For our wholesale customers, they require a PO number to be included on the shipping label.

We capture the PO in the "Notes from Buyer" field.

It'd be helpful if one could use an Automation Rule to selectively decide which "Notes from Buyer" fields should be added to the message field at the bottom of the label e.g. if "Notes from Buyer" contains "PO:" then add "Notes from Buyer" to "Message 1".

While we use the "Notes from Buyer" field currently, this may change in the future, and having the flexibility to build Automation Rules to drive what gets inserted into the Label Messages would be helpful

As an example, this is a related suggestion e.g. http://feedback.shipstation.com/forums/330429-product-feedback-fresh-ideas/suggestions/3810236-add-buyer-name-to-the-shipping-label-message.

We are currently using a plugin which is available through Woocommerce called product bundles which you can see here:

https://woocommerce.com/products/product-bundles/

This plug-in gives us the ability to sell bundles of different products though our site while being able to track each individual product within our inventory.

On the Wordpress front end we can hide each individual product on the email and check out so that if a person purchases a bundle they just see the bundle name and price. The whole time within the orders on the back end it still tracks each product within the bundle.

When we use ShipStation to print out the shipping label it doesn't allow us this option which makes the shipping label look very confusing.

Within the screenshot attached the user purchased 2 combo packs which you can see as the last two items on the label. But above all of that is whats included within said combo packs.

It would be great to have the ability to hide each specific product and just print out the combo packs themselves on the label since its getting confusing to some users.

I was hoping you can add the ability to make switching between custom 4x6 and 8x11 packing slips easier. Our store is mainly a daily deals type store but we also have thousands of different products so half of our sales are people ordering one quantity of one product and the other half of our orders is just like any other. It is important that we switch between the 4x6 printer and the 8x11 printer in order to make our daily workflow go smoothly.

We currently print the daily deals type orders on the 4x6 and regular orders on 8x11 but when you switch between the two, the packing slips get switched back to the default packing slips and I either have to go back to the selling channels view and reapply the correct invoice or do an "apply bulk action". I wish there was an easier way to switch between the two packing slips, for example just being able to set a custom packing slip as a "default."

We also sell through multiples channels like ebay and amazon and some channels require custom packing slips to have their logos on it and we have automation rules set up to automatically change packing slips to a certain type but since it switches back to default every time I change it, the automation rule pretty much disappears and can cause a potential problem.

We currently print 100 - 200 shipments a day and once in season will be printing 400 - 1000 shipments each day. We use a printer that has a cutter and have set the print driver to have the printer cut every other label. This works great until it hits a shipment that has enough line items so that the packing slip overflows to a second page. After that point, every label/packing slip is out of sync, with labels all attached to the wrong slips. This happens and creates a huge mess without warning.

If ShipStation allowed us to insert a cut command after each shipment, we could disable the driver cutting every other page, then when larger line item shipments come up, they would just be cut to whatever size they were and everything would be perfect...

Sometimes we process batches by **** a pick list, and then run 4x6 shipping labels and packing slips at the same time (so they come out together - we have all our inventory laid out from the pick list, and then work through the combined Packing Slip and Shipping Label...
HOWEVER, there are times we want to run Packing Slips for a batch, pick those to a separate tote for EACH order (all the items look the same visually - hard to sort them from a pick-list pile).
Under this style of process, we then weigh and print the Shipping Label. (We 'burn' the packing slip which also prints).
THUS - it would be nice to define Batch Process Style (or option in "Process Batch") were we can click if we want JUST Shipping Labels or BOTH Labels and Packing Slips.
This should be a fairly easily over-ride with a check-box (???)
Thanks!

Because this original request I made for this was closed when an unrelated feature was introduced, I'm creating a new one.

I would very much like to be able to have the automation in ShipStation be able to print. This would allow me to have it automatically print all new orders that have downloaded, so that warehouse personnel know an order has come in when the printer starts spitting out packing slips. This is something we're used to having in a different product we switched from to ShipStation and it's the main thing we miss. With printing being done through ShipStation Connect now, this should be entirely possible too.

The other thing that would have be added is another feature that ShipStation really does need anyway: an indication of some kind that an order has already been printed. This would allow automation to "print all unprinted orders" as well as greatly reduce the possibility of orders being double-packed when more than 1 person is working shipping. We've had this happen multiple times simply because there's no good way to tell when an order has already been printed right now.

Thank you!!

Please add a [PageNumber] tag support to the PackingSlip template design screen editor.

When printing a pack of 50 packing slips for 50 orders, it would be nice to have the ability to see the page numbers on the bottom of those printed packing slips. Each page would show up as 1/50 , 2/50, ... upto 50/50 . This is an important feature to have when printing many orders at once and also when dealing with multiple order batch printings.

Here are some good reasons to have page number support :

1) Each order can be easily recognized and organized in a priority numeric sequence
2) If the printer jams, you would immediately know which order got printed and which you still need to print again
3) If you have printout from 2 separate order batches, one where 50 orders got printed, and one where 40 orders got printed, you would easily be able to figure out which order batch a specific order belongs to when you simply look at the printout
4) For orders with many different items that a printout could fill more than 1 page, you can easily find out the different pages for that same order

This feature would benefit many ShipStation users. Please consider adding support for printed page numbers.

Thank you.

Hi there - we love Shipstation and are looking at ways to make our packing more and more efficient. We're in need of a different (smaller) sized packing slip (4x2) to fit on our packaging, while using a few of the variables that are available via Shipstation custom fields, Order information etc.
The current sizes available 4x6 and 8.5x11 could theoretically work if we manually cut them but its too much work when you are trying to run an efficient operation, especially since Zebra and other printer providers have so many different-sized labels already available
I think this can address a huge business case for us, as well as anyone else that uses more than 1 sticker on the package. Thanks and hope this is implemented soon.

Need a way to automatically print the commercial invoices (customs forms) when an international label is printed. This only currently affects UPS and FedEx since USPS is consolidated into the shipping label itself. However, having to leave the shipping area to go to shipped items and find the order then click the paper icon... employees sometimes forget this step which then creates an exercise in time management and phone calls to UPS/FedEx to fax the documents.

If we could have a setting on the labels like we do with "print label with packing slip" but print labels with customs forms" and be able to choose the 8.5x11 printer it would be perfect.
