Order Fulfillment Workflow Setup

I need to design a complete order fulfillment workflow for my Shopify store. Here are the details:

Store name: [YOUR STORE NAME]
Fulfillment locations: [LIST LOCATIONS, e.g., Main Warehouse, Dropship Supplier, 3PL Partner]
Average daily orders: [NUMBER]
Product types: [e.g., physical goods, digital downloads, subscription boxes]
Shipping carriers: [LIST CARRIERS]
Staff roles: [e.g., picker, packer, shipper, manager]

Please help me build a complete fulfillment workflow:


  Define the order lifecycle stages: Order Placed, Payment Confirmed, Picking, Packing, Shipped, Delivered, Completed.
  Create assignment rules for who handles each stage based on staff roles.
  Set up automatic fulfillment for digital products so download links are sent immediately after payment.
  Build a picking list workflow: how to generate daily pick lists sorted by warehouse zone or product location.
  Create a packing checklist that staff must complete before marking an order as shipped, including: verify items, check quantity, add packing slip, include marketing insert, seal package.
  Set up automatic tracking number entry and customer notification when an order is shipped.
  Create a workflow for orders that require special handling, such as fragile items, oversized packages, or gift wrapping.
  Define escalation procedures for fulfillment issues like out-of-stock items, damaged products, or shipping delays.
  Set up a daily fulfillment dashboard showing: orders awaiting fulfillment, orders in progress, shipped today, and any flagged issues.
  Create automation rules using Shopify Flow to move orders through stages and notify relevant team members.
  Define SLA targets for each stage, for example: pick within 4 hours, pack within 2 hours, ship same day if ordered before 2 PM.
  Set up end-of-day reporting to track fulfillment performance metrics.
