.product.title` (or `item.product.type` or `item.product.vendor`) contains 'FeeBee fee' (adjust 'FeeBee fee' to your actual product naming convention).

  4. 4

    Under the 'YES' branch of the condition, add an 'Admin API request' action to fulfill the current `item` from the loop.

Related Questions

What if my fee products aren't named 'FeeBee fee'?
You'll need to adjust the condition step to match the exact naming, product type, vendor, or even a specific product tag that uniquely identifies your fee products.
Can this Flow accidentally fulfill a physical product?
No, the condition acts as a precise filter, ensuring that the fulfillment action is only applied to line items that explicitly match your defined 'FeeBee fee' criteria.
Why use an 'Admin API request' instead of a simpler 'Fulfill items' action?
The 'Admin API request' provides granular control, allowing you to fulfill a single, specific line item within a fulfillment order, which is essential for isolating digital fees from physical goods.
What happens if an order contains only FeeBee fees?
The Flow will process and fulfill all FeeBee fee line items. Once all items on the order are fulfilled (either by this Flow or other means), the entire order will transition to a 'Fulfilled' status.

Merchant Insight

To make this Flow more robust and scalable, consider assigning a unique product tag (e.g., 'digital_fee') to all your FeeBee fee products. Then, update your Flow's condition to check for `item.product.tags CONTAINS 'digital_fee'` instead of
