2. Fulfillment Request Processing:
Order Status Column Descriptions:
Artwork:
Make sure to add the print-ready files associated with each item you want to fulfill. Address: This feature helps Sellers confirm if there is a problem with the US shipping address through the Smartystreets tool, thereby reducing the rate of returns, shipping to the wrong address, etc. See the details here Payment: Display “paid" or “pending" payment transactions, the orders that not directly placed in the Merchize storefront will be automatically marked as “paid”. To Fulfillment: At this stage, it may take about 5 minutes (As per the default settings) to send the order (that match default approval conditions: Address has been marked as “US valid", “Others" or “Buyer confirmed" & Artwork “Completed“) from your store to Merchize fulfillment system. (You can choose your preferred time by changing the options in the Fulfillment setting page).

3. Order Fulfillment Processing Understand the Order Fulfillment Status & Progress:
When your order request has been sent to our fulfillment system The status under ‘To Fulfillment’’ column will change to “Pushed” , and the status ‘Fulfillment’’ column should be updated to “Unfulfilled”.
When we receive your order, then process & invoice for your orders. If your balance has enough funds available and there are no issues, the next status should be “Fulfilled” (whole order) or “Partial" (selected items). If the order is “on hold”, indicates that the order couldn’t be sent to production due to an issue. (We may occasionally place your order on hold due to lack of balance, print file issues, product confirmation and similar.) If the order is “hold”, indicates that you took the action “pause order” (If you want to resume process you can click the “resume order” in the upper right-hand corner of the order information section)
After production begins, the order progress will display an “In Production” status, and the tracking number of the package will be generated and should appear in the order details. The production time may vary, but usually takes between 2-7 business days.
After the order is produced, then the shipping label is printed & your package is ready to ship. At this point the status will change to “Shipment started”. |
when all items in your order have artworks (printable files),
at least one item in your order doesn’t have artworks,
your order hasn’t added any artworks.
Our production facility is designed for efficient order processing, which means there’s a limited window for making changes to your orders. To request cancellation or any changes to an order, you must do so before it goes into production.
