Pick Lists are documents that list what items need to be picked from your warehouse and in what quantity.
Sample of ShipStation's Pick List
This pick list has all options enabled, is summarized by SKU, and items are ordered by # of items (most to least).
ShipStation's Pick Lists include:
-
Item SKUs

The date and time the list was printed
You can print a Pick List from several locations in ShipStation.
The Orders or Shipments tab is likely the most efficient option for printing a Pick List since you can select multiple orders or shipments, and all items will be included in the Pick List.
Select one or more orders or shipments, click the Print button, then choose Pick List.

ShipStation pick lists have a few customisation options, located in the Pick List Document Options.
Pick lists provide details about items in the selected orders including SKUs, Descriptions (Item Names from the orders), Warehouse Location, and quantity. Use pick lists if you need a list of all the items to pick for a set of orders, which you can then sort into their corresponding shipments later. The options for pick lists allow you to choose how your pick lists appear.
Pick List Document Options are account-wide settings.

When printing a pick list for an order or multiple orders, ShipStation will include all items on the selected order(s) on the Pick List, regardless of whether multiple shipments exist on the orders.
-
When printing a pick list for a shipment or multiple shipments, ShipStation will include only the items on the selected shipments. If additional shipments exist on an order, but are not selected when you print the pick list, those items will not be included on the pick list.
-
For product image thumbnails to appear on pick lists when that document option is enabled, the image URL for the product must either be present in the Product Record or have been included in the order data sent from the selling channel.
-
Enabling product images for pick lists may cause ShipStation to take longer creating the pick list when a large number of orders or shipments is selected.
