Delivery Note imparts information about the contents of a package. It serves as a proof of undisputed delivery of goods to the buyer. A copy of the delivery note is signed by the recipient and then returned to the seller as proof of delivery.

Print Invoice, Packing Slip, Delivery Note & Label Plugin for WooCommerce,  an easy and reliable plugin by Webtoffee extends this functionality. A delivery note is a document that contains order information such as product description, quantity and so on. A copy of the delivery note signed by the customer is returned back to the seller for confirmation of shipment.

Once you have installed and activated this plugin, a new section is available in the WordPress menu titled Invoice/Pack List. You can get to this section by navigating to the Invoice/Packing menu from your WordPress dashboard. When you click on the Delivery Note sub menu, you will be taken to Delivery Note settings.

All the generic settings that need to be used across all the documents can be configured in the General Settings window. It contains provisions to configure the company logo, address details, RTL support and many more. To know more about general settings configurations, refer here.

Delivery Note can be set up in two easy steps:

Step 1: General

• Group by Category: Choose Yes to group the products by category.
• Enable variation data: To include variation data of the product in the delivery note, enable this option.
• Order Meta Fields – Allows you to add additional order meta fields in the delivery note. You can select a field from the list of default fields or click the Add Existing Order Meta Field button to create custom meta fields by providing a custom Field Name and the respective meta key for the field. The order meta keys for respective products can be found in the custom field section of the WooCommerce Order page.
