Frequently asked questions

How do I set up Acción fulfillment in Fulfil?

To set up Acción in Fulfil, navigate to Inventory & Stock → Locations, create a new warehouse with Type set to 3PL, and configure your Acción credentials. The setup typically takes 30-60 minutes.

Can I use Acción for both Shopify and Amazon orders?

Yes, Fulfil's ERP automatically imports orders from Shopify, Amazon, and other channels. You can route all these orders to Acción for fulfillment, and tracking information syncs back to each sales channel automatically.

How does inventory sync work with Acción?

Inventory levels automatically sync in real-time between Acción and Fulfil. When products are received at Acción, stock levels update in Fulfil immediately. When orders are fulfilled, inventory decreases automatically. This ensures accurate stock counts across all your sales channels.

Can I send supplier shipments to Acción for receiving?

Yes, you can send purchase orders and supplier shipments directly to Acción for receiving. Fulfil exports the shipment details to Acción, and once they receive and inspect the products, the shipment is automatically marked as received in Fulfil with updated inventory levels.

Does tracking information sync automatically?

Yes, when Acción fulfills an order, tracking numbers automatically sync to Fulfil and push back to Shopify, Amazon, and other connected sales channels, triggering automated customer notification emails.

Can I route orders automatically to Acción?

Yes, Fulfil's automation rules allow you to automatically route specific orders to Acción based on product type, destination, inventory availability, or custom criteria. This eliminates manual warehouse assignment and ensures orders flow to the right fulfillment center automatically.

How are returns handled with Acción?

Returns can be sent directly to Acción for inspection and restocking. Once Acción receives and inspects returned products, inventory automatically updates in Fulfil and syncs back to your sales channels, making products available for sale again.

Can I manage multiple Acción warehouse locations?

Yes, Fulfil supports multiple Acción warehouse locations with unified visibility. You can view inventory across all Acción facilities, route orders to the optimal location based on proximity or stock availability, and track fulfillment status across all locations from a single dashboard.

How does order batching work with Acción?

Fulfil can batch multiple orders together before sending them to Acción based on your configured sync schedule. This reduces API calls and streamlines fulfillment operations. You can adjust the batch frequency to match your fulfillment volume—from every 5 minutes for high-volume operations to hourly for lower volumes.

Can I split orders between my own warehouse and Acción?

Yes, Fulfil intelligently splits orders when inventory is distributed across multiple warehouses. If some items are at Acción and others in your own warehouse, Fulfil creates separate shipments for each location, ensuring customers receive all their items while optimizing fulfillment from the most appropriate facility.
