How do I complete Logentic launch readiness before go-live?
Last updated: May 20, 2026
Quick answer
Use this checklist to confirm the work your Shopify brand needs to complete before live orders start moving through Logentic.
Common use cases
- Brand owner: Track every readiness area before approving go-live.
- Operations manager: Assign setup work across Shopify, products, warehouse, shipping, automations, and inventory.
- Warehouse lead: Confirm the floor team can receive, store, pick, pack, ship, and escalate blockers.
When to use this
- Your brand sells on Shopify and is preparing to launch with Logentic.
- You need one complete checklist instead of separate articles in different collections.
- You want to know what proof Logentic or your internal team should review before go-live.
When not to use this
- You need Logentic to approve an account-specific launch decision.
- You are changing credentials, carrier billing, payment methods, or live inventory without an owner.
- You are troubleshooting one urgent blocker that already has a specific article.
At a glance
| What you are doing | What you need | Good result | Contact us if |
|---|---|---|---|
| Completing launch readiness before go-live. | Shopify admin, Logentic admin, product owner, warehouse lead, shipping owner, payment owner, automation owner, and launch owner. | Every required setup area has an owner, proof, and next article. | A step can affect live orders, live inventory, credentials, billing, shipping labels, customer messages, or the final go-live decision. |
Important: Do not treat this checklist as final launch approval. If any item affects live orders, sellable inventory, credentials, billing, or customer communication, confirm it with the right owner before continuing.
Before you start
- Confirm the target go-live date and who can make the final go/no-go decision.
- Confirm who owns Shopify, product data, warehouse setup, shipping settings, payment method, automations, inventory, and support escalation.
- Keep API keys, passwords, carrier credentials, card details, and webhook secrets out of screenshots and chat.
- Use the linked articles for detailed steps instead of guessing from this checklist.
Steps
| Step | Owner | Proof to review | Good result | Related article |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Account and team access | Brand admin | Required users can sign in and see the right workspace, warehouse, and role. | The right people can do their launch jobs without sharing one login. | Manage team access and warehouse roles |
| 2. Shopify preflight | Shopify admin | Store, locations, tags, order flow, and fulfillment ownership are understood. | The team knows what Shopify data Logentic should receive or update. | Prepare Shopify before Logentic setup |
| 3. Shopify custom app connection | Shopify admin | The custom app is created, permissions are reviewed, and credentials are entered only in the correct Logentic integration area. | Logentic has the approved access it needs, without sharing secrets in chat. | Connect Shopify to Logentic with a custom app |
| 4. Product data, SKUs, and barcodes | Product owner | Sellable variants have reviewed SKUs, barcodes, names, and required identifiers. | Products can be received, stored, picked, packed, and reconciled without identifier confusion. | Prepare product data, SKUs, and barcodes |
| 5. Warehouse map and layout | Warehouse lead | Warehouse record, zones, staging, storage areas, pick faces, and layout are reviewed. | Operators can understand where inventory should move and where work happens. | Prepare your warehouse before Logentic go-live |
| 6. Location labels | Warehouse lead | Physical locations have clear names and labels placed where operators will use them. | Receiving, putaway, picking, and counts can reference real locations. | Labels and aisle signs |
| 7. Hardware and packing stations | Warehouse lead | Printers, scanners, tablets or computers, Wi-Fi, label stock, packing material, and fallback supplies are checked. | The floor team can scan, print, pack, and recover from common hardware friction. | Set up hardware and packing stations |
| 8. Shipping carrier services | Shipping owner | Carrier services, label path, packaging choices, and service expectations are reviewed. | The team knows which shipping services to use and when to stop for help. | Configure shipping carrier services |
| 9. Shipping Wallet payment method | Payment owner | The payment method and wallet ownership are reviewed by the right person. | Shipping payment setup is understood before labels are created. | Add or update a payment method for the Shipping Wallet |
| 10. Initial automations | Operations manager | Order, communication, and return automation rules are reviewed before being used on live orders. | Automations support the launch instead of surprising operators or customers. | Automation options in Logentic |
| 11. Inventory and receiving readiness | Inventory owner | Opening inventory, receiving process, purchase orders, or count results are reviewed. | The team trusts the stock position before live demand starts. | Receive a purchase order |
| 12. First Shopify test order | Launch owner | A controlled test order is found, reviewed, picked, packed, labeled or externally shipped, and checked afterward. | The team has seen the full order path before live volume starts. | Run your first Shopify test order |
| 13. Go-live signoff | Launch owner | Each readiness area is either complete or assigned with a clear blocker. | The team has a go/no-go decision and knows how to escalate launch blockers. | Go-live readiness checklist |
Important: Test automation rules on safe examples before relying on them for live orders, customer messages, shipping decisions, or returns.
What good looks like
Your team can answer four questions clearly: what is ready, what is still blocked, who owns each blocker, and what should happen before the first live order is shipped.
Common issues and next actions
| If this happens | What to do next |
|---|---|
| Shopify access or app permissions are blocked. | Ask the Shopify admin to review the custom app setup and contact Logentic before guessing scopes or sharing credentials. |
| Products are missing SKUs or barcodes. | Pause product import and fix identifiers before receiving, picking, packing, or inventory review. |
| Warehouse locations are not labeled yet. | Finish the warehouse map and labels before treating the floor as launch-ready. |
| Carrier services or payment method ownership is unclear. | Assign the shipping or payment owner before creating labels on live orders. |
| Automations are not reviewed. | Keep automation rules inactive or limited until the owner confirms the trigger, conditions, and actions. |
| Inventory is not trusted. | Review receiving, opening stock, purchase orders, or count results before live fulfillment. |
| The test order did not complete cleanly. | Treat the failed step as a blocker and collect the order ID, SKU, warehouse, carrier, screenshot, expected result, and actual result. |
