How to Control the Fulfillment Status of Exchange Orders
Relevant to: Shopify users on Premium and Enterprise plans
As many merchants use third-party fulfillment apps to fulfill exchange orders, they face fulfillment issues when a new exchange order is automatically created or fulfilled on Shopify, even when the item is yet to be returned. AfterShip Returns allows you to switch the status of an exchange order from Unfulfilled to On hold when the item is not returned and back to Unfulfilled once returned. It will help prevent accidental loss if you are using auto-fulfillment apps.
In this tutorial, we’ll discuss:

Step 2: Turn On hold back to Unfulfilled
