Hotkeys allow you to perform common functions in ShipStation using a keyboard command instead of your mouse.
The Barcode Scan Action and Barcode Quick Reference reports allow you to print a sheet of scannable barcodes to accomplish certain tasks with a barcode scan instead of your keyboard or mouse.
ShipStation has both Basic hotkeys that are always active and Advanced hotkeys, which you can enable or disable as needed (Advanced hotkeys are enabled on your account by default).
To view the available hotkeys in ShipStation's current layout, click the Help menu and choose Hotkeys.
To print the hotkey report in ShipStation Legacy, go to Insights > Reports > Hotkey and Barcode Scan Actions
. Then click the Hotkey Reference Sheet option.
The Hotkey Reference Sheet report will generate a list of hotkey actions you can use within ShipStation. Post this list next to your workstation as a hotkey reference guide for your staff!
