ShipVine

ShipVine is a 3PL (Third-Party Logistics) company that does not read live edits. Orders must be finalized before ShipVine downloads them.

Integration method required: ON-HOLD Flow


How ShipVine Downloads Orders

ShipVine downloads orders when the fulfillment status is "Fulfilled" or "Fulfilled Hold Release" in Shopify.


How the Integration Works

  1. Order created → "ON-HOLD" tag applied

  2. Grace period active → Customer can edit order

  3. ShipVine does not download → Order not released (still on hold)

  4. Grace period ends → "Fulfillment release" tag applied

  5. ShipVine downloads order → Order sent with all edits included


Setup Instructions

Import ON-HOLD Master Flow

  1. Download HOLD_Order Editing_Master Flow.flow

  2. Navigate to Shopify Admin > Apps > Shopify Flow

  3. Import the Flow file

  4. Configure timing to match your editing deadline (e.g., 30 minutes)

  5. Activate the Flow

  6. Save

Note: This Master Flow applies the "ON-HOLD" tag during the editing window and applies the "Fulfillment release" tag when the editing period ends.

Important: Payment capture settings in Shopify do NOT need to be changed. Leave on Automatic.


Settings Summary

In Shopify:

  • Payment capture: Automatic (no change needed)

  • Shopify Flow: ON-HOLD Master Flow active

In Order Editing:

  • Editing Deadline: Configured


Testing

Test before going live:

  1. Place test order

  2. Verify "ON-HOLD" tag is applied immediately

  3. Check that order doesn't appear in ShipVine yet

  4. Make edits during editing window (add/remove items, change address)

  5. Wait for editing period to expire

  6. Verify "Fulfillment release" tag is applied

  7. Confirm order appears in ShipVine with all edits


Troubleshooting

Orders appearing in ShipVine too early: Verify ON-HOLD tag is being applied by the Flow

Orders not releasing after grace period: Check that "Fulfillment release" tag is being applied when editing period ends

Edits not reflecting: Ensure edits were completed before grace period ended (ShipVine doesn't read live edits)

Tags not appearing: Review Flow configuration and verify it's active
