How do I add addresses to Shopify orders more efficiently?
Asked 4 years ago
I currently only fulfil 5 or 6 orders per day, but I would like to start scaling my business to handle approximately 35 orders per day.
Currently, I copy and paste the addresses for my orders and add them to a Google doc. I then print them and cut them up for each order.
When I start fulfilling more orders, I won't be able to do this anymore and do not think that it is a good use of time.
Does anyone have any recommendations for ways to do this more efficiently?

There are a few different options for shipping and adding addresses to orders.
Shopify Shipping allows you to print and pay for multiple shipping labels, directly in Shopify. To do this, select the orders that are ready to ship from your orders list. Then you'll need to check the details for each order, making and changes to the shipping service, carrier, and any other details where needed. You can then buy and print the labels altogether.
You can take a look at the Shopify Apps available to download that create labels for you to print. This included shipping labels, receipts, invoices, and packing slips. Apps such as 'Order Printer', 'Order Printer Templates', and 'PDF Invoice: Order Printer+' may be worth having a look at.
You may want to consider purchasing a shipping label printer that connects to your device and allows you to print address labels quickly and easily. These, however, may seem like more of an investment as they can range from £100-£200+. You will want to weigh up the time and money that you could save by purchasing a printer compared to the initial cost. Do an internet search for 'shipping label printers' to see what would work best for your business.

If your store is working well, you may have a problem with shipping multiple orders in a limited period. Some steps you can take to make the adding address process smoother are:
Have a plan from Day 1 and try to stick to it. This maintains the organizational structure of your business and decreases chances for mistakes.
Implement the “Multiple Shipments” from the Admin dashboard, a feature that makes the process easy
Have the View Multiple Shipment feature on your system that helps to keep track of adding/viewing the orders
Any business should be about an easy and user-friendly process for buyers as well as sellers. But since it is about meeting the clients’ needs, buyers should take up the responsibility of making the purchasing process smoother. The steps mentioned above will be helpful for any Shopify store owner to set up an organized system for their clients.

One great solution would be the mobile application PickPack. Essentially, PickPack is a social network for same-day deliveries.
PickPack features advanced tools to streamline and scale your operations. The app allows you to send any package to any destination, whenever you like, and at the lowest price. You can easily use PickPack on your phone when packing orders as this tags the order as it’s picked & packed. Additionally, it would even work great for a team.

Adding addresses and completing multiple orders can be a big hassle, especially if your business is doing good and getting many orders. You can use shipping apps to add addresses and complete several orders efficiently. You can use apps like ShippingEasy, ShipStation, EasyShip, and AfterShip to take more orders easily. All these apps are available on the Shopify app store.

I suggest you look into parcel services like Royal Mail or Collect+. Choose a service provider that best suits your needs, e.g., if your orders are bulky, you might not want to go with Royal Mail because it gets pretty expensive.
Definitely check out some Shopify apps that can automatically create labels for you.
