Done-for-you packing slips and invoice PDFs for Shopify
Shopify Packing Slip Automation, Quietly Doing the Work
Shopify packing slip automation produces the right document for every order without anyone pressing print: a branded packing slip in Liquid, an invoice PDF for B2B buyers, a 4x6 slip for a label printer, and a copy sent to the warehouse or customer. Shopify lets you edit the packing slip template with Liquid but gives no drag-and-drop editor and no automatic PDF delivery, so we build the template and the delivery. From $290.
- Packing slip template designed in Liquid for your paper size and branding
- Invoice PDFs generated per order and sent to the customer or accountant
- Documents routed to the warehouse printer or inbox
- Test log and a recorded handover

Who this is for
Six Kinds of Store That Book Shopify Packing Slip Automation
Documents are small details that create daily friction. These are the cases we build for.

- Your orders come through Shopify
- You know roughly how the task runs today

Buyers and accountants want a PDF invoice. We generate and send it.

How We Build Your Packing Slips and Invoice PDFs Automation, Step by Step
Six stages, in order. Nothing touches live orders until you have seen it work on a copy, and your calculator choices decide how long each stage takes.
- 1
Brief and rules
The brief covers how packing slips and invoice PDFs works now, who is involved and what goes wrong. Each rule is written in plain words, such as: when an order is paid, then generate the invoice PDF and send it.
- 2
Access and platform
We ask for the smallest access that works, recommend a platform with its monthly cost and test the connection with a live read.
- 3
Map the data
The data map covers order number, line items, tax and billing address; formats are checked on both sides and blank values are given a rule.
- 4
Build in a copy
We build against test data, not your live orders, and show you the plan and a recorded run where it helps.
- 5
Test on real cases
We run a taxed order, a multi-item order and a refund, then refunds and edits, and verify each outcome against what the store shows.
- 6
Go live and hand over
When you say go, the workflow goes live. We watch the first runs and leave you notes, a diagram and a recorded walkthrough.

Inside every project
How We Protect Your Orders and Customer Data
Careful beats fast when orders and personal data are involved. These are the habits behind every build.
A written definition of done
A workflow is finished when it handles a taxed order, a multi-item order and a refund correctly and the results are logged.
Narrow access, in your name
We request only the permissions the workflow needs, and you own every account.
Build in a copy, never live
We never build on live data: the workflow is tested on test records and your real orders and invoices wait for your approval.
Nothing sent without approval
Every customer-facing message is reviewed with you first, then switched on.
Secrets kept in a vault
We store tokens and keys in a vault and never paste them into documents or messages.
Counts compared, not assumed
After any catch-up we compare counts with the source, so missing or doubled records are caught early.
Interactive price calculator

Why Store Design Expert
What You Get From Us That a Template Does Not
You are paying for judgement and for a result you can inspect, not for hours.
A price you can plan around
You see the cost and extra days for each choice in the calculator. Platform fees are separate, and we estimate them for you.
Tested on your real cases
We check against your own cases, like a taxed order, a multi-item order and a refund.
Safety designed in
Every build includes retries, alerts, unique keys and narrow access; none are paid extras.
A direct line to the builder
You talk to the person working on your workflow, and questions about a rule or field get a plain answer.
Experience since 2015
A decade and more than 450 stores later, few automation quirks are new to us.
We live inside Shopify
We work with Shopify orders, refunds, edits and metafields daily. That depth is separate from knowing an automation tool's interface.
What we need to get started
Getting Started: What We Ask For
Three things get the work moving: safe access, a few answers and a decision-maker. Here is the detail.
Approve a collaborator request
Already trading? Share the store address and accept our collaborator request. You remain the owner, we see only what the role allows, and you can remove us whenever you like.
Starting from nothing? We build first
We can start in our own Partner account, set up the store and the workflow, then transfer ownership to you. A Shopify plan is chosen at the end.
Or share a staff login
A staff account is an option. The collaborator route is still better, as it can be cancelled instantly and involves no shared password.
Access to the other tools
You can invite us to each connected tool, or we can open accounts with your email. Either way, ownership is yours.
Examples of the work today
Two or three recent cases are enough. They show us how the process runs in practice.
A decision-maker
Tell us who approves the rules and the test, and what should happen when two rules disagree.
Your Shopify owner password and card details never reach us. Changes are made in a copy, and we note every setting we touch.
