We are new to Hikashop but can't find anywhere where we can change the layouts of the packing slip, invoice and product labels.
No matter what we are looking for, we can't find it anywhere...
We have followed all instructions on the internet, forums etc. but we have the feeling that something is missing.

Hello,

Can you provide elements in order to be sure to understand your needs and the context of application.
Please, define through screenshot :
- Packing slip
- Product labels

For edit Invoice, you can use our HikaShop override system, learn more here .
And you have to edit your order/invoice.

Regards

In hindsight I should have asked the question a little differently: how do we print labels for the products in Hikashop?
A label with the description of the product and a barcode on it.
There will be a certain layout attached to it that we would like to adjust.
In our expectation you will also be able to adjust the layouts of the invoices and/or packing slips?
Or are we on the wrong track?

Hi,

Are you talking about print the shipping label to stick to the parcel that your shipping carrier will then ship to your customers ?
HikaShop doesn't directly print shipping labels.
That's usually handled by shipping plugins or shipping services so that the shipping label is adapted to what the carrier wants.
So, for example, if you're shipping your products with DHL, you can use our DHL plugin:
www.hikashop.com/marketplace/product/287-shipping-dhl.html
It will provide the shipping cost during the checkout and possibly the different shipping services available to the customer.
And after the order is created (or paid), you can send the data of the order to DHL (automatically or manually with a button)
and then you'll get a button in order to print the shipping label for DHL.

I can see you're located in The Netherlands. We have a similar plugin for MyParcel.nl here:
www.hikashop.com/marketplace/product/245...shipping-plugin.html
This plugin supports DPD, BPost and PostNL. It is made for merchants in Belgium and The Netherlands.
So maybe that's what you want to use to print shipping labels ?

Regarding the invoice, when you edit an order in the backend orders listing, you have an "invoice" button at the top. You can use it to get the invoice. If you want to customize it, you can go in the menu Display>Views and edit the view file order / invoice for your backend template.

Thanks for the enlightening answer!
It's great to hear that we made a good choice with Hikashop!
Is it also possible to print labels for the items themselves in the warehouse? We have a plugin to scan the barcode and adjust the stock. But many items have no packaging and therefore no barcode. We would also like to stick labels on the shelves with a description of the item and a barcode. How does that work in Hikashop? We could find very little about it....

Hi,

We have this plugin which allows you to use a USB bar code scanner to update the stock easily in HikaShop:
www.hikashop.com/marketplace/product/107...ock-by-hikashop.html
However, this supposes that you already have a bar code on the products or shelves to be able to scan it.

There is no system to print barcodes for products in HikaShop. HikaShop is mainly an ecommerce solution, not really a barcode printing system.

You can use the "export" button of the products listing to get a CSV file of all the data of your products.
Then, open it with Excel or LibreOffice Calc.
Then, you can find many tools to generate barcodes.
For example: www.mobiledemand.com/barcode-generator
There, use the "barcode sheet" where you can copy / paste the column of data from your CSV where you have the code to use for the barcode, select the format of barcode to use (make sure it is compatible with your barcode scanner), and click on "generate". That will give you a PDF file that you can just print on a printer.
