How to Print All Shopify Orders at Once
When a day's orders pile up, printing them one at a time is a non-starter. You want to select the batch and hit print once. Shopify supports this natively, and apps extend it further. This guide shows you how to print all Shopify orders at once, then explains the difference that actually matters for fulfillment speed: printing 40 separate slips versus printing one merged pick sheet.
We make Picksort, which merges open orders into a single quantity-per-SKU sheet, so we'll be upfront about when bulk packing slips are the right call and when they quietly slow you down.
Print all orders at once with native Shopify tools
You don't need an app to bulk-print. It's built into the Orders page.
- Open Orders in your Shopify admin.
- Filter to Unfulfilled so you only print what needs shipping today.
- Select orders: check the box on each order row, or use the header checkbox to select the whole page. If you have more orders than fit on one page, Shopify offers a "Select all" option that spans the filtered set.
- Choose Print packing slips from the bulk actions bar (it may sit under "More actions").
- Shopify assembles every selected order into one print-ready document. Send it to your printer in a single job.
That's the core answer: filter, select all, print packing slips. It's free and it works. The document contains one packing slip per order, in sequence, ready to print together.
Watch the page-size and browser limits
Very large selections can be slow to generate, and your browser's print dialog can choke on huge documents. If you regularly bulk-print hundreds of orders, split them into a couple of runs. This is where a dedicated app helps.
Print all orders at once with apps
If you want templates or higher volume, two routes are common.
Shopify Order Printer (free)
Shopify's first-party Order Printer app prints roughly 50 orders per print job and lets you build custom templates. Select your orders, print through Order Printer, and it produces your templated document for the batch. If 50 per job isn't enough, you run it a few times. It's free and reliable, and the template control means you can move closer to a pick-friendly layout than the default packing slip.
Third-party print apps
Paid apps like Orderly Print offer richer templating for invoices, pick lists, and packing slips, with higher tiers around the $99/month range at the time of writing. If your workflow depends on branded, highly customized documents at scale, that kind of app earns its price. For most in-house merchants who just need to get a batch on paper, the free tools are enough.
The real question: 40 slips or one merged sheet?
Here's what most guides skip. Printing all your orders at once still leaves you with one document per order. Bulk printing solves the "click print 40 times" problem, but it doesn't solve the "walk the shelf 40 times" problem.
Say you have 40 unfulfilled orders and you bulk-print packing slips. You now hold 40 slips. To pick, you work order by order. If your best-selling mug appears in 15 of those 40 orders, you either make 15 trips to that shelf or you mentally aggregate on the fly, which is where miscounts creep in.
A merged pick sheet flips the model. Instead of 40 per-order documents, you print one sheet that adds up every SKU across all 40 orders. The mug shows up as a single line with a total quantity to pull. You walk the shelves once, pulling totals, then pack against the orders afterward.
What Picksort does
Picksort reads your open, unfulfilled orders and merges them into one quantity-per-SKU sheet:
- One line per SKU with the combined quantity and a checkoff box. Big, readable numbers.
- Group by vendor, bin location, or SKU — quantities re-tally instantly. Group by bin to turn the pick into a single walking route. Bin comes from an optional product metafield; vendor from the product's vendor field.
- Zero setup. No imports, no field mapping, no templates. Install and open, and your live orders are already merged.
- Read-only by design. It only reads orders and products; it can't edit, fulfill, delete, or create anything.
- Print or pick from your phone. Single-column on mobile for picking, then print with checkoff boxes for packing.
To be clear about scope: Picksort doesn't scan barcodes, generate shipping labels, or sync inventory. If you need those, you'll want a heavier fulfillment app. If you just need one clean merged pick sheet from your open orders, Picksort is simpler and cheaper.
A practical batch-fulfillment flow
Combining the two ideas gives you a fast daily routine:
- Pick from a merged sheet. Open Picksort, group by bin location, and pull every SKU in one pass. Check boxes as you go.
- Print packing slips for the box. Back at the bench, bulk-print packing slips natively so each order gets its customer-facing document.
- Pack and fulfill in Shopify. Match items to orders and mark them fulfilled.
You get the picking efficiency of a merged sheet and the per-order paperwork customers expect, without repeating trips to the shelf.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I print all my Shopify orders at once?
Go to Orders, filter to Unfulfilled, select all the orders (use the header checkbox or "Select all"), and choose Print packing slips from the bulk actions. Shopify combines them into one print job. For templated output or higher volume, use the free Order Printer app, which prints about 50 orders per job.
Is there a limit to how many orders I can bulk-print?
Native bulk printing can slow down or strain your browser's print dialog on very large selections, so splitting into runs helps. Shopify's Order Printer app handles roughly 50 orders per print job. For picking specifically, a single merged pick sheet avoids the volume problem because it collapses all orders into one document.
What's better for picking: bulk packing slips or a merged sheet?
For batch fulfillment, a merged quantity-per-SKU sheet is faster because it lists each SKU once with a total quantity, so you visit each shelf a single time. Bulk packing slips are still one document per order, which means repeated trips when SKUs recur across orders. Many merchants pick from a merged sheet, then print packing slips for the boxes.
Does Picksort print packing slips too?
No. Picksort focuses on the merged pick sheet. It's read-only and doesn't create documents in your store or fulfill orders. Print packing slips natively in Shopify for the customer-facing paperwork, and use Picksort's sheet to pick the batch efficiently.
