Packing slips 101

Learn about how packing slips work

Packing slips are an essential component of the order fulfillment process for ecommerce businesses. They provide a detailed breakdown of the contents of each order, and they help to ensure that the right products are shipped to the right customers in a timely and efficient manner.

Packing slips include the order number, customer name and shipping address, item quantities and descriptions, and any special instructions or notes related to the order. They are based on shipments, if they exist. If there are no shipments, then groups of items coming from the same warehouse are combined onto a single packing slip.

How to print packing slips

To print a packing slip for an individual shipment, it can be done from the shipment section on the order details page.

 

Alternatively, packing slips can be printed for the order details page that you're on or all selected orders.

By including information such as item descriptions and quantities, packing slips can help to reassure customers that they are receiving the correct products. They can also help to make returns and exchanges easier by providing a clear record of the items included in the original shipment.
