Delivery Slip
Generate a delivery slip PDF for orders that require delivery.
Overview
A delivery slip (also called a packing slip or delivery note) is a document that accompanies goods being delivered to a customer. It lists what is being shipped, who it is going to, and where it is going. Unlike an invoice, a delivery slip is not a request for payment — it is a record of the physical goods being transferred.
When to Use a Delivery Slip
Generate a delivery slip when:
- Products are being shipped or delivered to a customer
- A third-party courier is collecting goods
- You need an internal packing list for an order
- You want to confirm delivery contents with the customer
Generating a Delivery Slip
- Go to Orders and find the order
- Click Delivery Slip or Generate Delivery Slip
- Preview the document
- Choose to Print, Download PDF, or Email (if SMTP is configured)
