  • First of all, install and activate the plugin.

  • Group by category: Choose Yes to group the products by category. Groups the products of the same category in the picklist.
  • Group by order: Choose Yes to group the products by order. On printing picklist for multiple orders, the products will be categorized by order.

For instance, a pick list for two orders by enabling group by category and group by order will look as shown below:

  • Sort products by: either on the basis of Name or SKU.
  • Product meta fields: Select/add additional product information in the picklist. Click the Add Product Meta to add a new product meta field by providing a custom Field Name and the respective meta key for the field. Get the order meta keys from the custom field section of the WooCommerce Order page.
  • Product attributes: Here, you can add and edit the product attributes.
  • Attach Picklist PDF in order email for statuses: Picklist in PDF format will be attached with order email for chosen order statuses.
  • Share Picklist PDF as a separate email: Enable this option to attach the picklist to any external email ids such as warehouse or store etc. along with the WooCommerce order status mail.
