Watch out for

Shopify enforces strict rate limits so you must implement exponential backoff to avoid being blocked during bulk operations.
Partial fulfillments require careful state management because marking an order as fully fulfilled when only some items are ready will cause API errors.
The fulfillment_order_id is mandatory for the modern API so omitting it will result in a 400 Bad Request error instead of using legacy methods.
Webhooks may fire before your automation completes processing so you should add idempotency checks to prevent duplicate fulfillment attempts.
