Explains ShipStation's Scan to Batch feature and how to use it.
The Scan to Batch feature allows you to scan the Scan to View barcode to quickly add additional orders to a batch. This feature is available when viewing an open label batch in ShipStation.
-
Create a New Batch or Open an Existing Batch
-
Click the Scan to Batch button.
-
Scan the Scan to View barcode on your packing slips to add it to the batch.
Each scan will add the order to the batch and allow you to immediately scan the next barcode without any additional steps.
To use Scan to Batch in ShipStation's Legacy layout:
-
Create a New Batch or Open an Existing Batch
-
Click the Scan to Batch button.
This will open the Barcode Scan Search pop-up.
-
Select the status of the orders you wish to add to the batch (the default is Awaiting Shipment).
-
Scan the Scan to View barcode on your packing slips to add it to the batch.
Each scan will add the order to the batch and allow you to immediately scan the next barcode without any additional steps.
If an order already exists in a batch, a pop-up will appear asking if you want to move the order to the open batch or exclude the order from the open batch.
Alternative Method for Scan to Batch
The Other Actions > Barcode Search action also provides the ability to add orders to a batch (either a new batch or existing batch). This method can use the Scan to View barcode as well as Order # barcodes. Choose the option that best fits your workflow needs!
