Print pending orders for fulfillment

Print pending orders for fulfillment

Is there a way to print pending orders for fulfillment? I see that I can print them when I click on each individual order, but is there a way to print all pending orders without having to individually select them?

Hi @nateyandbode,


Thanks for posting and happy to look into this for you.


In order to make sure i'm understanding, what website builder did you use to create your site (Wix, Weebly, GoDaddy, WooCommerce etc.)? Also, can you provide the URL to your website/page? Thank you!


Please let me know by replying in this thread. I'll keep an eye out for your response.

I built the site using Square/Weebly and my URL is nateyandbode.com. To clarify on my question - I'm looking for a way to print packing slips/order fulfillment for individual orders. I can export them without a problem, but I wondered if there was a way to print each order in a format I can use for fulfillment without having to export and reformat. I know Square is also used for restaurant/food service, so that made me think there is probably a way to print individual orders, but I wasn't sure if you need specific equipment to do that, rather than just a standard printer.

Hi @nateyandbode,

 

Thank you for your patience. I've looked into this with our Online Store Team and currently the ability to export/print in the individual capacity you are looking for is a feature request.

 

We definitely see how it could benefit your business model. Our teams are constantly looking through our seller's feedback to make necessary improvements, and we will be sure to let you know if anything ever changes or if new updates are released. 

Know that this topic was sort of covered by this one:

How can I print a packing slip for an order placed through my Square website

 

That walks me through how to generate a packing slip for a single order.

 

Here's our situation.  We are a non-profit booster club.  We load up our Square Online Store with 20+ items each season.  Our parents come in and buy one or more items over a short period of time.  In essence, we are taking orders and payment upfront.  We then hide the pre-order items from the store and collect the total ordered and any variations (color, size, etc).

 

I can easily get the order details so that we can send it off to our supplier.

 

Once the items come back to us, we need to package them up so that we can hand them out to the parents and players after practice.

 

While I can go into the 200-300 orders and one by one print a packing slip, this is less than efficient and is prone to errors or orders not being printed.  I was looking for a way to bulk print packing slips for all my online orders.

 

Some have mentioned using Shippo, but I don't need to ship anything.  All orders are for pickup.  I just need a way to create the packing slips so that we can include that in the bag for each order made.

 

I don't even mind if this is something that can be done through a 3rd party app/site/API for a fee.  Any idea how to accomplish this?

 

To be honest, it doesn't even have to be a packing slip, per se.  It could be a copy of the receipt, an order detail.  Anything that lists who bought it and what was purchased.

 

HELP!

 

Thanks.

Welcome to the Community, @ProsperETC 😊

 

It's not possible to do this right now, but I've moved your post to a similar thread so we can track feedback. Thanks for taking the time to post about your experience! 

Hi. I was wondering if there were any updates or workarounds on this topic? I'm still looking for a way to individually print orders for fulfillment. How do food service/restaurants use this platform to fulfill tickets? Thanks!

Hi there @nateyandbode

 

Thank you for following up on this. Just to clarify, are you trying to print individual orders or are you still looking to bulk print orders? 

Hi! Sorry I missed your response previously. I'm looking to print individual orders, but multiple orders at one time. For example, print all pending orders, but print each of those individually. (One sheet of paper or one label, etc.) 

 

I'm also hoping there is a way to do this without notifying customers. Basically, I want a hard copy of the outstanding orders to be able to use as packing slips/fulfillment forms but doesn't notify the customer because it could still take me a couple days to fulfill custom orders.

Hey there @nateyandbode 👋

 

At this time Bulk order actions are still a feature request. I will pass your feedback over to the team for visibility and hopefully consider this in upcoming updates. 

Thanks for the update. Just out of curiosity, how does this work for restaurants and other food service venues? Don’t they have to print order tickets for fulfillment?
