Batch fulfillment operations

Batch fulfillment processes a group of orders together so you can pick, pack, and ship a whole queue in one pass instead of opening each order individually.

Build a batch

1. Go to Fulfillment → Orders and filter to the orders you want — for example, paid and ready to fulfill.
2. Select the orders with the row checkboxes.
3. Click Create batch.
4. Fiddle groups the selected orders into one working set.

Run the batch

1. Generate a combined pick list for the whole batch and pick all items in one walk.
2. Pack each order at a packing station, confirming contents as you go.
3. Buy labels for the batch — Fiddle prices each shipment and deducts the total from your shipping wallet.
4. Print all labels and packing slips together.
5. Mark the orders shipped.

Buying labels in bulk can be a large single charge. Confirm the shipping wallet balance — or enable auto-reload — before processing a big batch.

Handling exceptions

Situation	What to do
Short stock	Remove that order from the batch and fulfill it later
Label failure	Retry the single order; the rest of the batch is unaffected
Wrong address	Fix it on the order, then rebuy that label

Group batches by carrier or package type so every order in the run uses the same picking path and label settings.
