Print packing slips with Square for Retail
About packing slips
When shipping an order, you may want to include a packing slip. Packing slips are valuable for both you and your customers. A packing slip can help your staff identify the correct items to include in an order and are an extension of your brand featuring your business information and logo. For your customer, the packing slip inserted in their shipment lists the item in the package and contains the order information so they can keep track of the sale, initiate a return, or contact you for help.
Before you begin
You can print a packing slip for shipping orders with or without creating a shipping label. Packing slips automatically include:
Your business name, address, website, and phone number
Your logo image
The customer's name and shipping address
The order number and date
The name and any variations or modifiers for items included in the order
Create and print packing slips
You can create and print from both the Square for Retail app and your Square Dashboard. For orders created through Square Online, you can also choose which items to include on the packing slip if you're only shipping part of the order. Orders placed outside of Square Online list all items on the packing slip.
To print a packing slip from the Retail app:
- Make sure your device is connected to a printer, then open the navigation menu.
- Tap Orders.
- Tap the order you want to ship.
- Tap the three dots (•••) > Print packing slips.
To print a single packing slip from your Square Dashboard:
- Log in to your Square Dashboard and click Orders > Shipments.
- Click the To-do or Shipped tab.

- Click Print packing slip to generate an 8.5 x 11” packing slip to include with a shipment order.
- Click the print icon to print the packing slip. The packing slip will show the customer, carrier, shipping rate, item name/quantity, company name and address, and logo.
