When a Papello listing is published to Shopify:
- Orders are automatically imported into Papello

What Happens When You Publish Your First Shopify Listing
When you publish your first product from Papello to Shopify, a small amount of one-time setup is completed automatically in your Shopify store.
1. Papello Fulfilment Location Is Added
A new fulfilment location named “Papello POD Fulfilment” is added to your Shopify store.
You can view this in your Shopify admin under:
Settings → Locations
This location tells Shopify that products published from Papello will be fulfilled externally by Papello.
2. Papello App Shipping Profile Is Created
A Papello App Shipping Profile is added to your store.
You can find this in Shopify under:
Settings → Shipping and delivery
This shipping profile contains:
- Shipping prices for all supported countries
- Rates broken down by product weight
- The actual shipping costs you’ll be charged by Papello (excluding VAT / tax)
These rates are used automatically when customers check out.
Step 1: Choose a Listing to Publish
From the Listings page in the Papello dashboard, find the listing you want to publish.
Click Publish.
Step 2: Select Your Shopify Store
A pop-up window will appear showing all connected stores.
Select your Shopify store.
Step 3: Configure the Listing for Shopify
When publishing to Shopify:
- The product is created using your Papello listing details
- The fulfilment location is automatically set to Papello POD Fulfilment
- Shipping is assigned using the Papello App Shipping Profile
This ensures that when the product sells, Papello is automatically responsible for fulfilment.
Shipping & Markets (Important)
Shipping will only be available to markets (countries) that are enabled in your Shopify store.
If a country is not enabled as a market:
- Customers in that location will not be able to purchase the product
- Shipping will not appear at checkout
To enable additional countries, you’ll need to enable the relevant Shopify markets in your store settings.
