This article provides a comprehensive guide on seamlessly transitioning your existing Shopify products to Gelato for fulfillment. Whether you're currently working with a different supplier or simply seeking a more streamlined approach, Gelato offers various methods to simplify the process, ensuring your products are readily available for your customers.

Before initiating the product transfer, it's crucial to verify if the "Track quantity" feature is enabled for products created directly within Shopify. If activated, this feature might lead to inaccurate out-of-stock statuses for your products once connected to Gelato. Disabling this feature ensures accurate inventory management.

This highly recommended method streamlines future order and product transitions to Gelato. By utilizing the Import Order functionality, all new Shopify orders are mirrored as drafts in Gelato, initially marked as "Not Connected." This approach grants you granular control, allowing you to connect or disregard individual items within each order. Once an order item is connected, all subsequent orders containing the same product will be processed automatically based on your store's predefined settings.
