<h2>Print Invoices, Packing Lists, and Pick Lists for WooCommerce Orders</h2>
<p>The <strong>WooCommerce Print Invoices & Packing Lists</strong> extension is the ultimate tool to handle invoices, packing lists, and pick lists in your WooCommerce store. This plugin allows you to easily print documents for orders straight from the Orders page (individually and in bulk), while editing orders, and allows customer to view invoices from the “My Account” page.</p>
<p>Including invoices with shipped orders allows you to provide important order and policy information to customers when they receive their purchases. Print Invoices & Packing Lists takes all of the effort out of providing order information to customers so that you can bulk print the documents you need <strong>with only two clicks</strong>.</p>
<p>However, this won’t only help your customers. Packing Lists for individual orders and combined pick lists will help you speed up your fulfillment process, as order items are sorted by product category for efficient picking and packaging, letting you gather orders and double-check them for accuracy.</p>
<h3>Flexible Invoice Format</h3>
<p>This plugin has been completely re-built from version 3.0+ to make customizing your order documents as simple and flexible as possible for both users and developers. Invoice settings let you determine what information you want to show to customers, and you can even use a live preview to adjust colors, font sizes, and other appearance settings.</p>

<h3>Useful Packing and Pick Lists</h3>
<p>When you’re picking orders in your store or warehouse, you know exactly where each kind of product is. We’ve organized packing and pick lists in the same way your organize your inventory — by product category / type. <strong>Packing lists</strong> will show you items needed to fulfill a single order, and you can even exclude virtual (non-shipped) items or include customer notes.</p>
