How can I add extra product information to my packing slips?

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment

Topic summary

A user seeks guidance on customizing packing slip templates to include additional product information for buyers (e.g., color-coded labels indicating “Red = Beef product” and “Blue = Chicken product”).

Technical Challenge:

  • The user has access to their packing slip code (Liquid template format) but lacks coding experience
  • Wants to know where to insert custom text and what syntax to use

Proposed Solution:

  • Another participant recommends the Order Printer app, which offers customizable templates using HTML, CSS, and Liquid
  • This tool could simplify the customization process without requiring manual code editing

Status: The discussion remains open with one suggested solution provided, but no confirmation yet on whether the original poster will pursue this approach or needs additional guidance on direct code modification.

I would like to add some extra information to our packing slips (Some information to the buyer re the products in their order e.g. Red = Beef product and Blue = Chicken product), but I don’t know how to edit code. Could someone please tell me where in the packing slip code (below) I could add the code, and what I need in the front/end of the text I’m adding?

Hi @EmmaEshloe ,
