How to use Pick Slips to pre-collect items

Pick Slips add a collection pass before packing: orders first arrive as Waiting for Picking, a picker walks the warehouse collecting items order by order, and only then do orders become ready for Pick and Pack. Pick Slips are done in the OrderKrab mobile app - the phone goes with you along the shelves and its camera confirms every item. The web app no longer has a picking flow of its own: its Pick Slips buttons show you where to download the app.

  1. 1

    Enable the feature first: in the web app, go to Settings → General → Pick Slip controls and switch on Pick Slips.

  2. 2

    Put the OrderKrab mobile app on the picker's phone - download it for iOS or Android and sign in with your OrderKrab account. (The Pick Slips button on the web Dashboard and Pick List opens the same download window.)

  3. 3

    In the app, open the Pick List tab and tap Pick Slip (it's also on the Dashboard).

  4. 4

    In Pick Slip Filters, optionally narrow the queue by store, carrier, location, tags, made-to-order or the number of items in the order, then tap Start Picking.

  5. 5

    Orders load one at a time. Collect the physical items and confirm each one by tapping it - or tap Scan and confirm items with the phone camera.

  6. 6

    Tap Next to complete the order and load the next one; tap Skip to pass over an order you can't collect right now.

  7. 7

    When you're done - or need to stop early - tap ✕. The Finish picking? window says where each order goes: the orders you picked go to packing, and the order you are in the middle of goes back to the queue (or to packing too, if all its items are confirmed). Tap Finish picking - picked orders move on to Pending Fulfillment.

Good to know

  • With Instant "Pending Fulfillment" after Pick Slip enabled in Settings, each order moves forward immediately after you press Next instead of waiting for the final confirmation.
  • Pick Slips are a PRO plan feature (included in the FREE plan).
  • Full mobile walkthroughs: run a Pick Slip queue on mobile and confirm items with the phone camera.
  • Picking belongs in the app - never use the web admin in a phone browser.
