You should establish a Starshipit child account for each Shopify fulfillment location and configure the enhanced integration for each.

This will allow only orders from that location to import to that child account.

Enable this feature by subscribing to Shopify webhooks in the Shopify integration settings within Starshipit.

Orders appear in Starshipit as soon as they reach the configured status in Shopify if Shopify webhooks are enabled under Settings > Integrations > Shopify Settings. Without webhooks, orders import every 20-30 minutes. For manual order imports, disable the automatic import option at Settings > Integrations.

To configure this, integrate Shopify in the usual way, then navigate to Settings > Integrations > Shopify Settings andcheck the option Use for checkout rates only.

Orders with a cancellation recommendation will then be excluded from import.

To prevent pre-orders from importing into Starshipit, tag these orders in Shopify with Pre-order or a similar tag. Configure Starshipit to exclude these by entering the tag in the Exclude orders with these tags field under Settings > Integrations > Shopify Settings > Advanced. When ready to ship these orders, remove the tag in Shopify and conduct a manual import in Starshipit, specifying the number of days since the order was created to ensure all relevant pre-orders are imported.
