How To Automatically Process Or Manually Review DropShipping Orders
Automatic Order Processing
One of the best aspects of dropshipping is that it requires little to no work from you as a seller to get orders shipped out to customers.
By default, Apliiq will automatically process orders from your store so we can immediately begin fulfilling them for you.
However, there are some circumstances where you may want to review orders prior to them being fulfilled by Apliiq. You can deactivate auto processing, to enable manual review for dropshipping orders directly on the settings page of your account.
How manual reviewing dropshipping orders works
Here is how manual review works. When you de-activate auto processing, Apliiq will still receive all orders from your store, however, we will not attempt to charge your card for these orders automatically. Instead, the orders will be placed in the unprocessed orders section of your orders page. You can learn more about how unprocessed orders work here.
The most common reasons why you may want to manually review orders
- If you are just getting started with dropshipping and you are interested to see how everything works, manually reviewing all orders maybe for you. It will allow you to participate more actively in the fulfillment of your orders.
- If you want to test orders to see how they flow from Shopify to Apliiq activating manual review can be very helpful. Once manual review is activated Apliiq will not charge your card, but you can still see the orders on the Apliiq website. You can simply decline the orders once you have confirmed everything is working as you expect.
- In some cases you maybe concerned about fraud or illegitimate orders and you don't want your card to be charged until you have reviewed each transaction.
- If you have limited credit available on your credit card or debit card and don't want your card to be automatically processed, using manual review will allow you to control exactly when and how much your card is charged.
Combine Fulfill With Print On Demand, when Out Of Stock
Apliiq's print on demand and warehousing platform will allow you to configure rules for when you would like print on demand to "fill in" so you can continue selling and fulfilling orders, when you run out of stock for warehoused products.
By default, for warehousing, if you are out of stock for a product it will be placed on hold as a pending order. At that time, you will be given the option to fulfill the product as print on demand, or to create more inventory for the product.
By enabling the "fulfill out of stock products as POD" option, Apliiq will automatically process any out of stock warehouse product as a print on demand product. This option will ensure you don't need to manually review every order.
