Print and Export Square Transfer Orders for Stock Transfers

My feature request is to allow users to have the ability to export or at least print Transfer orders from the Square Dashboard. I used to be able to print these before but recently, the way they are displayed changed and the transfers page's header blocks some items underneath it which can only be seen when scrolling down. When I try to print, it only prints what is shown on the screen since the rest of the items are hidden underneath the scrolling window. I need to be able to print these to include them with the transferred items to be used as a packing slip to verify that the quantities are correct. Please bring it back to the way it was!

this is such an important feature. we need to be able to print a transfer order to use as a packing list. It's very difficult to organize physical stock transfers without paperwork!

Adding to this feature request — Square Transfer Orders need better tools for printing, labeling, and shipping Multiple Boxes. Here are some ideas that would make stock transfers between locations much easier to manage.

Support for Multi-Box Transfer Orders

When a Transfer Order has too many items for one box, Square should let users split it across multiple boxes. A simple checkbox on the Transfer Order page would turn this on. Once enabled, you could add items like normal, then drag or assign each item to a specific box. It could appear as a divider line between the item list, and the Box Number can appear on the side of the list (centered between the specific list of items pertaining to the box)

The Transfer Order list view on the Square Online Dashboard should also show which orders have multiple boxes at a glance.

Print Box Labels from a Square Label Printer

Many Square sellers already use label printers with Square POS. Square should let us print labels for the outside of each box in a Transfer Order. Each printed label should show:

  • The Transfer Order number

  • The Destination Location (the store receiving the items)

  • The Source Location (the store sending the items)
  • Box number out of total boxes (e.g., Box 1 of 6)

  • How many items are inside that box

Right now, our business has a manual workaround.
We stick color-coded circle labels on the outside of each box. Each color represents a different Destination Location. Then we hand-write the Transfer Order number on the label. It works since we can quickly see where a box is supposed to go according to the color and we can see what Transfer Order it is because of the handwritten number, but it is slow and easy to mess up.

Letting us print this info from our label printer would save time and cut down on mistakes. Having the box number and total box count printed on every label also makes it easy to confirm at a glance that all boxes have arrived at the Destination Location.

Print Packing Slips for Each Box

Since Square would already know which items are in each box, it could also print a packing slip for each one. The team at the Destination Location could open a box, check the slip inside, and confirm everything is correct. This is much faster than checking items against one long master list. We can either print them using a regular printer, or with a Square Label Printer (maybe a 4x6 label).

Optional Master Packing Slip

Square could also offer a master packing slip that covers the full Transfer Order. This would list every item across all boxes in one document. It would be optional — helpful for record keeping, but not required for every transfer since the master list can be pulled up on the dashboard.

Choose How the Transfer Will Be Delivered

Not every transfer gets shipped through a carrier. Square should let users pick how items will be delivered:

  • Self-delivery — For sellers who drop off items themselves, like driving boxes from the Source Location to the Destination Location in their own car. No shipping label is needed. Just the printed box labels and packing slips.

  • Carrier shipping (UPS, FedEx, USPS, etc.) — Square could let users buy shipping labels right from the Transfer Order page. Or, if you already bought a label on your own, you could type in the tracking number so both the Source Location and Destination Location can follow the shipment.

Having the delivery method saved on the Transfer Order keeps everything organized in one place. Both locations can see how and when items will arrive.

Why This Matters for Square Sellers

Stock transfers between store locations should be simple. With better label printing, multi-box support, packing slips, and shipping options, Square could turn Transfer Orders into a complete workflow. Sellers could organize items by box, print labels, pack each box, choose a delivery method, and verify everything on the other end — all without leaving the Square Dashboard.
