Migrating Shopify fulfillment to a 3PL: a 14-day playbook
Migrating Shopify fulfillment to a 3PL takes 10–14 business days when done right: 2 days for contracts and integration setup, 3 days for inventory audit and physical transfer, 2 days for WMS reconciliation, 2 days for pilot dispatch, and a full cutover in week three. Done well, customers see zero disruption and tracking improves on day one.
