What is a packing slip?

A packing slip is a document for warehouse picking and packing. It typically shows items, quantities, and shipping address — but not prices. Warehouse staff use packing slips to fulfill orders accurately.

  1. Go to PDF Invoices → Invoice Settings
  2. In the Templates section, find the Packing slip dropdown
  3. Choose Default, Basic, or Modern
  4. Check the Live preview — click the "Packing slip (HTML)" tab
  5. Click Save settings

Generate a packing slip for one order

  1. Go to WooCommerce → Orders
  2. Open the order you want to pack
  3. In the PDF Invoices meta box (order sidebar), click Packing Slip
  4. The PDF opens in a new tab — print or save it

Bulk print packing slips

  1. Go to WooCommerce → Orders
  2. Select multiple orders using the checkboxes
  3. From the Bulk actions dropdown, select Print Packing Slips
  4. Click Apply
  5. A combined PDF opens containing all selected packing slips

Attach packing slips to emails

If you want customers to receive packing slips by email (useful for some workflows):

  1. Go to PDF Invoices → Dashboard
  2. In the Setup Wizard settings or during initial setup, enable Attach packing slip to "Customer Processing" email
  3. Click Save changes

Note: Most stores keep packing slips internal (not emailed to customers). Only enable this if your workflow requires it.

Configure packing slip filename

  1. Go to PDF Invoices → Storage
  2. Find Packing slip filename pattern
  3. Edit the pattern (default: packing-slip-{packing_number}.pdf)
  4. Click Save changes
