Feature Description
The packing station is where the products are checked and packed before shipping. The station contains all kinds of materials that are required for packing. Packing stations are sometimes customizable according to the needs of the packer.
In this guide, we have explained the process that takes place in the packing station.

For B2C orders, the packer can select the batch from which he wishes to scan the items. Once the batch is selected, the packer will scan the item every time
To track the batches, please make sure that the config "Enable Batch Code Tracking at Packing Station" is enabled. If not, please go to Account Settings > Other Settings > Enable Batch Code Tracking at Packing Station.
The information on all items belonging to that batch will appear on this page.
Once all the items are scanned, the file is sent to the printer, and the invoice will be downloaded automatically.
Information about shipping labels and invoices will be printed
Finally, the order gets moved to the “Ready to Dispatch” tab.
