Issue: An order includes both pre‑order and in‑stock items; the merchant wants to ship them separately and have the delivery bill show only the shipped goods.
Shopify solution: Use “Partial Fulfillment,” which allows fulfilling and shipping only part of an order while leaving the rest for later. A Shopify help article was linked for instructions.
Latest update: A third‑party app, Order Fulfillment Guru, was recommended to automatically split orders and reduce manual work. A Vimeo video link was provided for more details.
Clarification: Partial Fulfillment means splitting an order into multiple shipments/fulfillments so each shipment contains only the items being sent at that time.
Status: No confirmation or outcome from the original poster. The specific need to customize the delivery bill beyond standard partial fulfillment behavior was not directly addressed, so the discussion remains open.
Hello, is it possible to split an order?
I offer in my store products on pre-order and items on stock.
I have received an order that includes both pre-order and stock items.
Can I ship the order separately and customize the delivery bill to show only the included goods?
Hi, I believe what you are looking for is “Partial Fulfillment”. Here is a helpful article from Shopify on how to do that.
Hi @Freshminze ,
