Overview

The Orders settings page in Lister controls your packing slip header image and footer text, auto-archiving of shipped orders, requirements for box selection in Pack Mode, and your picking profiles in Link.

This guide outlines each option in the Admin>Orders settings page.


Table of Contents


How to Access Orders Settings

Orders settings are in the admin section of Lister. Only admins and custom roles with access to manage Orders settings can view and edit these settings.

  1. Click the gear icon in the top right navigation menu of Lister to go to Admin Settings

  2. Click “Orders” under the “Inventory, Shipping and Printing” section in the left navigation menu


Overview Of Orders Settings

Below is a brief outline of each section of this page, followed by further details on what each function controls.

  1. Auto-Archive Orders After Shipment: Automatically hide orders on the Orders page after completing shipments

  2. Packing Slip Header Image: Choose between using the marketplace logo or your own custom image on printed pack slips

  3. Packing Slip Footer: Default footer text to appear at the bottom of printed pack slips

  4. Order Packing (Require box selection): Toggle on to require a box selection in Pack Mode before a teammate can confirm the order

  5. Save: Click to confirm any changes to the orders settings

  6. Picking Profiles: Create, edit, or delete picking profiles for use in Link’s order picking tool


Auto-Archive Orders After Shipment

Note: Upright Labs recommends leaving this setting toggled ON.

When this is on, creating a shipment will archive the order and hide it from appearing on your orders page. Archived orders can still be searched for by using the search tool on the orders page.


Packing Slip Header Image

This tool allows you to switch between using the marketplace logo (eBay, Shopgoodwill, or Shopify) on printed pack slips or your own custom image.

Note: For best results with custom images, we recommend using an image that's 50px tall and at least 300 PPI.

How to Add A Custom Pack Slip Image

  1. Click “Custom Image”

  2. Click the “Upload image” button

  3. Upload your logo in the pop-up box

  4. Click the blue “Upload” button

  5. Click the blue “Save” button


Packing Slip Footer

  • This text will show up at the bottom of your packing slips. This is a great way to share more information with customers about your organization! (see example below)

  • If you do not intend to add pack slips to your orders, no need to fill this in

💡Operational Tip: Save ink and paper by keeping the packing slip footer short.

Print a packing slip from the orders page to see what the footer looks like.

Order Packing

When toggled on, this requires your packers to select shipping boxes in addition to confirming items in Pack Mode.

Picking Profiles

Picking profiles are used to create customized lists for Digital Picking that match the specific operational processes of your department. Picking profiles created here will be available in Link for all users.

Bulk Order and Pick List Unlock

Pick Lists created in Link are locked until midnight, allowing your pickers time to pick as many items as possible. Any remaining items will be unlocked for picking the next day.

  • Unlock All Orders and Pick Lists: This will unlock all orders and pick lists, making all orders available for new pick lists. In most situations, you won't need to use this, as orders unlock each day at midnight

  • We recommend training your pickers to close out of any existing picking sessions on Link before bulk unlocking orders and pick lists

  • This will also mark the orders as "Packslip not printed"

    • We recommend you finish picking and shipping any printed pack slips before using this feature
