Is it right for my business?

It pays off once more than one person is packing, you carry enough SKUs that grabbing the right items matters, and packing happens in one spot rather than wherever you're sitting. That's roughly a few hundred orders a month and up. Below that, click-to-print on its own will probably do it.

How much does this cost?

Pick and pack is available with Shippo's Pro and Premier plans. See plans and pricing at goshippo.com/pricing.

What do I need to set up?

Three things, and none of them take long. Install Shippo Print so Shippo can reach your printer. Then go to Settings -> Printing, set your label print initiation to scan-to-print, and turn on order barcodes for your pick lists and packing slips. Last, set up package templates and rate defaults so orders arrive with dimensions, weight, carrier, and rate already applied. That's what lets a scan carry all the way through to a printed label without stopping.

What kind of scanner and printer do I need?

Most scanners on the market are compatible. Any barcode scanner that operates in keyboard emulation (HID) mode and can read Code 128 barcodes will work. Most retail and warehouse scanners support this by default. For printers, thermal label printers and standard desktop inkjet or laser printers both work.

Can I use more than one printer?

Yes, in two ways. You can connect more than one printer at a single computer through Shippo Print preferences, then set one default for labels and another for documents like pick lists and packing slips. Using the same printer for both works fine, too. And if you have more than one packing station, each one gets its own Shippo Print install with its own printer, and scan-to-print works independently at each.

Breeze through peak season

Less time on every order

A simple scan pulls up the order and prints the label. No more searching for orders and matching labels by hand.

Fewer mis-ships

Pick lists get the right items off the shelf. Packing slips confirm what belongs in each box before it's sealed.

Reduce WISMO

Orders that arrive complete and on time mean fewer support emails, fewer replacements to cover, and more repeat customers.

All your orders. All set.

Everything happens inside Shippo, so store orders import and land ready to pack. Nobody needs to manually select the box, enter a weight, or decide on the best carrier and rate. It's all handled.

The right box, without anyone choosing it

Save the boxes you actually ship in, then set a rule for which one to use and when. For example, if the order has a poster in it, use the tube mailer. If it's a single T-shirt, use the 5x5x5 box.

The right carrier and rate, already selected

Set a default once and Shippo applies it to every order. Pick “Best” for the balance of cost and speed, or “Cheapest” when price is what matters. Or you can set one carrier as your default.
