Associating the Fulfillment account with Stock location

The moment the order appears in Valigara, the system can automatically trigger the fulfillment process by the 3PL services. The fulfillment account needs to be associated with the Stock Location.

Once the order arrives, Valigara assigns it to the specific Stock Location. According to the inventory settings, once the order reaches the selected order status, Valigara triggers the stock movement. In addition, Valigara will initiate the fulfillment process using the related 3PL provider.

For example, you can define when the new order appears in the status "Paid" in Valigara, the FBA's MCL is initiated on order coming from your Shopify website. At the same time, the EFS logistics account will be used for eBay or Etsy orders.
