Order Despatch

Mobile Order Despatch is designed for the new Open Orders screen to make order processing fast and easy. With a few clicks, you can print an invoice, shipping label, and mark the order as processed from the mobile scanner. To use mobile Order Despatch:

  1. Configure rules to define how the system should work with orders that you process in Linnworks > Settings > General Settings > Order Settings.
  2. Select a Printing Zone.
  3. Despatch orders.

To start processing orders, log in to the mobile app and go to Settings > Despatch. Scan your first order by order ID, SKU, Binrack, barcode (or any other product identifier), pickwave ID, or TOTE. In the new screen, you can see order details, edit shipping and packaging details, print invoices and shipping labels.

Please note! As soon as the shipping label is printed it is not possible to edit order details from the mobile application.

Once ready, process the order by tapping the Process button and scan the next order. If a Pickwave ID was scanned, then the next order from the pickwave will be opened automatically until all orders are despatched.
