The Orders or Shipments tab is likely the most efficient option for printing a Pick List since you can select multiple orders or shipments, and all items will be included in the Pick List.
Select one or more orders or shipments, click the Print button, then choose Pick List.

Pick lists provide details about items in the selected orders including their SKUs, Descriptions (Item Names from the orders), the Warehouse Location, and quantity. Use pick lists if you need a list of all the items to pick for a set of orders, which you can then sort into their corresponding shipments later. The options for pick lists allow you to choose how your pick lists appear.

This sample of ShipStation's Pick List shows the column header for Warehouse Location.
To pick orders efficiently it is important to know where each SKU is stored in your warehouse. You can now select which information is pulled for your pick list.
Follow these steps to select the warehouse location that will show on your pick list.
ShipStation can pull warehouse location data from 2 different places: Shipping Location and Inventory Location.
Shipping Location exists in your Products > Parent Product Details under the Shipping tab.
Inventory Location exists in your Products > Parent Product Details under the Inventory tab. This is also the warehouse location that is found in your Inventory grid. You can bulk import these inventory locations using our inventory CSV import.

When printing a pick list for an order or multiple orders, ShipStation will include all items on the selected order(s) on the Pick List, regardless of whether multiple shipments exist on the orders.
-
When printing a pick list for a shipment or multiple shipments, ShipStation will include only the items on the selected shipments. If additional shipments exist on an order, but are not selected when you print the pick list, those items will not be included on the pick list.
-
For product image thumbnails to appear on pick lists when that document option is enabled, the image URL for the product must either be present in the Product Record or have been included in the order data sent from the selling channel.
-
Enabling product images for pick lists may cause ShipStation to take longer creating the pick list when a large number of orders or shipments is selected.
