Partial Fulfillment

Partial fulfillment allows you to ship an order in multiple parts instead of all at once.

When partial fulfillment is useful

• Items are stored in different locations
• Some products are out of stock
• Backordered items need separate shipping
• Large orders require multiple shipments

How it works

• You fulfill selected items from the order
• Remaining items stay unfulfilled
• Each fulfillment can have its own tracking number

Customer experience

• Customers receive separate notifications per shipment
• Tracking links are provided for each delivery
• Order completes only when all items are fulfilled

Best practices

• Clearly communicate expected delivery timelines
• Avoid unnecessary split shipments
• Track inventory carefully to prevent confusion
