Yes, Simpl ships Shopify orders.

Simpl Fulfillment is a 3PL with a native Shopify integration. Connect Simpl from the Shopify admin in a couple of clicks — no middleware, no developer required. Orders flow into our Austin, Texas warehouse, inventory writes back to your Shopify store, and tracking posts to the order so buyers get Shopify's standard shipping confirmation from your store. Connect multiple Shopify stores and Plus expansion stores under one Simpl account and one inventory pool. Every Simpl client gets a dedicated account manager reachable by email with same-day responses. Pricing starts at $7/order; we ship for brands doing 50 to 5,000+ orders/month.

How it works

How the Shopify integration works

STEP 01

Send inventory to our Texas warehouse

Simpl ships from a single Austin, Texas warehouse. Send your inventory in, and Simpl writes back live counts on the first sync. If your Shopify store tracks multiple Shopify locations, all routing to Simpl maps to our Austin FC. Variants, bundles, and kit catalog rules come across so one SKU on Shopify becomes the right component picks at the warehouse.

STEP 02

Map locations and send inventory

Paid Shopify orders land at Simpl, get picked, packed, and shipped from our Austin warehouse. Tracking writes back to the Shopify order so the buyer gets Shopify's standard shipping confirmation from your store.

STEP 03

Orders flow in, tracking writes back

Paid Shopify orders land at Simpl and route to the closest in-stock location. We pick, pack, and ship. Tracking writes back to the Shopify order so the buyer gets Shopify's standard shipping confirmation from your store.

The decision sellers face

Built for Shopify's edges

Order sync is table stakes. The features below are where most 3PLs stop and where Shopify Plus operators actually run their business.

Multi-location inventory routing

Map each Shopify location to a Simpl fulfillment center. Shopify's native order-routing rules send each order to the closest FC with stock. No middleware, no manual splits, no double-allocation.

Shopify Plus B2B

Company accounts, draft orders, payment terms, and net-30 invoicing flow through to Simpl as standard orders with B2B metadata. We pick, pack, and palletize B2B orders alongside DTC from the same inventory pool.

Shopify Markets and duties

International orders route through Markets in the buyer's currency. Markets Pro DDP duties and taxes come across on the order payload so Simpl picks the right commercial invoice and customs documents per destination.

Shopify Flow and tag automation

Any Flow workflow or order tag can fire a Simpl action: hold for QC, expedite, gift-wrap, priority pick, B2B pack-out. Flow can trigger on any order property, so the rules live with you, not buried in a 3PL portal.

Bundles and kits

Catalog-level rules for fixed bundles and dynamic kits. One SKU on Shopify, N component picks at Simpl. Inventory writes back at the component level so Shopify's available-to-sell count stays accurate.

Shopify Subscriptions and Recharge

Native support for Shopify Subscriptions, Recharge, and Skio. Recurring orders route to Simpl on the cadence you set, with subscription-specific pick rules for inserts, samples, or anniversary boxes.

Why Simpl

Why Shopify brands choose Simpl

ONE INVENTORY POOL

One pool of inventory across every Shopify store you run.

Connect a primary Shopify store, Plus expansion stores, and regional storefronts to a single Simpl account. One inventory pool, one dashboard, no duplicated stock and no overselling between storefronts.

B2B + DTC, SAME OPERATION

B2B and DTC under one operation.

Most 3PLs treat B2B as a side project. Simpl handles Shopify Plus draft orders, payment terms, and palletized B2B pack-outs from the same inventory and the same team that ships your DTC orders.

FLOW-NATIVE

Built for Shopify Flow operators.

If you run on Flow, you can fire Simpl actions from any trigger: hold, expedite, gift-wrap, priority pick. No engineering tickets, no waiting for a 3PL to add a tag mapping in their portal.

PEAK-SAFE

Buffer inventory that prevents flash-sale oversells.

Configurable safety stock per SKU per Shopify location. Buffer the units you can't afford to oversell when a launch goes wide, without freezing real inventory that would otherwise be sellable.

Transparent Shopify pricing, no peak surcharges.

Three components: storage per warehouse storage type (bin, shelf, or pallet), pick and pack per order by component count, and outbound at carrier rates with live rate-shopping. No Q4 storage premium, no per-store fees, no peak-season carrier markups. Quotes come back against your real SKU mix and order profile.

FAQ

Shopify fulfillment FAQ

How long does it take to connect my Shopify store to Simpl?
The Shopify connection is a couple of clicks from the Shopify admin — no developer, no middleware, no CSV uploads. End-to-end onboarding, including location mapping, inventory transfer, and the first live order, is scoped during your first call against your SKU mix and volume.
Do my customers still get Shopify's native shipping and tracking emails after Simpl ships?
Yes. Simpl posts the carrier, tracking number, and tracking URL to the Shopify order, and Shopify sends its standard shipping confirmation email from your store, with your branding, and the buyer clicks through to Shopify's native tracking page.
Can I connect multiple Shopify stores under one Simpl account?
Yes. One Simpl account can connect any number of Shopify stores, including Shopify Plus expansion stores and regional storefronts, under one inventory pool. There is no per-store charge and no double-buying. The Simpl dashboard shows orders, inventory, and fulfillments unified across every connected storefront.
How does Simpl fit into a Shopify store with multiple locations?
Simpl ships from a single Austin, Texas fulfillment center. If your Shopify store tracks multiple Shopify locations (a retail store, a dropship vendor, another 3PL), Simpl shows up as one of those locations, mapped to our Austin FC. Shopify's native routing rules continue to handle the other locations on their own.
Does Simpl support Shopify Markets and international orders?
Yes. International orders that route through Shopify Markets reach Simpl with the buyer's currency and locale on the payload. Markets Pro DDP duties and taxes come across with the order so Simpl prints the correct commercial invoice and customs documents per destination. Multi-region storefronts run from the same inventory pool.
Does Simpl support Shopify Plus B2B, draft orders, and payment terms?
Yes. Company accounts, draft orders, net-30 payment terms, and Plus B2B metadata flow through to Simpl as orders with the right pick and pack rules attached. We palletize, label, and route B2B shipments to LTL carriers from the same inventory pool we use for DTC.
How does Simpl prevent overselling during peak or a flash sale?
Two mechanisms. First, inventory writes back to Shopify after every receive, pick, adjustment, and return so available-to-sell stays accurate at the location level. Second, configurable buffer inventory per SKU per location reserves units you cannot afford to oversell during a launch, without freezing real sellable stock.
What happens to a return that is initiated in Shopify?
Returns initiated in the Shopify admin or by the buyer through Shopify's native returns flow trigger Simpl's receive workflow. Items are inspected and graded on arrival. Restock-eligible units are restocked in Shopify at the right location.
Can I trigger Simpl actions from Shopify Flow or order tags?
Yes. Any Shopify Flow workflow or order tag can fire a Simpl action: hold for QC, expedite, gift-wrap, priority pick, B2B pack-out, insert assignment. Because Flow can trigger on any order property, the rules live in your Shopify admin where your team already manages them, not buried in a 3PL portal.
How is pricing calculated for Shopify orders?
Three components. Storage per warehouse storage type per month (bin, shelf, or pallet), with no Q4 surcharge. Pick and pack per order, priced by the number of components in the box. Outbound shipping at carrier rates with live rate-shopping. No per-store fees, no peak markups. A real quote takes your SKU mix, order profile, and ship zones into account.
