Frequently asked questions
How do I set up LongTail fulfillment in Fulfil?
To set up LongTail in Fulfil, navigate to Inventory & Stock → Locations, create a new warehouse with Type set to 3PL, and configure your LongTail credentials. The setup typically takes 1 hour.
Can I use LongTail for both Shopify and Amazon orders?
Yes, Fulfil's ERP automatically imports orders from Shopify, Amazon, and other channels. You can route all these orders to LongTail for fulfillment, and tracking information syncs back to each sales channel automatically.
How does inventory sync work with LongTail?
Inventory levels automatically sync in real-time between LongTail and Fulfil. When products are received at LongTail, stock levels update in Fulfil immediately. When orders are fulfilled, inventory decreases automatically. This ensures accurate stock counts across all your sales channels.
Can I send supplier shipments to LongTail for receiving?
Yes, you can send purchase orders and supplier shipments directly to LongTail for receiving. Fulfil exports the shipment details to LongTail, and once they receive and inspect the products, the shipment is automatically marked as received in Fulfil with updated inventory levels.
Does tracking information sync automatically?
Yes, when LongTail fulfills an order, tracking numbers automatically sync to Fulfil and push back to Shopify, Amazon, and other connected sales channels, triggering automated customer notification emails.
Can I route orders automatically to LongTail?
Yes, Fulfil's automation rules allow you to automatically route specific orders to LongTail based on product type, destination, inventory availability, or custom criteria. This eliminates manual warehouse assignment and ensures orders flow to the right fulfillment center automatically.
How are returns handled with LongTail?
Returns can be sent directly to LongTail for inspection and restocking. Once LongTail receives and inspects returned products, inventory automatically updates in Fulfil and syncs back to your sales channels, making products available for sale again.
Can I manage multiple LongTail warehouse locations?
Yes, Fulfil supports multiple LongTail warehouse locations with unified visibility. You can view inventory across all LongTail facilities, route orders to the optimal location based on proximity or stock availability, and track fulfillment status across all locations from a single dashboard.
How does order batching work with LongTail?
Fulfil can batch multiple orders together before sending them to LongTail based on your configured sync schedule. This reduces API calls and streamlines fulfillment operations. You can adjust the batch frequency to match your fulfillment volume—from every 5 minutes for high-volume operations to hourly for lower volumes.
Can I split orders between my own warehouse and LongTail?
Yes, Fulfil intelligently splits orders when inventory is distributed across multiple warehouses. If some items are at LongTail and others in your own warehouse, Fulfil creates separate shipments for each location, ensuring customers receive all their items while optimizing fulfillment from the most appropriate facility.
