Australia Post Pre-Order, Delayed Fulfillment & Operational Queries – Shopify Australia Post Shipping App with Rates, Labels & Tracking FAQs

How can I ensure that order fulfillment happens only after the order has been manifested, not immediately after generating the label?

By default, when you generate a shipping label using the PluginHive app, the corresponding Shopify order is automatically marked as fulfilled. If you'd like to control when fulfillment happens—specifically after manifesting—you should generate the shipping label only when the order is ready to be processed and fulfilled. Currently, there isn't a setting to delay fulfillment until after manifesting. As a best practice, we recommend generating the shipping label only when the order is ready to ship, which ensures that both label generation and fulfillment happen at the appropriate time. If your workflow requires fulfillment to be delayed until after manifesting, please reach out to the PluginHive support team to explore if any workarounds or customizations are available for your setup.
