The short answer

In Shop Manager, go to Print Order in the settings, name the document Packing Slip and turn Prices off. Then tick your orders and click that button in the order list. You get one document with one order on each page, up to 100 orders at a time. It prints from your browser, it is free, and you do not need a PDF plugin.

Diego's story

Sells coffee gear with his brother. Diego is a made-up example.

Diego and his brother sell coffee gear. Every morning they print a slip for each box.

So Diego opens an order and prints it. He goes back, opens the next one and prints that. On a busy day this takes longer than the packing.

Then a customer writes to him. "I sent that grinder to my sister as a gift. The slip in the box showed her what I paid."

Diego looks at the paper in his hand. It is the normal order sheet, and the prices are right there on it.

Sound familiar?

  • You open and print orders one at a time.
  • Your packing slips show prices you would rather hide.
  • Some of your orders are gifts.

Here is how to do it

  1. Name your document

    Open the Shop Manager settings in WordPress and click Print Order. On the General tab, change Document Title from Order to Packing Slip, and choose your paper size. The button in your order list takes this name.

    Diego does this once and never has to look at it again.

    The Print Order settings with the Print Order menu item, the General tab and the Document Title field marked, and a preview of the page beside them
    Print Order, then General, then Document Title. All three are marked.

  2. Take the prices off

    Click the Content tab and turn Prices off. Prices and totals disappear from the page, and the preview shows you the change straight away. Product names and quantities always stay. Click Save Changes when it looks right.

    Content, then the Prices switch, then Save Changes. All three are marked.

  3. Tick the orders and print

    Open Orders in your dashboard and click Processing. Tick the orders you are packing. Then click the button with your document name, which is Packing Slip here. All of them open in one document in a new tab, with one order on each page, and the print window opens by itself. You can print up to 100 orders at a time.

    Diego ticks the morning orders and clicks Packing Slip.

    Click Processing, tick the orders, then click Packing Slip. There is no button called Print: it takes your document name.

  4. Put one in each box

    Each page has the order number, the delivery address, and the items with their quantities. If a customer chose options for a product, those show under the item too. You can turn these parts on or off on the Content tab.

How Diego's story ends

The next morning Diego ticks the orders, clicks one button and takes the pile from the printer. His brother packs. The grinder for the next gift goes out with a slip that says what is in the box, and nothing about what it cost.
