How you can activate fulfilment and set up a warehouse

    Once you’ve activated the fulfilment feature, you’ll be able to set up warehouses from your dashboard.

    Here’s a guide to help you get started:

    Step-by-step guide

    1. Activate the Fulfilment feature

    • Click on “Settings” in your navigation panel.
    • Press “Features.”
    • Switch the toggle beside the “Fulfilment” part of the page. This will activate the feature on your Little Big Shop account.

    2. Set up a warehouse

    • Now that you’ve activated fulfilment, the fulfilment page will be accessible.
    • Navigate to the Fulfilment page,
      • Here, you’ll see several warehouse options you can connect to, including:
        • PMA: For fulfilment and logistics solutions.
        • ShipBob: For automated fulfilment (pick, pack, and ship).
        • Unleashed: To track stock in real-time across multiple locations.
        • Custom Integration: Create a custom connection using an API.
        • Send to an Email Address: For warehouses without API integration, you can send fulfilment orders via email.
    • Click the “Set up” button under the desired warehouse service (e.g., PMA, ShipBob, or Unleashed).

    3. Enter warehouse information & press Save

    • This is the orange button at the bottom of the screen.

    4. Add an existing product to a warehouse (optional)

    • After setting up a warehouse, remember to link your existing products to the appropriate warehouse. Alternatively, you can do this as you add each new product.
    • You can do this as you edit your products, by visiting each product’s page, turning on fulfilment, and selecting the relevant warehouse.

    Tips

    • Choose a fulfilment service that fits your business, whether it’s automated, custom API, or email-based.
    • Ensure all fields between your shop and the warehouse align correctly for accurate processing.
    • If you change warehouses, or where specific items are stocked, revisit the relevant products and update to the correct warehouse.

    Now you’re ready to streamline your shipping process, by adding a warehouse!
