It would be great if we could have the option for any of the barcodes generated in ShipStation to be set to the order number values and not the Quick Ship special character values. The order summary report that has barcodes for each order cannot be scanned by our WMS as the barcodes are a special ShipStation code and do not reflect the actual order numbers barcode. Having the ability to scan order numbers via barcodes would be great for overlapping systems. Thanks  ... View more

Hi there, We are advanced user with 3+ years ShipStaiton experience. In our operation, we pass the shipping and insurance costs to customer after label was generated. We apply insurance for higher value packages. However, insurance amount not add up onto freight costs at packing slip. Have reviewed these options at Packing Slip Field Replacements There is no variable for freight plus insurance costs. Would prefer total amount as field replacement option. That is going to make our life much easier.  ... View more

Would love to see this added to pick lists! We sell fabric and on the pick list it only shows the total quantity to cut. We need to know how much each person gets and who gets it first. We currently have to manually handwrite (or type) the breakdowns. Ex. The pick list shows quantity 8 over 5 orders. We need to know if it's 1, 2, 2, 2, 1 or 2, 2, 2, 1, 1 or any combo such as that.  At the very least if the order numbers could be in order I don't have to re-write them in order so we cut in order they came in. This was the same problem I had with pulling the pick list with summary turned off, it didn't stack in number order and would waste so much more paper. ... View more

Greetings, I would be REALLY nice when you're reinstalling for what ever reason... or because that's what support suggested that I do ( because it had an ORDER BY sql statement tagged to the bottom of the query that I could not remove)... I tried all of the things. After I reinstalled, and set the entire thing back up, the issue went away... and we were getting some ship done. Silly me, I thought that I could create a site with the EXACT same name and just have it be picked up. NOT. This was a hot mess for quite a while... as I had two sites with the same name that people were working through... Luckily, reporting and search will still work on the site's data after its been deactivated. (whew)   ... View more

Hi.  There used to be an option to long press the "print" options of an order to perform a task it is otherwise not automated to do using ShipStation Connect.  For instance, if a label that is routed to automatically print to a label printer needs to be downloaded or saved, a long press would bring up a sub-menu of options that included: preview in browser, download, print to another printer, etc. Currently, in order to download or save a single label (or any document, really) one must go into the SSConnect settings and change the routing, then save/download the label, then go back to settings and re-route it back to a label printer for further orders remaining. The long press option would/should be an easy option to reinstate.  Thanks  ... View more

Anyone shipping Internationally will want this. When using the Scan to Print feature, enable both Shipping Label & Customs forms to print at the same time when finishing a Scan to Verify & Print or Scan to Print order. At present it's label only. Customs forms (commercial invoices) can't be printed until the shipment tracking generates, so this usually means a trip to Shipments to run off customs forms afterwards. Not a great workflow when Customs Forms (Commercial Invoices) are usually adding at label time, either in a document pouch or inside the shipment package. ... View more

It is a huge issue in our warehouse to not have the vendor/brand/manufacturer listed on the packing slip. We have many products with similar names but different manufacturers. This is what we put in the "vendor" field on product pages in Shopify. I wish ShipStation could import this information, either as an option for a custom field, or as a variable we can add to emails and packing slips. ... View more

We'd like to have the Batch ID available as replacement field to add to the packing slip template to help us manage our batches and orders and verify that batches have been printed. We have run into issues (last week even) where an entire batch skipped printing and we weren't aware of it until customers started reaching out.   ... View more

ShipStation has a option to add a UPC in standalone product details. It would be helpful for multiple reasons to have the option to add this feature on a picklist in "Printer Settings - Picklist - Document Options". This would allow one or multiple marketplaces to import orders with a different identifier and have the possibility of having a "Master UPC" as a reference.     ... View more

We have ShipStation connected to Shopify and Walmart.com. When we get an order for Walmart, each order item appears on a separate line regardless of if the same item is ordered more than once. For example, if the same item is ordered 3 times, then it appears as three separate line times on the label with a quantity of x 1 for each.  However, when we print a label from Shopify, it groups the same item together and the quantity of that item changes to x 3 for example.  This is causing picking errors because people are expecting each line item on the label to be a quantity of one.  Is there a way to get Shopify orders to display each item on the label as their own line item even if the order quantity is greater than one? ...

We use a 4"x6" format for shipping labels and RS labels but 8.5"x11" for the packing slip. When we complete an order and print the shipping labels, we can't automatically print the print the packing slip, too, because it comes from a different printer.  I'd like to suggest ShipStation adds that as a capability. ...

It would be great if there was a way to print duplicate copies of the packing slip.  We print 2 copies, one for the shipping carton and one to keep as a hard copy.  Keeping the hard copy is a must for state or federal tax audits, which we went thru this year.    Secondly, it would be great if the packing slip document name could be edited to "invoice" instead. ...

Currently all UPS surepost labels that print from Shipstation cut out the recipient company name. This is highly inconvenient and risks packages not being properly delivered. Additionally, our other UPS labels are formatted to insert our order# at the bottom of the label. We use this for QC purposes. Without this, it makes our QC process more difficult. Seems like Shipstation tech team should just be able to shrink other components on this label to make room for both of the above-- please make this possible! ... View more

Some of my SKUs are longer than the 26 character limit in the "Label Messages" lines. Is there an option to have the overflow go to the next line? ... View more

We use our order # field for carton id numbers which is causing issues with each box being seen as an individual shipment vs. all boxes being a part of one shipment.  The ability to change that mapping would be very helpful. ... View more

We have a printer with multiple tray options It would be great to be able to choose paper type and allow the printer (HP M455) to select the correct tray for Labels, and for Packing slips (plain paper) Sending the "paper type" or "Tray number" in the requests would help have multiple printers, and options available so failure of a single printer would minimize downtime when having 2 identical printers with equal supply setups.  Especially in a busy warehouse. ...

I think it would be helpful on the Print Preview page to have a collate/non collate option. I really like having the two per page option that is great. However I print (2) ea. of my packing slips. One of course goes inside the box. The other I cutout the ship to as a temporary label after sealing the box.  When I print my actual mailing label this process confirms it is applied to the correct box. Default seems to be to collate only. So I have to reshuffle all my packing slips to pair them up before cutting them in half. It would help my work flow tremendously if on the Print Preview page I could click on collate or non collate. Thanks for your consideration Dan ... View more

Please could you expand the available [Field Replacements] to include each separate address element (line 1,2,3, city, postcode, country...), or even every separate input field for an order, and correctly document a complete list? While creating a custom packing slip, I've found that the documentation of available [Field Replacements] is incomplete. Eg. Using [Recipient Postal Code] or [Recipient City] both correctly return these sections of address data, despite not existing in documentation. I want to get each line of the address printed as its own field replacement, and have found undocumented field replacements that function to provide all but the "recipient address line x" lines and the full name of the country, mostly by checking the names of the input fields in ShipStation's browser source code and guessing the format of the required field replacement based on similar documented ones. I've since been told that the ones I can't find easily don't exist - but I've got myself into the difficult position of not fully trusting the support team's statement, as they didn't know about the fields I found before getting stuck. ...
