Picksort FAQ

Pick & pack questions, answered straight.

Everything merchants ask before installing Picksort — how it merges open Shopify orders into one pick list, why it beats printing a packing slip per order, and exactly what it does and doesn’t do.

The gap Picksort fills

Most printing apps organize for the customer. Picksort organizes for the picker.

The everyday frustration

  • One packing slip per order — a stack to print and sort by hand
  • The same SKU re-picked across many separate orders
  • No combined, quantity-per-SKU view across open orders
  • Liquid templates and setup before you can print anything
  • Pick lists not grouped by how you actually walk the floor

What Picksort does instead

  • One merged pick list across every open, unfulfilled order
  • Total quantity per SKU — pick each item once, by the number
  • Group by vendor, bin location, or SKU in one tap
  • Zero setup — install and your orders appear instantly
  • A printable pack sheet with checkoff boxes for the warehouse
Questions & answers

The things merchants ask first.

Can I combine multiple Shopify orders into one pick list?+

Yes — that’s the whole point of Picksort. Most order printer and packing slip apps generate one document per order, which means you walk the warehouse order by order. Picksort does the opposite: it reads every open, unfulfilled order and merges them into a single combined pick list, so you see one consolidated list instead of a stack of separate slips.

How do I print one pick list for all my orders instead of a packing slip per order?+

Open Picksort and it instantly builds an aggregate pick list across all your open orders, then click Print for a clean pack sheet covering everything at once. There’s no per-order printing and no merging documents by hand — the batch pick list is the default view.

Does Picksort show the total quantity to pick per SKU?+

Yes. Picksort sums every line across every open order, so each SKU appears once with a single quantity-per-SKU total. Instead of picking the same product five times for five different orders, you pick it once by the number — far fewer trips to the shelf and far fewer miscounts.

How is Picksort different from an order printer or packing slip app?+

Order printer apps are built around the customer’s order — one invoice or packing slip per order. Picksort is built around the picker. It consolidates all open orders into one quantity-per-SKU pick list grouped for the warehouse floor. If your current app makes you configure templates or prints a slip for every single order, Picksort fills exactly that gap.

Can I group my pick list by vendor, bin location, or SKU?+

Yes. Switch grouping between vendor, bin location, or SKU with one tap, and the quantities re-tally instantly. Group by bin to walk the shelves in order, by vendor to stage supplier pickups, or by SKU for a flat master count.

Do I need barcodes or a scanner to use Picksort?+

No. Picksort is a print-and-pick tool, not a barcode scanning system. There’s no hardware to buy and nothing to scan — you get a printable pick and pack sheet with checkoff boxes you can work straight from a clipboard.

Will Picksort change, fulfill, or delete my orders? Is it safe?+

No — Picksort is read-only by design. It requests only read access to orders and products, so it physically cannot edit, fulfill, cancel, or delete anything in your store. It reads what’s open and shows it back to you as a list. Nothing you do in Picksort touches your live orders or inventory.

What setup or configuration does Picksort need?+

None. Picksort is zero-setup — install it and your open orders appear immediately. There are no liquid templates to edit, no fields to map, and no onboarding to sit through. If you’ve wrestled with configuring print templates in other apps, this is the opposite experience.

Where do vendors and bin locations come from?+

Vendor comes from each product’s vendor field in Shopify. Bin comes from a product’s bin-location metafield — if you already store bins there, Picksort groups by them automatically. No bins set up? Just group by vendor or SKU instead; nothing is required.

Can I use Picksort on my phone in the warehouse?+

Yes. The merged pick list collapses to a clean single-column view on mobile, so a picker can work straight from their phone between the shelves, then print the full pack sheet when it’s time to pack.

Does the pick list update as new orders come in?+

Yes. Picksort reads your live open orders each time, so a refresh reflects exactly what’s unfulfilled right now — no stale CSV exports and no re-importing.

Why isn’t a specific order showing in Picksort?+

Picksort only lists open, unfulfilled orders. If an order is already fulfilled, archived, cancelled, or still a draft, it won’t appear on the pick list — that’s expected. Once an order is open and awaiting fulfillment it shows up automatically; if you just changed something, hit Refresh to re-read your live orders.

Is there a printable pack sheet with checkoff boxes?+

Yes — the printable pack sheet is the flagship feature. It groups SKUs the way you chose, shows big readable quantities, and gives every line a checkoff box, all laid out for a clipboard on the warehouse floor rather than a screen.

What does Picksort cost? Is there a free trial or free plan?+

Picksort is $9/month with a 14-day free trial, so you can run real picking days before paying. There’s no free plan — just the trial, then one simple flat price with no per-order fees.

What kind of stores is Picksort best for?+

Stores doing in-house batch fulfillment — apparel, supplements, food, candles, hardware and similar brands with multiple SKUs that pick and pack their own orders. If you fulfill several open orders at once and print pick lists or packing slips today, you’re the target. If you dropship or use print-on-demand, Picksort won’t add much.

What does Picksort not do?+

Picksort is deliberately small and does one job well. It does not print carrier shipping labels, edit or fulfill orders, scan barcodes, or manage inventory levels. It turns your open orders into a merged, printable pick and pack list — that’s it, on purpose.

How do I get help with Picksort?+

Email support@picksort.app and a real person — the person who built Picksort — replies. No ticket queues, no bots.
