Shipping Update: Troubleshooting a bug with the integration with BackerKit and Shopify (fulfillment). 7% of orders are failing for an unknown reason. As soon as that is resolved, books will start heading out.

Each project I aim to improve a piece of the process to make it smoother than the last one. I developed a digital library on Shopify before this project and consolidated every previous project into it. This gave me a single place to maintain all the files. You can always know you're downloading the latest from there. If you haven't checked out the library yet, here's a quick video to get you in:
To get all three previous crowdfunding projects consolidated and everyone uploaded was a herculean effort led by my friend Ella.
For this project, I was super excited to see BackerKit developed a Shopify integration. This would directly speed up the fulfillment process by connecting into the infrastructure already built. This would also add your digital products to the library!
The books are ready to go at the warehouse.
New packaging material was ordered to accommodate the extra corner protection and has arrived.
Now, I'm ready to start uploading the final details for this project into the system and have the books sent out. Unfortunately, I've hit a few errors with the integration. BackerKit support has been awesome, but we haven't solved the issue yet where 7% of orders in our test run are failing to transfer.
As soon as this is resolved, books will start heading out. I was hoping to send this update a few days ago with the announcement that the books have begun shipping, but decided I should do a quick update and let you know where we are. *shakes fist at technology*
I believe this is the last hurdle and we are unbelievably close. Good news is once this is resolved, the integration will already be built for the next project. I can improve something else that hopefully doesn't put up as many roadblocks!
