Shopify printing

Settings → Shopify printing shapes the packing slip PDF that Assemblified adds to Shopify’s Print menu — Packing slip with BOM details. See Shopify admin extensions for where that slip is printed from; this page is what goes on it.

Three sections: what the slip shows, how a multi-order print is combined, and the footer.

Packing slip display options

Each switch adds something to the slip. Show SKU column and Show company info on PDF are on out of the box; the rest are off.

Switch	What it adds
Show SKU column	The SKU column in the material tables and in the other-items table
Show unit cost	The cost per unit for each material
Show selling price	The selling price per unit for each material
Show total cost	Unit cost × quantity for each material
Show total price	Selling price × quantity for each material
Show material notes	Each material’s notes field, as the last column
Show original item price	The BOM section price, and a price column for non-BOM order items
Show weight	Each component’s line weight, plus a total weight
Show material images	Each material’s image as a round thumbnail in the first column, not a full-size product photo
Only print unfulfilled items	Skips line items that are already fulfilled. A partially fulfilled line prints only the remaining quantity.
Show order notes	The Shopify order note, in a full-width section above the item tables
Group by subassembly	Lists each assembly BOM’s materials under its own bold title, instead of merging everything into one list
Show checkbox column	An empty checkbox as the last column of every table, so the slip can be ticked off as a packing checklist
Show company info on PDF	Your company address and contact details, from Company

Bulk packing slip printing

When you select several orders in the Shopify orders list and print, Bulk print mode decides what comes out:

Separate slips — one packing slip per order, one after another in a single PDF. This is the default.
Merged slip — all the selected orders summed into one consolidated slip, with quantities combined. The slip keeps its structure: one section per bill of materials (with the number of kits ordered) plus an Other items table for the lines that are not a BOM.
Merged item list — all the selected orders summed into one alphabetical list. Every BOM is broken down into its components, the components and the ordinary order lines are added up per item, and there are no sections. Four kits that each contain a pear, plus an order line for two more pears, print as one row: Yellow Pear 6.
Merged item list per order — the same alphabetical item list, but one per order, one after another in a single PDF. Each list is added up from its own order only, headed with that order’s number (and its note, when Show order notes is on), so nothing from one order ends up on another order’s list.

Separate is the packing mode: one sheet per parcel. Merged slip is the picking-run mode when you assemble kit by kit: it tells you what goes into each box. Merged item list is the shopping-list mode: it tells you how much of each item you need in total for the whole batch, which is what you buy or pull against. Merged item list per order is the packing counterpart: one sheet per parcel, but already broken down into the items that go in it. Both item lists ignore pick locations and the Group by subassembly option (there are no sections to group), print cost and price columns from the material’s unit values rather than from the order lines, keep every BOM line note on an item (joined, since there is no section to tell them apart), and are also used when you select a single order in the orders list. Because ordinary order lines sit in the same table, the total weight is only shown when every row has a weight.

Free text printed at the bottom of every slip — return instructions, a thank-you line, a VAT note.

The editor supports bold, italic, left/centre/right alignment and a fixed set of text colours. The first line is printed as a larger title in the footer, so put the heading on its own line and the detail underneath.

Preview while editing

The sample packing slip updates as you change display options, the bulk print mode or the footer, before you save. It uses sample orders and your saved company details and logo. On desktop, the controls and preview remain side by side as you work through the settings. You can enlarge the preview without losing your edits.

The sample includes partly fulfilled items and nested components so you can inspect those options. Discard restores the saved settings and their preview. Page breaks can differ in the downloaded PDF.

Saving

Everything on this page is one form. Changes are held until you press Save on the bar that appears, and leaving with unsaved edits asks first.

If saving fails, your edits stay on the page with an error so you can try Save again. A preview update does not mean the settings have been saved.
