Is it possible to edit code (or utilize an app) to customize the columns on the Orders fulfillment page to display what product is on the orders?
I'd prefer a thumbnail image of the item(s) on each order. Or at a minimum, a display of the SKU would be better than what is there- which is nothing lol. Having to open every single order is very cumbersome. Some level of at-a-glance queue management is really needed here. Any help is greatly appreciated
Hi @PMdddd ,
You are correct that it lacks essential details such as product thumbnails, SKUs, and item specifics without opening each order individually. While direct modification of the Shopify admin UI, including the Fulfillment or Orders page, via theme code is not possible, several effective workarounds and app-based solutions can significantly enhance your order management experience.
I would like to offer a few solutions that can display product information like thumbnails and SKUs for unfulfilled orders in Shopify. For a swift and no-code approach, I recommend utilizing the OrderlyPrint app. It provides product thumbnails, SKUs, and additional details, along with features for bulk picking, packing, and fulfillment, and it offers a very quick setup. Alternatively, for those seeking a developer-friendly custom solution, building a custom order dashboard using the Shopify Admin API with technologies like Node.js + React or Airtable allows you to fetch and display unfulfilled orders with product names, SKUs, and images, with optional filters, sorting, and fulfillment buttons. Lastly, for lightweight automation, consider using Shopify Flow or Zapier to auto-export orders to Google Sheets or Airtable, enabling a live, at-a-glance dashboard with SKUs, product names, and image URLs.
Given these options, I recommend beginning with OrderlyPrint for immediate results. If comprehensive control and customization are paramount, then developing a custom dashboard would be the most suitable path.
Please let me know if it resolves the issue !
