Dear Shopify developers,

I’d like to make a suggestion that when one creates an inventory transfer, that there is an option to print mailing labels from the same screen.

Otherwise, I need to go outside of the system to create labels. I don’t want to create an order - it defeats the purpose of the transfer functionality.

thank you,

DeAnne
