Order Routing Rules Configuration

I need to configure order routing rules for my Shopify store with multiple fulfillment locations. Here are the details:

Store name: [YOUR STORE NAME]
Fulfillment locations: [LIST ALL LOCATIONS with city/region, e.g., “Warehouse A - Los Angeles, CA”, “Warehouse B - New York, NY”, “Dropship Supplier - Shenzhen, China”]
Product categories by location: [WHICH PRODUCTS SHIP FROM WHERE]
Priority rules: [e.g., ship from nearest warehouse, prefer own warehouse over dropship]
Split shipment policy: [ALLOW/AVOID splitting orders across locations]

Please help me set up:


  Location priority rules that route orders to the nearest fulfillment center based on the customer shipping address to minimize delivery time and cost.
  Product-based routing: specific products or collections always fulfill from designated locations regardless of proximity.
  Inventory-based routing: if the primary location is out of stock, automatically route to the backup location.
  Rules for handling orders with items from multiple locations: fulfill from a single location if possible (even if not optimal for every item), or split into multiple shipments.
  Special routing for international orders: route to the fulfillment center with the best international shipping rates.
  Express shipping routing: orders with expedited shipping methods always route to the location closest to the customer.
  Capacity-based routing: if one location hits a daily fulfillment cap, overflow orders route to the next available location.
  Manual override procedures for staff to redirect specific orders when needed.
  Automation using Shopify Flow to apply routing rules and tag orders with their assigned fulfillment location.
  A routing decision log that tracks which location fulfilled each order for performance analysis.
  A monthly report comparing fulfillment costs, delivery times, and error rates across locations.
  Fallback rules for when all preferred locations are unavailable or out of stock.
