Fulfill Non-Shipping Line Items in Shopify Orders

The trigger automatically activates when a customer completes checkout and creates a new order in your Shopify store. It captures all the order details including line items, customer information, and shipping requirements for each product. No configuration is needed - the trigger connects directly to your Shopify store and runs in the background. All order data gets passed to the next step for processing.

The Loop step takes the complete order and breaks it down product by product, creating a separate processing path for each line item. It automatically iterates through every product in the order, checking the shipping requirements for each one. The loop ensures that multi-product orders get properly evaluated - some items might need shipping while others don't. Each product's details including shipping requirements, variant information, and quantity get passed individually to the filter step.

The Filter step checks each product's "requires_shipping" setting and only allows products marked as "false" to continue through the workflow. Products that require shipping (like physical goods) get filtered out and won't receive automatic fulfillment. This prevents accidentally marking shipped items as fulfilled before they're actually sent out. Only digital products, services, or other non-shipping items pass through to the fulfillment creation step.

The Create Order Fulfillment step generates a fulfillment record for each non-shipping product that passed through the filter. You need to specify which location should be assigned to handle the fulfillment using the "location_id" field - enter your primary location ID from Shopify's location settings. The step automatically sets customer notifications to "false" to prevent confusion about shipping updates for digital products. Each fulfillment includes the specific line item ID, variant ID, and quantity being fulfilled.
