You can combine multiple orders into processing lists and print all their order documents in one go.

Bulk printing order documents involves:

  • Selecting orders that should be bulk processed and creating a processing list
  • Processing orders
  • Printing order documents
  • Finalizing the processing list

Order bulk processing and bulk printing order documents are available in the following plans:

  • Advanced
  • Pro
  • Enterprise

Creating processing lists

  1. In the admin panel of your online store, go to Orders.
  2. Filter the orders displayed on the page by using the search tools at the top of the order table.

    For instance, if you'd like to process all orders shipped by Posti's services, look for all orders that use e.g. SmartShip with the help of the Shipping methods column.

  3. In the order table, select the orders that you'd like to add to the list.

    You can't select orders that have already been canceled or added to another processing list.

  4. Open the Create processing list menu located at the top of the order table.
  5. Enter a name for the list.
  6. Click Save.

The newly-created processing list can be found on the Orders page, from the Processing lists menu.

Next, you can print order documents for the orders included on the list and bulk process the list's orders.

You can also add orders to the list later on.

Adding orders to already existing processing lists

  1. In the admin panel of your online store, go to Orders.
  2. Select the orders that you'd like to add to an existing processing list.

    You can only add orders from one page of the order table at a time. To add orders from across different pages, first add orders included on one page, and then move to another page.

  3. Open the Add to processing list drop-down menu above the order list.
  4. From the menu, select the processing list to which the orders should be added.

    The orders have now been added to the processing list.

Printing order documents for orders included on a processing list

  1. From the Processing lists menu on the Orders page, search for and open the processing list.
  2. Open the Print order documents menu located above the order table.
  3. Print or download the desired documents via the menu.

    If the orders from the processing list contain certain errors, printing the documents and bulk processing the orders might fail. In such a case, fix or temporarily remove problematic orders from the processing list.

    Errors might result from malfunctions in logistics and payment services or order payments that don't match order totals (e.g. an order product has been returned).

After printing the documents, you'll be able to process the processing list's orders.

Processing orders included on a processing list

Orders included on a processing list can be processed quickly all at once or one at a time.

To bulk process all orders included on a processing list:

  1. From the Processing lists menu on the Orders page, search for and open the processing list.
  2. Make sure that the processing list is free from erroneous orders marked in red.

    If possible, correct the order errors that block quick processing and printing order documents.

    When necessary, remove problematic orders from the processing list.

  3. Click the Run quick processing button located above the processing list.

    All error-free orders will be processed.

To process the orders included on the processing list one at a time, click the Quick process order link for each order you'd like to process.

After printing the order documents for all orders from the processing list and processing all the orders, you can finalize the processing list.

Finalizing the processing list

After processing all orders from the list, you need to finalize the processing list. Finalizing archives the processing list, which means it will no longer be visible on the Orders page.

  1. From the Processing lists menu on the Orders page, search for and open the processing list.
  2. On the processing list page, click Finalize processing list.

After you've finalized the processing list, you won't be able to access it anymore, and it won't be displayed on the list of processing lists on the Orders page. However, the list's orders can still be accessed via the Orders page by using the search tools.

Removing orders from processing lists

You can remove an order from the processing list by clicking the Remove from processing list link in the menu on the right side of the order row.

Removing an order from the processing list doesn't delete it from your online store, and you will still be able to access it via the Orders page.

Deleting processing lists

To delete a processing list, on the processing list page, click Delete processing list.

Deleting the list doesn't delete the orders included on the list, and you'll still be able to access them via the Orders page.
