Packing

Introduction

Pack jobs are designed to pack already picked items into to boxes or bags. In addition, documents can be printed and added to the parcel . This part is especially relevant for ship-from-store orders as usually shipping labels and other documents are printed and added to the parcels here. Once orders are packed, they typically are stored for handover.

Please go to the Developer Docs for more information on creating pack jobs and managing pack jobs via API. Go to the Apps & Clients section for more guidance on using pack jobs in the apps.
