Automate order fulfillment

From new Shopify order to shipped, invoiced, and confirmed — or held for ops, or cancelled — without anyone copy-pasting.

OperationsFinance

Fulfilling an order by hand means shuttling it between Shopify, the warehouse, QuickBooks, and the customer's inbox — and invoices get missed, ship times slip, and fraud sneaks through.

Relay.app runs every order end to end, so ops stops copy-pasting between tools: Claude validates each new Shopify order, then routes it — clean orders ship via ShipHero, invoice in QuickBooks, and get a confirmation email; risky ones pause for ops with a holding reply; fraud is cancelled and refunded — with a summary in #orders.

Here's how it works, step by step

Every new Shopify order kicks fulfillment off

  • A new order lands in Shopify and the workflow fires in seconds — no end-of-day batches, no nightly cron.
  • Validation runs immediately, so most orders are in the warehouse pipeline within a minute of the customer clicking buy.

Claude reads the order and tags the outcome

  • Claude classifies each order into one of three buckets — pass, review, or cancel.
  • It weighs country mismatch, value outliers, SKU risk, and fraud signals, and that label is the routing key for the paths below.
Prefer a different model? Try:

One classifier, three paths

  • Pass: ships via ShipHero, invoices in QuickBooks, and sends a warm Gmail confirmation.
  • Review: drafts a holding reply, pings the ops lead in Slack to decide, and updates the order status in Shopify so the warehouse doesn't pick from limbo.
  • Cancel: cancels the order in Shopify and sends a polite refund notice via Gmail. Click any tab above to see what runs.

Log every order to the team's running thread

  • Whichever path fired, a single summary posts to #orders in Slack — total, items, ship destination, and validation outcome.
  • The ops team can scroll the day's orders without ever opening Shopify.
