Help / Picking
Picking
Bin-sorted picking with camera or handheld scanning, barcode aliases, no-login picker links, printing, exporting, and the low-stock restock list.
The pick list is sorted by bin location in natural order (A2 before A10), then by SKU, so working the list follows a walk down your aisles. Without a bin metafield set in Settings, it falls back to a plain SKU sort.
Scan a barcode or SKU to check off units. Progress saves automatically, so you can close the tab and come back. Each line shows how many orders need the item and its available inventory, with a Low stock badge once you set a threshold.
If something is wrong with an item (short, damaged, on backorder), use the flag icon to record a reason. That marks every order needing it as an exception and keeps those orders out of fulfillment until you sort them out.
Barcode aliases
If you source a product from more than one supplier with different barcodes, register the extras as aliases in Settings. Any of them scans as a match while picking, packing, and receiving a return.
Camera scanning
Scan with camera reads barcodes with your device's camera. Browsers block camera access inside Shopify's embedded admin, so use it from a batch's picker link opened directly in a browser tab.
Picker links
Share picker link creates a link for one batch that works from any phone or tablet, with no Shopify account. Set it to expire after 24 hours, 3, 7, or 30 days, or leave it open-ended, and turn it off whenever you like.
Printing and exporting
Print pick list gives the classic printable layout. Export CSV and Export XLSX give the same bin, SKU, and quantity data as a spreadsheet. Add tags tags every order in the batch in Shopify at once.
Low stock and restock list
The Low stock page lists every variant at or below your threshold, broken down per location if you have more than one. The Restock list adds anything flagged short while picking in the last 30 days, and exports to CSV or XLSX for a supplier.
