Powerful warehouse management features to keep orders moving
Mobile picking boosts efficiency
Keep pickers moving and managers informed. With assigned batches on their devices, your team confirms quantities on the spot.. When something comes up, they can pause and resume without losing progress, flag exceptions like low stock or substitutions, and count on overpicking prevention to stop extra scans. Pick-to-tote helps them fill more orders accurately, while picking statuses show managers where every order stands. Mobile lets you get 30-40% increase in labor efficiency compared with printed pick lists.
Get orders right at the packing station
Accurate packing is what customers remember. At the packing station, staff scan a barcode on a product, packing slip, or order number to pull up the right shipment instantly. Scan to verify then confirms that the SKU, quantity, and order match as each item goes in the box, and you can set rules so a label only prints once everything checks out. Custom packing slips give packers a clear reference for every order, and a guided process helps new team members pack accurately from day one. You’ll get fewer mis-ships and returns, and more repeat customers.
Custom pick lists and packing slips, built your way
Make every document work harder for your team and your customers. Use the easy HTML builder to design custom pick lists and packing slips with your branding, warehouse locations, return instructions, and handling notes, and check your work with a live preview. Liquid templating shows extra details only on the orders that need them, and barcodes make scanning fast and accurate. Add serial numbers to orders and the scan page for easy tracking. Clear, consistent documents help packers verify every box at a glance and get it right the first time.

Warehouse Management System integration
ShipStation connects seamlessly with your warehouse management system (WMS) so you can run fulfillment the way that fits your operation. Use a Shipping-focused workflow if you want your WMS to handle picking and then send ready-to-ship orders to ShipStation for labels and tracking. Or choose a Pick-Pack workflow. Orders flow from selling channels into ShipStation, then sync into your WMS for picking. Your WMS updates pick and pack status, respects warehouse assignments, and keeps shipment details in sync.
Inventory warehouses adapt as you grow
Your network of locations will evolve as your business grows. ShipStation makes it simple to keep your Inventory Warehouses aligned every step of the way. Link each warehouse to a Ship From Location so orders route to the right site automatically. When you add a new facility, change 3PL partners, or consolidate inventory, you can update or swap these links in just a few clicks. This keeps inventory assignments clean, prevents orders from shipping out of the wrong location, and ensures your fulfillment footprint stays accurate. No more juggling spreadsheets.
Warehouse data where staff need it most
Help staff find the right bin on the first try. ShipStation lets you display warehouse location data from your selling channels or product records directly on packing slips. Location codes appear next to SKUs so pickers know exactly where to go. You can also print internal inventory locations, giving teams a consistent way to follow directions across buildings. Less wandering leads to more efficient pick, pack, and ship workflows every single day
