Add link to packing slip as a link in fulfilment email

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment

Topic summary

A user needs to include packing slip links in fulfillment emails sent to suppliers, as Shopify notifications don’t support PDF attachments.

Proposed Solution:

  • Looking for a Liquid variable (similar to {{ fulfillment.packing_slip }}) that generates a direct link to the PDF packing slip
  • The link would allow suppliers to view and print packing slips without manual intervention

Context:

  • Packing slips are already generated and accessible from the order page
  • An example Google Cloud Storage URL for a packing slip was provided, showing the desired link format

Status: The discussion appears to be seeking guidance on whether such a variable exists in Shopify’s notification system or alternative methods to achieve this functionality.

Hi,

I need to send our suppliers a packing slip with the custom fulfilment email that is sent. Currently notifications doesnt allow for pdf attachments. So I was think that perhaps it might be possible to put a link in the email notication that links to the pdf packing slip that is generated from the order page.

I was hoping their might be something like this example {{ fulfillment.packing_slip}}. Or another way to put a link so my suppliers can view and print the packing slip.
