Does SFN Shopify fulfillment Network has it's own logistics?

I’d like to know more information in regard to Shopify Fulfillment Networks.

  1. Do I find my own 3PL logistics provider and then ship my product to the designated Shopify warehouse?
  2. What are the screening criteria and the process of a logistics provider joining the SFN, not as a merchant but as the logistics solution for merchants?

Hello @Steamed_Bike ,

  1. As a merchant, you can choose to use Shopify Fulfillment Network to handle your order fulfillment. To get started, you need to meet certain eligibility criteria, and your products need to be located in a Shopify Fulfillment Network-enabled warehouse. If your store is eligible, you can opt-in to use the SFN directly from your dashboard. After that, your inventory will be sent to the designated Shopify warehouse for fulfillment.

  2. The screening process may involve assessing the provider’s capabilities, infrastructure, technology integration, experience, reliability, and ability to meet the fulfillment needs of Shopify merchants. The specific screening criteria and process for logistics providers to join SFN were not publicly disclosed by Shopify. However, interested logistics providers can reach out to Shopify directly to express their interest and inquire about the partnership requirements.

Hope this can help.

Thank you so much and sorry for the late reply, didn’t know it’s resolved this fast. :grinning_face:

Is this information still current with the Flexport acquisition? Does SFN still exist as well?

@Neale_Kelly I’m looking into this right now. It looks to still be going strong.
