As your order volume grows, manual picking gets slower and mistakes add up. QuickPack pick lists generate a clear, organized list of every item your team needs to pull, right from the Orders page.
Select your orders, configure how items are grouped, and create a printable pick list in seconds.
Create a pick list
To create your first pick list:
- Go to the Orders page in the Shippo web app.
- Select the orders you want to include using the checkboxes on the left.
- Click Pick list in the top action bar.
- In the right-side panel, configure your pick list settings.
- Click Create pick list.
Configure your pick list
When you create a pick list, you can customize how items are grouped and displayed.
Pick list grouping
- By items — groups all items across orders (best for bulk picking)
- By orders — keeps items separated by order
- By items and orders — a hybrid view
Item details
Sort items by:
- Name (alphabetically)
- Quantity (ascending)
- SKU (only available if Show SKUs is selected)
Optional:
- Enable Show SKUs
- Save your preferences for future pick lists
What happens next
After you create a pick list, Shippo generates a printable pick list based on your configuration.

Good to know: Pick lists can include up to 1,000 total items or 100 orders. Pick lists only include item details from order line items. If your order uses customs items (for manually created or CSV-imported international orders), those items won't appear on the pick list. You can update your default pick list settings anytime under Settings > Printing > Pick lists. Selecting Don't show configuration next time saves your preferences for future use. |
Set default pick list preferences
If you regularly use the same settings, save them so they apply automatically whenever you create a pick list.
Go to pick list settings
- Go to Settings in your Shippo dashboard.
- Click Printing.
- Select the Pick lists tab.
Update your defaults
From here, you can set the same grouping and item detail options described above, plus how the configuration step behaves:
- Toggle Show configuration every time:
- On — you'll review settings each time you create a pick list
- Off — pick lists are created using your saved defaults
Click Save to apply your changes. Your settings now apply automatically whenever you generate pick lists from the Orders page.
FAQs
When should I use each pick list grouping option?
- By items — use this to bulk pick similar items across multiple orders. It's the most efficient option for high-volume picking.
- By orders — use this when picking and packing one order at a time, with each order's items grouped together.
- By items and by orders — use this hybrid workflow when you bulk pick items but still need order-level visibility, like when orders split into multiple shipments.
Why does my pick list look different than expected?
Pick list layout depends on your grouping selection. "By items" combines quantities across orders, "By orders" separates items by order number, and "By items and by orders" may include extra details like shipment splits. If the format looks off, check your grouping settings when you create the pick list, or under Settings > Printing > Pick lists.
I don't see the "Pick list" option. What should I do?
- Make sure you're on a Pro or Premier plan.
- Confirm you're on the Orders page.
- Select at least one order using the checkbox.
If no orders are selected, the Pick list option won't appear.
Why are some item details missing (like SKUs)?
Item details depend on your configuration and store data. Enable options like Show SKUs in your pick list settings to include them.
How do I change my default pick list settings?
Go to Settings > Printing > Pick lists. From there, you can set your default grouping, customize item details, and choose whether to show the configuration step each time.
Why am I asked to configure the pick list every time?
This depends on your Show configuration every time setting. When it's on, you'll review settings each time you create a pick list. When it's off, your saved defaults apply automatically. Update this under Settings > Printing > Pick lists.
Is there a limit to how many orders I can include in a pick list?
Yes. Pick lists can include up to 1,000 total items or 100 orders.
