📨 Order Fulfilment

This section outlines the fulfilment and activation process for both eSIM and physical SIM orders placed through the Shopify website. It’s important for CSRs to understand the customer journey, what happens automatically, what the customer needs to do, and where the CSR team gets involved. From automated emails and digital downloads to activation forms and manual processing, this guide walks you through each step so you can support customer inquiries, track orders correctly, and troubleshoot any issues efficiently. Please refer to this process whenever handling order-related questions or fulfilment tasks.
