Introduction
P2Lab Packing Slips replaces the manual checklist most Shopware shops use during fulfillment (“open order, read line items, walk the warehouse, hope nothing’s missed”) with a single admin modal that drives the whole process.
It is built for shops that ship physical goods and want to:
- Eliminate mis-picks by verifying every item against an EAN or manufacturer-number barcode before it leaves the warehouse.
- Speed up batches by consolidating identical SKUs across a batch of orders so you fetch them once from the shelf.
- Keep customers informed automatically by tying picking progress to Shopware’s order state machine — In Progress, Complete, Incomplete — with optional notification emails on each transition.
- Hand the courier a clean document — a packing slip per shipment that lists exactly what’s in the box, plus a consolidated pick list for the warehouse team.
What it is not
Section titled “What it is not”- It does not create a new database table or audit log of every scan. Picking is transient; the order’s final state machine state is what gets persisted.
- It does not replace Shopware’s native delivery / invoice document system. Those still work as before — Packing Slips ships its own PDF pipeline because the layout requirements (large photos, EAN columns, multi-order pick lists) are different from a transactional delivery note.
- It does not target the storefront. Everything happens in the admin.
Two workflows from one modal
Section titled “Two workflows from one modal”| Mode | When to use it |
|---|---|
| Order Picking | One picker at a time fulfills one or more orders end-to-end. You see each order with its line items and tick them off. |
| Batch Picking | You’re picking a wave of orders. The modal flattens all selected orders into a deduplicated item list grouped by product — you fetch each SKU once at its true total quantity, then pack at the bench. |
The default view is configurable per shop; pickers can also switch on the fly inside the modal.
Two PDF outputs
Section titled “Two PDF outputs”- Packing Slips — one slip per order, with ship-to / bill-to address, line items, optional payment method, shipping method and order summary. Designed to slip into the box.
- Items List — a consolidated pick list grouped by product across all selected orders. Designed to take to the warehouse.
Both can be printed together (Packing Slip per order plus a leading pick list) as a single merged PDF — what you do with it is up to your printer setup.
