How Order Fulfilment Works for Suppliers in Zelph

Zelph makes it easy for suppliers to fulfill orders placed by retailers without changing your existing processes. When a retailer sells one of your products via their connected Shopify store, Zelph handles the order routing, customer details, and syncing — so you can focus on fast, accurate fulfilment.


🧾 Where Do Supplier Orders Appear?

When a customer places an order on a retailer’s Shopify store that includes your product:

  • The order is automatically routed into your Zelph Orders dashboard and your Shopify
  • You’ll see it tagged with the retailer’s name (e.g. “Order from Golden Age of Tennis”)
  • You can fulfil the order just like any other — directly within Shopify

🔍 Order Details You’ll Receive

For every order you receive from a retailer, Zelph provides:

  • Customer name and shipping address
  • Retailer reference/order ID
  • Product variant, quantity, and SKU
  • Any additional shipping or tax notes

This gives you all the information needed to fulfil the order as if it came from your own store.


🚚 How to Fulfil a Retailer Order

  1. Pack & ship the order
    • Use your preferred fulfilment method (e.g. warehouse, courier, manual dispatch)

      Add tracking info in Shopify

    • Open the order in Shopify

      Enter:

      • Tracking number
      • Courier name
      • (Optional) tracking URL
  2. Click "Mark as Fulfilled"

🔁 What Happens Next

Once you mark an order as fulfilled in Zelph:

  • ✅ The retailer’s Shopify store is automatically updated
  • ✅ The order is marked as fulfilled
  • ✅ The tracking number appears in the customer’s Shopify order view
  • ✅ The retailer is notified without needing to manually chase you

The result? A smooth and transparent experience for the retailer and their customer — with no extra admin work for you.


🔐 Data Access & Privacy

As a supplier, you only receive customer data (like name and shipping address) that is necessary to fulfil the order.

Zelph handles all data sharing securely and only for the purpose of fulfilment.


📦 What About Returns or Issues?

  • If the retailer needs to manage a return, they will typically reach out to you directly using the contact details on file.
  • You can use your standard return/refund processes unless otherwise agreed with the retailer.
