Customize this workflow even further:
Auto-fulfill multiple different SKUs
Modify the filter to check against multiple SKUs using "OR" logic, or duplicate the filter and fulfillment steps multiple times for each SKU you want to auto-fulfill, enabling automatic fulfillment of various digital products or gift cards.
Add tracking or delivery information
Modify the fulfillment body to include tracking_urls or tracking_numbers if your digital products have delivery confirmations or access links that should be included in the fulfillment notification.
Send custom notifications
Add an email step after the fulfillment that sends a custom message with access instructions, download links, or redemption codes specific to your digital product, providing better customer experience than standard fulfillment emails.
Tag orders with auto-fulfilled items
Add a step after the fulfillment that adds a tag like "Auto-Fulfilled" or "Digital-Order" to the order, enabling easy filtering and reporting on orders that contain instantly fulfilled products.
Frequently asked questions
Can I auto-fulfill multiple different SKUs?
Yes, modify the filter condition to check for multiple SKUs using OR logic (change the "and" operator to "or" and add additional SKU comparisons), or duplicate the entire filter and fulfillment section for each additional SKU you want to auto-fulfill.
What if an order contains both the auto-fulfill SKU and regular products?
The workflow will fulfill only the matching SKU line items. Other products in the order remain unfulfilled and require normal fulfillment processing. The order will show as "partially fulfilled" in Shopify until the remaining items are fulfilled.
Will customers receive fulfillment notifications?
Yes, if you have fulfillment notifications enabled in your Shopify notification settings (Settings > Notifications > Shipping confirmation), customers will receive the standard fulfillment email when the auto-fulfill happens. You can customize this email template or add additional custom notification steps to the workflow.
