Every order can print a box label with a QR code on it. Stick it on the box. Anyone on the floor scans it with their phone camera. No app and no login.

Print a box label

  1. Open the order.
  2. Press the ⋯ menu at the top of the order.
  3. Under Documents, press Box label. The label opens in a new tab.
  4. Press Print label and stick it on the box.
The order menu open, with Box label under Documents.
Box label is in the order menu, under Documents.

The app can also offer the label when an order moves to To print. Pick what happens in Settings › Production › After the print, under Box-label printing. Choose Ask me whether to print the box label, Print the box label without asking, or Don’t print it. You also pick the paper size there: a 4×6 thermal label, regular Letter paper, or a 40×30 mm mini label.

What a scan shows

The phone opens a page for that order. It shows the status and the steps, a picture of each part (tap it to turn it in 3D), how many pieces are done, the target date, and delivery or tracking.

It never shows money. A box passes through couriers and front desks, so prices stay off it. If the customer scans their own box, they can type their email or postal code under Is this your order? and press Open my order to see prices and the invoice.

Staff who sign in on that phone get more on the same page: piece counters, packing, box photos and dispatch.
