Shopify Adds Time-Based Filters for Order Fulfillments

Shopify’s July 2025 update makes it easier than ever to retrieve and manage order fulfillment data. With the new filters based on created at and updated at timestamps, developers and merchants can now pull fulfillment records tied to specific timeframes no more wading through every order.

Why This Matters

1. More Targeted Fulfillment Feeds
You can now fetch only fulfillments in a specific timeframe ideal for syncing in daily batches or rebuilding fulfillment history.

2. Avoid Manual Filtering
No need to retrieve all fulfillments and filter client-side. This saves bandwidth and simplifies code.

3. Consistent with Other Admin APIs
The syntax matches other Order filters, so if you’re already using created_at or updated_at elsewhere, implementation is straightforward.

Bottom Line

This update may seem small, but it’s powerful especially for merchants and app developers maintaining sync between Shopify and external systems. Instead of bulk-fetching every fulfillment, you can now be surgical and that equals cleaner code, faster performance, and fewer API calls.
