Review fulfillement settings in your app

Go to your Replic Shopify integration fulfillement settings page and start customizing

Fulfillement and inventory settings

The following settings can be found in your fulfillement settings page.

Understanding fulfillment in Shopify

In Shopify, fulfillement is tightly tied to where the inventory for the product is located at the time of purchase. By default, the application will assign inventory for Replic products to a Replic location. This allows Shopify to break the order into separate parts to be fulfilled by separate entities: your store (or other locations) for your products and the Replic app for Replic products. By default, the application will also wait until an order has been paid to attempt fulfillment.

What this means

1

Replic inventory location

The Replic application will create a new inventory location in your store called Replic
2

New products are assigned to the Replic location

Replic products’ inventory will be assigned to the new location upon creation.
3

Printed variants (optional)

If printed variants are enabled, printed variants will be assigned to your store’s primary location for fulfillment. This allows you to send printed patterns before marking the order as fulfilled. Please see printed variants settings for additional options.
4

When an order is placed

When an order is paid, Replic will send an email automatically (or follow your other fulfillement rules). Any parts of the order assigned to Replic (based on inventory location) will be marked as fulfilled by the application.
5

Updating inventory for Replic products after creation

You can manually reassign inventory as you need for each product and variant directly into your Shopify admin to better suit your needs. Inventory assignment by Replic only happens at product creation. The application will not modify your inventory choices for existing products and variants (on partial sync or connect).

Inventory tracking

By default, Replic products are set as ‘Do not track’ for inventory. If you prefer Shopify to track inventory, Replic will automatically assign 100 products to inventory and attempt to refill that inventory back to 100 at the next invoice payment.

Automatically mark orders with only Replic products as fulfilled

Every order will be sent an email with a link to download the files regardless of the option chosen (unless you have also disabled email fulfillment in your download settings). If you select not to automatically fulfill digital-only orders, orders with only Replic products will remain marked as unfulfilled in your Shopify order list until you manually mark them as fulfilled.
If you wish to change this for any product or variant after import, simply go to that variant and assign the inventory either to Replic (for auto-fulfillment) or your store (for non-auto fulfillment). Disable the inventory for the other location.

Disable the Replic location

This option is only available for stores where the automatically mark orders with Replic products as fulfilled option has been turned off. This is because the feature relies on the Replic location to function within Shopify’s fulfillment rules. If you disable the Replic location, all Replic products’ inventory will be automatically reassigned to your store. If you choose to re-enable the Replic location in the future, and want to have orders automatically marked as fulfilled, you will need to reassign inventory to Replic manually for each product.

Fulfill Replic orders before payment

By default, the application waits until an order is paid for before fulfilling it. You can choose to fulfill orders once payment is authorized instead. This increases the risk of of unpaid orders.

Printed variants for your digital patterns

These options will come in handy if you are offering pattern printing services. Any options offered below can be further adjusted in your Shopify admin but this might save you a few clicks. Options include choosing where products will be printed (if you have more than one location), adding printing price, calculating shipping costs, and more.

Printed variants

Define your printed variants settings to save time editing products after import

Creating a printed variant

By selecting this option, you will create more than one variant when importing a product: a PDF only variant and at least one Print + PDF variant.

Printed variant structure

Occasionally, a product has more than one A0 file (for example shorts vs pants). You can choose whether the application will create only one printed variant or one printed variant per large scale printing file. If you select only one printed variant and import a product with multiple A0 files, the application will use the file with the most pages for any price or cost calculations that rely on page numbers. If no A0 files are detected for a pattern, only the PDF variant will be created.

Printed variant pricing

You can add a formula to calculate the printed variants retail price, to match the price of your printing services. Type your formula using the word pages. For example, type 88 for a fixed cost, 2pages2*pages for a cost per page, or 5+2pages5 + 2*pages for a fixed cost plus a cost per page.

Shipping costs

You can add shipping info to help Shopify calculate the shipping costs of your printed patterns.

Fulfillment location

Select the location where printed variants will be fulfilled. Defaults to your primary store location. You can change this field if you are printing from another location than your main store. If you select Replic, orders with printed patterns will be marked as fulfilled automatically which can make it harder for tracking what printing jobs still need to be done. Only select Replic if you are certain that this is the workflow you want.

Additional printing cost

For reporting purposes only. This is what it costs you to print a pattern. This cost will be added to the product’s wholesale cost and set as the printed variant’s cost in Shopify.
