Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment

Topic summary

Issue: A user needed to display the shipping method on Shopify packing slips but couldn’t find the correct Liquid variable.

Solution provided: Use the variable {{ order.shipping_method.title }} in the packing slip template.

Implementation steps:

  • Navigate to: Settings > Shipping and delivery > Packing Slips > Edit template
  • Insert the variable wherever desired in the HTML template
  • One contributor suggested placing it after <div class="shipping-address"> and adding spacing adjustments for alignment
  • A detailed tutorial with screenshots was shared for step-by-step guidance

Additional context:

  • Each order has only one shipping method selected at checkout
  • The template uses basic HTML and Liquid syntax
  • Conditional logic is possible using Liquid tags if more complex scenarios are needed

Status: Resolved—multiple users confirmed the solution works for displaying shipping methods on packing slips.

I just needed to do that myself, and eventually found (through the forums, not the documentation) that the liquid variable needed is: {{ order.shipping_method.title }}

Hope that helps!
