Fulfill Engine prints and ships products for you. Instead of buying blanks,
decorating them and posting them, you sell the product and Fulfill Engine
produces each order.
Both models can run side by side in the same business, and even in the same
store.
Requires a Full or Enterprise license.
Connecting
In Integrations, Connect opens
Connect Fulfill Engine, which asks for the Account ID and API key
from your Fulfill Engine account. Both are required.
Once connected, Update changes those credentials and Disconnect stops
orders being submitted. You can reconnect at any time.
How it differs from a supplier blank
A product is one or the other, never both.
Importing a product
See Print on demand. Two things carry over to
everything below. The printing method is chosen at import and locked afterwards.
And every variant’s retail price has to reach at least 110% of the Fulfill
Engine cost, or the import is refused, naming the color and size that failed.
With no pricing rule attached, retail equals cost, so a first import is always
refused. Attach at least one pricing rule that
marks prices up. Decorating
Fulfill Engine blanks decorate like any other, through the
decoration tool or by
applying artwork.
Decoration method controls on the artwork side do not apply to Fulfill Engine
products, because the method was set at import.
Pricing
The FE decoration upcharge pricing rule exists for
these products. It sets a per-location rate for each printing method, and each
decoration location on a product adds its rate per unit. The rule type only
appears in the list once Fulfill Engine is connected.
What happens when an order arrives
Fulfill Engine produces and ships the order. You do not raise a purchase order
or a work order for those items, and you do not buy a label.
Converting a quote that contains Fulfill Engine products
submits them to Fulfill Engine for production immediately. Itemstores warns
you first.
