Wrong, extra or missing
Every unit is matched against the order as it goes in. A swapped size, a second unit nobody ordered or a forgotten item shows up on screen, not in a customer's complaint.
Packing
Show the packing slip, then each item, then the shipping label. Boxwitness ticks off the order, films the box with the order on screen, and catches the wrong item while it's still on your bench.
Wrong item — not on this order
How packing works
Its QR code brings up the order's checklist and starts the recording, with the order, the items and the time on screen.
Each barcode ticks its item off. A wrong item, an extra unit or a missing one is flagged live, before the box is closed.
The box closes and the video is saved. A label from another order is caught; a label of a box just packed is never mistaken for one that arrived.
Caught at the bench
Every unit is matched against the order as it goes in. A swapped size, a second unit nobody ordered or a forgotten item shows up on screen, not in a customer's complaint.
Showing the shipping label closes the box, and a label from another order is caught before it goes on.
Add a USB scale and each box is checked against its expected weight before it leaves.
Less work at the bench
Buy Shopify Shipping labels from the order page, or automatically at the station once the box is packed and weighed. Each label gets a QR tab the camera reads easily.
Labels bought anywhere else work too.
Print packing slips and returns forms from Shopify (Print → Boxwitness documents) with the order's QR code already on them. Nothing to set up.
For items without a barcode, print labels per product, per order or per customer. Or tick items by hand, or choose “record only” if you just want the video.
When the same customer has several orders waiting for the same full shipping address, pack them in one box with one label. Boxwitness warns you if they ship at different speeds.
“Pack or unpack with Boxwitness” on every order in your Shopify admin sends it to a station: pack the order, or unpack its return.
An order that was already packed asks whether its box is coming back, so nobody packs it again by accident.
Every box on video
The video shows the order number, each item as it's ticked off, the weight and the time. Every video gets a fingerprint and a timestamp, and it's filed with the order in your Shopify admin, one click from a Proof PDF.
The station can only check what it can scan. A code on every product is what catches the wrong size, colour or swapped item before the box is sealed.
