Step 5: The fourth page is called ""Auto Fulfill Settings" page".
There are different options in the "Auto Fulfill Settings" page which you can use to customize your task and the vendor link.
Lets go through the options one by one.
Google Sheet Link: In this page, you can find the Google Sheet link:
The Google Sheet is used to see all unfulfilled orders, for the products which were selected in the third page.
Also, through the Google Sheet link, the tracking numbers can be entered to fulfill the orders.
Add More Fields: In the vendor link, you can add additional information for your orders, by clicking the "Add more fields" option:
Once you click the "Add more fields" option, it will expand, and show different fields which you can select:
You can select the respective fields like SKU, variant options, customer email etc, and add them to the Google Sheet for each order.
Set Vendor Notification: The "Set vendor notification" will give you the option to enter the recipient email address.
When a new order is received in Shopify, Auto Fulfill will automatically send a "New Order Notification Email" to the email address, which you enter in the "Set vendor notification" box:
Also, you can either choose to have Auto Fulfill send the "New Order Notification" email every time Shopify receives a new order.
Or You can sent the time and timezone, at which you would like Auto Fulfill to send the "New Order Notification" email everyday:
You can also customize your signature, so the recipient will know from where the email is coming from:
Set Fulfillment automation: In the "Set Fulfillment automation" section, you can choose "Manual", which will allow you to fulfill your orders manually.
Or, you can select daily, hourly, every 2 hours, 4 hours or 6 hours, and have the task run automatically and fulfill your orders:
Customer Notification: In the "Customer Notification" section, you can choose to either send a notification email to your customers, once the orders are fulfilled.
Or you can select "No" to prevent any notification emails from being sent to your customers about the shipment:
Auto Fulfill Notification Settings: Auto Fulfill will send you a notification when when orders are fulfilled or which are still unfulfilled.
So there are three options:
Option 1: You can set a time, when you would like to receive for fulfilled and unfulfilled orders:
Option 2: By selecting the second option, you can receive email notification every time when orders are fulfilled.
Option 3: If you don't want to receive any notification email, then you can select the third option.

The location you select, represents the location where your products are stored. It is from this location, the products will be fulfilled.
