How to Print Orders by Location in Shopify

Efficient order management is a critical aspect of running a successful Shopify store, especially if you operate from multiple locations. With Printrooster Order Printing, you can streamline your operations by utilizing location-based features. This guide will walk you through the benefits and steps of printing orders by location in Shopify using Printrooster, helping you enhance your order fulfillment process.

How to Print Orders by Location in Shopify

Create Location-Based Packing Slips

Managing orders by location becomes significantly easier when you generate location-specific packing slips. To get started, navigate to the templates section in Printrooster Order Printing and create a new template in the packing slip section. These templates utilize fulfillment order data, meaning the packing slip reflects details for a specific fulfillment, even if an order includes multiple fulfillments.

This feature is particularly advantageous for stores shipping from two or more locations. Location-based packing slips ensure that customers receive shipment-specific information, providing greater clarity and enhancing their overall experience. Additionally, it allows you to maintain a professional brand image by tailoring documentation for each shipment.

Create Location-Based Printing Buttons

Streamline your operations further by setting up printing buttons tied to specific locations. To create these buttons, head to the buttons section in Printrooster and add a new button. If you plan to use fulfillment orders, ensure you select a packing slip button. Assign specific locations to each button in the button settings. If no location is selected, the button will appear for all locations.

After assigning locations, use the “Select location” dropdown in the top-right corner of Printrooster to choose the location you’re working with. Once selected, only the designated buttons for that location will be visible on the front page. This setup eliminates unnecessary options for your team, reducing errors and improving efficiency. It’s especially useful for businesses that manage high order volumes across multiple warehouses or retail outlets.

Print Orders by Location

Printrooster simplifies the process of filtering and printing orders by shipping location. Start by selecting the desired location using the “Select location” dropdown in the top-right corner of Printrooster. Once you’ve made your selection, all orders associated with that location will appear under the relevant printing buttons.

In cases where an order contains fulfillments from multiple locations, it might still appear when using general order buttons. To ensure you’re printing orders solely for the selected location, use packing slip buttons. These buttons are based on fulfillment order data, allowing you to focus exclusively on the shipments from the chosen location. This targeted approach minimizes confusion and ensures a smooth workflow.

Benefits of Location-Based Printing

Utilizing location-based printing offers numerous advantages for Shopify stores, including:

  • Improved Order Accuracy: By filtering orders by location, you reduce the risk of errors and ensure the right items are shipped from the correct location.
  • Enhanced Workflow Efficiency: Location-specific buttons and packing slips streamline operations, saving time for your fulfillment team.
  • Scalability: As your business grows and operates from additional locations, these tools make it easy to manage increasing order volumes without overwhelming your team.
  • Customer Satisfaction: Shipment-specific packing slips provide customers with clear and accurate documentation, improving their experience and building trust in your brand.

Maximize Efficiency with All Features

The best results come from combining all three methods: creating location-based packing slips for precise shipment details, setting up location-based printing buttons for targeted access, and printing orders by location to maintain an organized and streamlined workflow. By fully leveraging these tools, you can simplify the fulfillment process across multiple locations, reduce errors, and ensure your Shopify store runs efficiently.
