Packing slips contain important information about an order. Sending packing slips to warehouses makes it easier for the packers to pack the products and initiate the shipment process. The WebToffee’s WooCommerce PDF Invoices, Packing Slips, and Credit Notes plugin helps to send the packing slip as an email to custom email addresses simultaneously when a customer places an order. To send the packing slip to custom email addresses, follow the below steps:
Step 1: Configure the packing slip settings.
Step 2: Add the custom/recipient email addresses.
Configuring the Packing slip settings
To configure the packing slip settings, follow the below steps:
- From the WordPress dashboard, navigate to Invoice/Packing > Packing slip.
- Now in the packing slip settings under the General tab, navigate to the General Section.
- In the Email packingslip automatically to option, Click on Choose order status.
- From the available order statuses, choose Custom email.
- Now click on Update Settings to save changes.
Adding the Custom/Recipient email addresses
This step involves adding email addresses to which packing slips will be sent. To add recipient email addresses follow the below steps:
- Once the Custom email option is selected, click on here as shown in the image below.
- Clicking on here will redirect to the WooCommerce Settings Emails page.
OR
- From the WordPress dashboard, head to WooCommerce > Settings > Emails.
- Now Click on the Manage button against the Packing Slip as shown below.
- From the Emails tab, navigate to Recipient(s).
- In the Recipient(s) text field, type down the recipient email addresses.
- To enter more than one email address, type in the email addresses and separate each one using a comma.
Example
Let’s take a scenario of sending the packing slip to two email addresses.
- First, select custom email under Email packing slip automatically to option.
- Navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Emails.
- Type in the two email addresses separated by a comma in the Recipient(s) field as shown below.
- Now, Click on Save Changes to update the recipient email addresses.
When the above steps are completed, packing slips for every new order will be sent to the given recipient email addresses.
The following image is an example of a packing slip mailed to a custom email address.

Hi, is it possible to send a packing slip for each category group to a different mail?

Hi Amuna,
We understand your requirement. However, our plugin presently doesn’t offer any options to generate individual packing slips based on the product category.

Super plugin! Whereby it is almost a whole ecosystem. Thanks!
I find the function with the separate sending of an email, on order receipt, great.
Is there also a possibility to send the email with the picklist only at a certain status to another address (warehouse)?

Hi Gregor,
Thanks for reaching out to us. You can send the picklist to any separate mail by using the “Share Picklist PDF as a separate email” option located on the General tab of the picklist settings page (Invoice/Packing > Picklist > General). Which will be sent upon the order creation.

Hello, I have the same question as Gregor and you didn’t really answer to his question. I have to send the picklist only when the order is paid (status of processing) and not as soon as the order is made. I tried to enter the status on the above option “send PDF in emails”, but now the email is never sent. If I go in the order and select “send picklist” manually it works, but not automatically.

Hi Joseph,
Thanks for the clarification. We understand your requirement. However, presently the “share Picklist PDF as a separate email” option triggers when the order is placed.

Hi, I am missing the customer note from an order in the complete plugin. Can I add it to a packing slip somehow by using a filter? Best Ronald
