Manually Marking Orders as Fulfilled
Your customers orders automatically imports, marking manually as 'fulfilled' interferes with the API between your Shopify store and our Kin Custom app. Therefore, your order will not be recognized when you submit for fulfillment. Please leave orders in the "Unfulfilled" Status. If you have already marked as fulfilled, follow these steps to change the order back to an unfulfilled status so the order will import successfully:
Step 1. Click on the order that was manually marked as fulfilled. Click on the three dots at the top of the order and select "Cancel Fulfillment".
Step 2. Once the order has been marked as 'Unfulfilled' it will show as 'Unfulfilled' on your orders screen.
Step 3. Go in to your Kin Custom Shopify App, click 'Orders'.
Step 4. Enter your payment method and click 'Proceed' to checkout.
