Step 2: Change fulfillment settings

In Checkout, there are smaller categories to make it easier for users to use. Scroll down and find the section named Order processing. The Order processing includes three stages of settings, however, in this topic, I will focus on the second one which is After an order has been paid. By default, it is Automatically fulfill only the gift cards of the order. You have to change it into Do not automatically fulfill any of the order’s line items which stays on the third place of the options list.

Step 3: Save the update

After changing, remember to save all changes. There are two ways to record it. In the first one, you can scroll down to the end of the settings and click Save. However, it is quite time-consuming to do it that I recommend you to do the second way. After changing, a message of unsaved changes will appear on the head of the page, press on the Save button to end the action.
