WIth one click, we would like to send a 8.5x11 packing slip print job and a 4x6 label print job to two separate printers. Is there any technical reason why this can't be an option in the future? We really would like 1 - 4x6 label and 1 - 8.5x11 packing slip to pop out per shipment. As of today only the shipping labels print, and then we have to manually print out each packing slip 1 at a time and then match them up. We can print both shipping label and packing slips with one click to the 4x6 printer if we choose that option but the packing slip is too small to read and there isn't enough room really. (full page packing slips are best)

Thanks for implementing this but this works for labels only. Is there any way to have packing slips print automatically as the orders come in?

We also would like to use this for packing slips only. Is there any chance you can extend this feature to packing slips? Thanks!

This is nice, but we were really hoping for automatic printing of packing slips rather than shipping labels. Ideally this would be an automation rule and could be printed to ShipStation Connect or Google Cloud Printers. Thanks!

We were also hoping for automatic packing slip functionality

Same here regarding auto packing slip printing, it should have been implemented.

Same here regarding auto packing slip printing - I don't need to auto print labels. Thanks!

Not sure how this is set as completed? The answer is labels when the question was packing slips. The Quickship printing is the best. However when an order is imported into Shipstation i believe the question is : As a part of the automation of orders can this trigger a printing of packing slips so low level pickers can just grab a sheet of paper off the printer and start packaging up the order. This person was hoping for two packing slips automatically. That would be next level automation. I think a ton of people voted for this but it is not active yet to my knowledge. Please reactivate this issue. I want this feature for Saturday or Sunday guys that cannot even click a button in the software. I know it seems silly but papers sitting on a printer would be awesome. Thanks for the consideration.

It'd be awesome if every time ShipStation loads in new orders from a selling channel (i.e. Etsy), it would auto-print a shipping label using ShipStation connect. This would make it easier to keep track of how many orders need fulfilled.

Hi! So, to clarify, you would like to have an automation process to have ShipStation automatically send a print job to the printer to print out the packing slips once an order imports into ShipStation?

  • September 14, 2016
Yes. We have a DYMO 4XL printer that's connected to the computer (which is always on) and on ShipStation Connect. When orders import, if they automatically printed their packing slips, it'd be super awesome :).

This would be great!

This is such low hanging fruit - come on ShipStation. Order comes in -> packing slip auto prints via ShipStation Connect -> warehouse received packing slip -> picks and packs order. This would require such minimal development effort given the infrastructure already in place, and is a no brainer in terms of necessary functionality. Is this being worked on? Is anyone listening? Please respond.

I don't think it's necessary to over-complicate this process. Whenever an order comes in - the packing slip auto-prints to the designated ShipStation connect printer. If orders are printing overnight / over the weekend they can be picked up off the printer first thing Monday.

Give us the all the options. Personally, I'd prefer that when I create labels, the packing slip AND the shipping label print automatically on the printers (different) I have specified. But give us the option to have it print then, or automatically as soon as the order comes in. I might try that option. So when I walk in to my office to process orders, the packing slips are already printed. I grab them, prepare the boxes, then create the shipping labels with the boxes already prepared.

'@ShipStation My understanding is to have the order automatically print as long as ShipStation Connect is running (There doesn't have to be an active user using ShipStation.com in Google Chrome, for example).

  • October 10, 2016
'@ShipStation I'd rather have the order automatically print as soon as it comes in (ie, Sunday at 4 am), so when I go to work on Monday morning everything is already printed and waiting for me ready-to-go on the printer.

Yes, it should print when a new order is downloaded. Printing at 4am or whenever is not a problem. The point, really, is that whenever the shipping staff is in next, the new orders are sitting on the printer ready to go. Upon manually initiating a store download, it should also print any new orders on the spot without needing to select and print them manually. Again, it would also need to have an indication that the order has been printed somewhere as well, to make sure nothing is missed even if there was some error or something preventing the printing of an order.

  • October 12, 2016
It would be great if the packing slips printed immediately.

  • October 17, 2016
We need this feature! Please shipstation, it will help us keep checking for orders that comes in and avoid duplicate of printing labels.

  • October 17, 2016
Everytime an order comes in it will automatically print the packing slip.

  • October 18, 2016
Other users have already mentioned it, but I'd like to have the packing slips and labels automatically print when I press the "Create Labels" button with Quickship enabled. Having labels/packing slips automatically print as orders come in isn't something I would use right now, but it could be an option I will use in the future.

  • November 9, 2016
Yes, please automatically print orders whenever it comes in. This is a life changer not to have unskilled employees touching the computer

  • November 22, 2016
This should 100% be added in. Also have the option for only orders containing specific products.
