Quick answer: Before going live with Fulfyld, you need to complete six steps in order: submit your SKU and shipping method template, connect your sales channels and pass a test order, confirm your packaging requirements, complete a Shipedge demo call, send your inventory to the warehouse, and then schedule your live date with your onboarding coordinator.
Your Going-Live Checklist, Step by Step
Work through each section in order. Every item must be confirmed complete before your live date can be scheduled with Fulfyld.
Step 1: Store Details and SKU Template
Individual Products tab
-
☐ Every product variation (each size, color, configuration) has its own unique SKU
-
☐ Every SKU has a corresponding UPC/barcode value
-
☐ Every SKU has a detailed product description (clear enough for warehouse staff to identify without seeing the product)
-
☐ Dimensions and weight are filled in for every SKU
-
☐ HS Code is provided for every SKU (required for international shipments)
-
☐ Country of origin (manufacturing country) is provided for every SKU
-
☐ Declared value (your sales price) is provided for every SKU
Bundles tab (if applicable)
-
☐ Every bundle has a unique master SKU distinct from any of its components
-
☐ Component SKUs and quantities per component are listed for each bundle
-
☐ A detailed bundle description is included
Dropship / Ignore SKUs tab (if applicable)
-
☐ Any SKU on your storefront that Fulfyld will not be shipping is listed here (digital products, virtual gift cards, items fulfilled by another facility)
-
☐ SKU value, UPC/barcode value, and description are included for each
Shared Products tab (if applicable)
-
☐ Any SKU being fulfilled simultaneously by another facility is listed here
-
☐ Routing logic is documented (custom shipping method names, order tags, or other differentiators)
Step 2: Sales Channel Integrations
-
☐ You have provided the access Fulfyld needs to connect to each sales channel (admin invitation, store credentials, or API keys as required by your platform)
-
☐ Every sales channel you intend to fulfill through Fulfyld is connected — not just your primary store
-
☐ If you’re selling on a retailer platform (Walmart, Nordstrom, QVC) that ships on the retailer’s account, you have confirmed any additional per-order fees and integration costs with your onboarding coordinator
Test order: This is required before proceeding to Step 3
-
☐ A 1-unit test order with a valid shipping address has been placed on every connected sales channel
-
☐ Fulfyld has confirmed the order appeared in their system with the correct SKU and shipping method mapping
-
☐ Fulfyld has mock-shipped the test order and confirmed tracking pushed back to your storefront correctly
-
☐ Any mapping issues surfaced during the test order have been resolved
Step 3: Packaging Requirements
-
☐ You have provided a written description of your packaging requirements and preferences to your onboarding coordinator
-
☐ All individual units have scannable barcodes on the product itself
-
☐ If your products include apparel-type items, they are in individually barcoded polybags
-
☐ If any orders will involve kitting or bundling, you have provided photos, videos, or written instructions so the warehouse team can assemble them correctly.
Step 4: Shipedge Demo Call
-
☐ The Demo Call is scheduled (or has been completed)
-
☐ You have reviewed the Demo Follow-up Email sent after the call, including the recording link and key takeaways
-
☐ You have the box/pallet label template from the Demo Follow-up Email and understand how to apply the replenishment ID to inbound shipments
-
☐ You know how to navigate the Fulfyld client portal for order status, inventory levels, and reports
Step 5: Inventory Sent and Fully Received
Before you ship:
-
☐ A replenishment has been submitted in Shipedge for every inbound inventory shipment, including SKUs, quantities, tracking information, and expected delivery date
-
☐ Every box and pallet is clearly labeled with the replenishment ID and all required label details from the Demo Follow-up Email
-
☐ Inventory is shipping to the correct address: 511 6th St, Madison, AL 35756
After delivery:
-
☐ Fulfyld has sent you a receiving confirmation email
-
☐ All SKUs and quantities are confirmed as received in Shipedge with no unresolved discrepancies
-
☐ Any units flagged as missing or under-received have been reviewed and resolved with your onboarding coordinator
-
☐ Any units flagged as damaged on arrival have been documented with photos or carrier damage claims as applicable
-
☐ If you require FEFO/expiration date tracking on any SKUs, this has been enabled before receiving, and expiration dates were included in your replenishment
Step 6: Live Date Scheduled
-
☐ Your live date is confirmed for Tuesday–Friday (live dates are not available on Mondays)
-
☐ You have confirmed how existing orders in the system should be handled at go-live: by specific order number, by order date, or first-in, first-out
-
☐ If there are no orders in the system at go-live, you understand that Fulfyld will begin fulfilling orders as they flow in from your live date forward
-
☐ You understand the same-day fulfillment cutoff: orders received in Fulfyld’s system before 1:00 PM Central Time on a business day ship that day
