How Shopify orders reach the floor.
Shopify connects natively to ShipStation, the WMS we run the whole floor on. When an order is paid in your store, it syncs in with the variants, quantities, address, shipping method, and any order notes. It lands in the pick queue with every other order on the floor. Nothing is keyed by hand, and nothing waits for an export.
Shopify Plus connects the same way. Subscription orders from apps like Recharge arrive as normal Shopify orders, so a renewal ships on the same cutoff as a first purchase. Your shipping rules come with the store: which checkout method maps to which carrier service, a signature threshold on high-value orders, a thank-you card in every box. We map them into the WMS during onboarding and the floor follows them on every order.
When the parcel is labeled, tracking syncs back to Shopify and the order is marked fulfilled. Your store sends the shipping notification the way it does today. Your customer never sees a 3PL.
Orders in by 12pm ET ship the same day, one to two ground days from the Northeast.
Orders in by 12pm ET ship the same business day. Later orders ship the next business day, two to three in peak. A Shopify order placed before noon on a Tuesday is picked, packed, and handed to the carrier on Tuesday.
That is where New Jersey earns its keep. Elmwood Park is about 15 miles from Manhattan. Ground reaches New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New England, and the DC area in one to two days, so a Tuesday order is in a Northeast customer’s hands by Wednesday or Thursday at ground rates. The rest of the country is about five days by ground, with expedited services when the customer pays for speed.
If your brand is in New York City, Long Island, or North Jersey, the warehouse is a drive, not a flight. Come see receiving, the pick lines, and your pallets by appointment, Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm ET.
Shopify’s own fulfillment or a 3PL?
Shopify’s own fulfillment network holds stock for Shopify orders. A 3PL with native Shopify, Amazon, and TikTok Shop connections ships every channel from one pool. YNK connects to Shopify natively through ShipStation, and you keep the store, the checkout, and the customer exactly as they are.
The practical question is not which logo is on the integration. It is whether every order from every place you sell lands on one floor, in one queue, from one inventory. Most brands run both Shopify and a marketplace, Amazon or TikTok Shop or both, and the stock has to serve all of them. A 3PL with native Shopify, Amazon, and TikTok Shop connections does that from one pool. You add a channel in the WMS, not a warehouse.
What you keep with YNK: your Shopify store exactly as it is, theme, checkout, shipping rates, and notification emails. What you add: a floor that ships the orders the same day and a dashboard that shows you every one.
A sale day is a spike. Here is what happens to the SLA.
Shopify brands make their own spikes. A launch, an email to the list, a creator post, a warehouse sale. The orders arrive in hours, not weeks, and the question for any 3PL is what happens to the SLA when they do.
Nominal, a jewelry brand we ship for, called a last-minute warehouse sale. It put more than 10,000 orders on the floor in one weekend. Every order shipped within SLA, with no surcharge on handling or storage. The people who ran that weekend run our own brands through peak too, and they are the people who pack your orders.
Tell us the date and the expected volume and we plan labor around it. If the spike is a surprise, the floor still ships it. There are no seasonal or peak surcharges on handling or storage, so the rate in your agreement holds through the sale and through November.
One inventory pool for Shopify, Amazon, and TikTok Shop.
Every unit is received once, scanned to stock once, and counted in one place. Shopify, Amazon, and TikTok Shop orders draw from that one pool through ShipStation. Amazon FBA replenishment ships from the same stock. You never split inventory by channel or reconcile three counts.
The count your Shopify store sees is the count on the shelf, because receiving is scan-to-stock, picks are scan-verified, and cycle counts reconcile the floor to the system. Pick and pack error runs under 0.3%.
You see the pool live, by SKU, with sell-through and reorder triggers, on the same dashboard we run our own brands on.
What Shopify fulfillment costs.
As an estimate: handling $3.00 per order, pick, pack, and ship all in. Returns $3.00 per parcel. Storage $0.65 per cubic foot per month, billed on the space you use. Postage is billed semi-monthly per shipment. The Shopify connection, the ShipStation WMS, and the live dashboard are included.
There are no seasonal or peak surcharges on handling or storage. Your handling rate in December is your handling rate in June. Your exact rates depend on your products, volume, and shipping profile, and are confirmed in your quote.
