Printing barcode labels for a partial receipt in Shopify

Shopify's workarounds

Shopify prints barcode labels with its Retail Barcode Labels app, from the product list. For a partial receipt its migration guide says:

1. Small receipt: select the received variants and enter the quantities by hand.
2. Large receipt: export the transfer's receiving ledger to CSV, then use a spreadsheet to drive label printing, or use a third-party labeling app.

Where it goes wrong

• Typing quantities by hand is where a 24 becomes a 42, and you print 18 labels nobody needs.
• The spreadsheet route works, but it is a second job on every delivery day.
• A second partial delivery means doing it again, and making sure you don't reprint the first one.

How Sutler does it

Receive the shipment in Sutler, against the purchase order, and print labels from that receipt: one label per unit actually received, nothing from earlier deliveries. Templates cover Dymo, Zebra and Avery sheets, and the labels come out as a PDF you print from any computer.

Quick answers

Can Shopify print labels from a purchase order?

No. Shopify's help center says labels aren't printed directly from the purchase order screen and don't auto-populate from a partial receiving event.

How do I print labels for a partial receipt in Shopify?

Shopify says to select the received variants and enter quantities manually for a small receipt, or export the transfer's receiving ledger to CSV and drive printing from a spreadsheet for a large one.

Check your Stocky export first: two minutes, nothing uploads.

The free Stocky Export Checker reads your Stocky CSV files in your browser and tells you what is inside them: purchase orders, products, suppliers named on your orders, open orders still to arrive, and what is missing. It also builds a list of the suppliers you'll need to re-enter, because Stocky can't export them.

What Sutler doesn't do

What Sutler does and doesn't do: Sutler suggests what to reorder from your sales, lead times and minimums, with the math shown, but makes no promise about forecast accuracy, and it does not do transfers between locations. What it does is the purchasing desk: purchase orders, receiving, labels, stocktakes and landed cost, and it imports your Stocky export into working purchase orders.
