Fulfillment Services

A Fulfillment Service is a third party warehouse that prepares and ships orders on behalf of the store owner. Fulfillment services charge a fee to package and ship items and update product inventory levels. Some well known fulfillment services with Shopify integrations include: Amazon, Shipwire, and Rakuten. When an app registers a new Fulfillment Service on a store, Shopify automatically creates a Location that’s associated to that fulfillment service.

The Fulfillment Services pipeline can be used to request and retrieve details of the fulfillment services from the shopify platform. Read more about this here
