About this plugin
Pack Orders for WooCommerce turns any WooCommerce order into a simple packing checklist you work through on your phone. Open an order, see the line items as big tappable rows, and tick each one off as it goes in the box. The packed state is saved to the order and survives across devices, so you can start on the shop floor and finish at the bench without losing your place.
It is built for small-store owners who pack their own orders. No printer, no labels, no workflow to learn — just a clear list and a checkbox per item.
What it does
- Mobile-first packing checklist — a dedicated, distraction-free packing page with large tap targets, built to be used one-handed on a phone.
- Per-item packed state — tick items individually, “Mark all packed”, or “Reset all”. State is saved instantly and shared across every device and user.
- Flag missing items — out of stock? Mark the item Awaiting and the order is shown as blocked, so you never ship it short.
- Awaiting list — one screen listing every item currently awaiting stock across all your orders.
- Derived packing status — each order is shown as To pack, Partly packed, Awaiting, or Packed, calculated from the items, never guessed.
- Orders-screen column — a read-only packing-status column on the native WooCommerce Orders screen, clickable straight through to the packing page.
- Order edit meta box — a “Packing” panel on the single-order screen showing status and progress, with a button to open the packing page.
- Configurable statuses — choose which order statuses count as “needs packing” (defaults to Processing ) on the Settings page.
- Keep screen awake — optionally stops your phone dimming while you pack an order, then lets it sleep again once you stop tapping.
- HPOS compatible — works with both High-Performance Order Storage and the legacy order storage.
It never changes your order status
Packing is a parallel layer. Marking items packed never moves the order between WooCommerce statuses — that stays entirely under your control. Packed state is stored on the order’s own line items, so it travels with the order and shows the same progress to everyone on your team.
Free version
The free version is a complete packing tool: the mobile checklist, per-item packed and Awaiting states, the derived status shown everywhere (packing page, Orders column, order meta box), the Awaiting list, and configurable packing statuses. Everything you need to pack your own orders — free, forever.
Premium upgrade (Flow)
Flow is a separately available upgrade for stores that re-order stock from suppliers. It builds on everything you flag as Awaiting and adds:
- Suppliers — keep a supplier directory with email, phone, account number, and notes, and assign products to a supplier one at a time or in bulk.
- Re-order list — every item awaiting stock, grouped by supplier and ready to order. Export a CSV, email the supplier, or print it.
- Supplier-order batches — turn a re-order into a tracked supplier order, then mark items received as deliveries arrive.
- Auto-flag backorders — backordered items are marked Awaiting automatically as orders come in.
- Pick list — one consolidated gather list across every order, so you pick each product once instead of hopping between orders.
The free version is fully functional on its own; Flow is optional.
