Hi, we are swapping ERP integrations, and wanted to use flow and “wait” or “hold fulfillment” function to pause getting new orders to old ERP, but keep the integration active so we update existing orders with fulfillment and tracking info.
Hold new ones for 2 days and then when the other integration is connected, cut the old one and release orders.
I have tried “wait” and “hold fulfillment” but the orders still show in ERP right away. Is there some other way I can use flow to create a buffer before order is passed?
I know order editing app can in fact pause order passing for given time, so it should be doable.
Try this flow as it works for our store. The order shows “unfulfilled” right away after being created but is updated to “on hold” after 1-2 seconds by the flow app.
Our external devs made a custom shopify app - connection, that fetches new orders, and it still works too well. Any other idea how I could pause this with Flow?
We have an app connection between Shopify and ERP, would you have any other idea how we could use flow to interrupt this connection and not send the order right away but hold it? The suggested solution above did not work, so I am looking for alternative ideas.
