If you are using an integrated Compliance (WineDirect Compliance or ShipCompliant) and/or an integrated fulfillment provider with a direct integration (WineDirect Fulfillment or Copper Peak Logistics) you can mark SKUs that you fulfill in house so that they are not sent to compliance and fulfillment with this settings. SKUs will be recorded in the order in Vin65 and will be sold but the SKU information will not be passed into your compliance and fulfillment software. Once a product with a Bypass Compliance/Fulfillment setting has been purchased it will always be excluded from webservices on the order. You would have to remove bypass setting on the product, refund the order, and place a new order with the SKU in it's non-bypassed state to send it to compliance and fulfillment. Using the Bypass Compliance/Fulfillment will not send the SKU to both your compliance and fulfillment provider not one or the other.
