Use this after wave picking is complete, one order at a time, until every shipment has a confirmed Shopify result.
One order at a time
- Open the next assigned order from the wave’s Ready to pack list. The order detail is the current source for lines, quantities, destination, and shipment state.
- Activate the order for packing through the existing ownership and processing flow. Do not take an order already owned by another worker.
- Pack the physical parcel and check every remaining line and quantity before opening shipment review.
- For a manual carrier, enter the real carrier and tracking details. For DHL, review the current parcel values, run the supported preflight, and confirm the charge-sensitive booking once.
- Treat booking, label archival, label download/printing, Shopify fulfilment, and wave advancement as separate results.
- Advance to the next wave order only after the shipment is accepted by Shopify. A local shipment or a downloaded label alone is not completion.
Printing is not booking
A failed download, blocked print window, or later print-all action must never create another DHL request. Keep the original shipment reference and use its retained label or recovery path.
Closeout states
| State | What it means | Safe next step |
|---|---|---|
| Shipment recorded | StoreFulfil has a shipment, but the carrier or Shopify result may still be pending. | Read the visible sync state and use reconciliation if needed. |
| Shopify accepted | The original shipment has a confirmed Shopify fulfilment result. | Advance the wave cursor to the next assigned order. |
| Wave completed | Every wave order has a shipment accepted by Shopify. | Treat the wave as history and do not reopen completed work as new picking. |
Pack and close each order
- Open the next order from Ready to pack.
- Check every displayed line and pack the physical parcel.
- Enter real carrier and tracking details, or use the Admin DHL flow.
- Treat shipment, label printing, and Shopify acceptance as separate results.
- Advance only after Shopify accepts the shipment.
Questions and hand-off
If The label will not download or print
Do not book again. Keep the original shipment and use its recovery path.
If The shipment is pending in Shopify
Leave the order in its pending state and hand over the original shipment details.
If The physical parcel does not match the order
Stop packing and reopen the current order before continuing.
What happens next
Each order is packed and reconciled once. The wave becomes complete only after every order is accepted by Shopify.
