How do I print a ShipStation packing slip with a barcode?

If you are a ShipStation user, you would print the Packing slips from ShipStation.

ShipStation allows you to add a barcode to the Pick List/slip.

IMPORTANT!

Knowing which version of the Finale Inventory mobile scanner application you are running on your handheld device will determine what the value of the barcode on the packing slip must contain.

If you are running the Finale Inventory mobile app version v12175 or greater you can use the default ShipStation barcode on the packing slip, which is [Barcode].

If you are running the Finale Inventory mobile app version v12174 or below, it is key that the content of the barcode is the actual Order Number.  ShipStation calls this the [Order #] field.

We strongly recommend updating the scanner to v12175 or greater and using the [Barcode] value.

How do I know what version my scanner is running?

Step 1

After you log into your ShipStation account, go to your settings, then choose packing slip

Step 2

Choose to edit the packing slip.  If you only have a default packing slip, you'll need to make a copy and then edit the copy.  The default does not allow edits.

Step 3

Add the html code to the template so it will print the barcode., copy/paste the following into the last line of the footer section template:

<p align="center"><barcode size="small">[Barcode]</barcode></p>

The size of the barcode can be changed by changing "small" to a different value, like x-small, large, etc.

If you are NOT using v12175 or greater on the barcode scanner, you will need to replace [Barcode] with [Order #] (shown below).
