    Bypass Compliance/Fulfillment

    Suppose you use an integrated Compliance (WineDirect Compliance or ShipCompliant) and an integrated fulfillment provider with a direct integration (WineDirect Fulfillment or Copper Peak Logistics). In that case, you can mark SKUs you fulfill in-house so they are not sent to compliance and fulfillment with these settings.

    SKUs will be recorded in the order in WineDirect and will be sold, but the SKU information will not be passed into your compliance and fulfillment software.

    Once a product with a Bypass Compliance/Fulfillment setting has been purchased, it will always be excluded from web services on the order. You would have to remove the bypass setting on the Product, refund the order, and place a new order with the SKU in its non-bypassed state to send it to compliance and fulfillment.

    WD Fulfillment

    Allows you to control how the Product will be sent over to WineDirect. (Only appears if your WineDirect account is integrated with WineDirect fulfillment).

    • Send to Fulfillment Normally: If selected, this will control how the SKU will be sent to WineDirect. This function will vary slightly between bundles and non-bundle SKUs.
      • Wines, Products, etc. (non-bundles): The SKU will be sent over as a normal SKU.
      • Bundles: The bundle SKU will not be sent to fulfillment, only the subSKUs that make up the bundle so that WineDirect knows which wines to pack for the order. This would be used for bundles that are not prepackaged at WineDirect.
    • Send to Fulfillment/Compliance as Parent SKU: If selected, the bundle SKU will only be passed to WineDirect fulfillment, not the individual products that comprise the bundle. This allows you to deplete the individual wine inventory in WineDirect still while selling prepackaged GSETS* at WineDirect. (Only appears on Product Bundle/Set product types).
    • Send to Fulfillment as SPCL**: You can send non-bundle products to WineDirect with an SPCL note in the Order Notes so that the order is held in WineDirect fulfillment and lets the fulfillment team know that there is action needed for this SKU, such as custom packaging.

    *GSETs are prepackaged bundles picked, packed, and stored at WineDirect fulfillment.

    ** WineDirect uses SPCL for orders needing special fulfillment attention, such as holiday orders, special packaging, etc.
