Manually Fulfil a Shopify Order with Papello

Published: 17/02/2026

If a Shopify order hasn’t been automatically fulfilled by Papello, you can submit it manually from the Papello dashboard.

This allows you to:

  • Select the correct Papello product

  • Assign the artwork to be printed

  • Send the order to Papello for production and shipping

Once fulfilled, Papello will automatically update the Shopify order with tracking and completion status.


When Would You Use Manual Fulfilment?

Manual fulfilment is useful if:

  • The product was not published from Papello

  • Automation is disabled

  • The order contains a non-Papello product

  • You want to choose artwork at fulfilment time


Step 1: Open Shopify Orders in Papello

Go to the Orders page:
https://dash.papello.com/dashboard/orders

Find your Shopify store in the stores list and click View Orders.

Step 2: Select the Shopify Order

Papello will display Shopify orders that are:

  • Paid

  • Unfulfilled

(You can use filters to show all orders if needed.)

Find the order you want Papello to fulfil and click it to open.


Step 3: Review Order & Customer Details

You’ll now see:

  • Order items

  • Customer shipping address

  • Order information from Shopify

Confirm the order details are correct before proceeding.


Step 4: Add the Papello Product

For each item you want Papello to fulfil:

  1. Select the matching Papello product

This links the Shopify order item to Papello production.


Step 5: Check Artwork & Positioning

Before submitting, you can confirm everything is correct using:

  • Preview — see how the product will look

  • Artwork Checker — confirm quality and sizing

Make any adjustments if needed.


Step 6: Submit the Order to Papello

Click Submit Order.

Papello will now:

  • Create the production order

  • Charge your saved payment method

  • Print and ship the item to your customer


What Happens Next

Once the order ships:

  • Tracking is sent back to Shopify

  • The Shopify order is marked Completed

  • Fulfilment status is updated automatically

You do not need to update Shopify manually.


Summary

  • You can manually submit Shopify orders to Papello

  • Select the product and assign artwork
