How does Magento handle split shipments for an order?

Magento allows split shipments by permitting the shipment of parts of an order separately, which is particularly useful when products are in stock at different times or locations. When split shipments occur, Magento manages the logistics without needing to reconfigure the entire order or payment, resulting in a more flexible fulfillment process.

In this context, even though it allows for multiple shipments, the system consolidates the invoicing for the entire order at once. This means that customers receive one invoice for the complete order rather than separate invoices for each individual shipment, ensuring a simplified billing process and easier reference for both customers and merchants.

The other options highlight misunderstandings of Magento's capabilities regarding split shipments. For instance, stating that split shipments are limited to digital goods or only for orders with a single product is inaccurate as Magento allows multiple items in an order to be shipped separately, regardless of the type. Additionally, saying that Magento does not allow split shipments completely overlooks its flexibility in managing diverse product inventories and customer needs.
