Hi, just achieved my first sale! I’m wondering if there is an official packing slip / receipt that I’m supposed to include - if there is I can’t find it! so could somebody point me in the right direction please. Or does everyone just write their own note? Would be grateful for some advice please. Thanks Wendy ---

Congratulations. Go to orders in your dashboard, click on “visit this order”, you’ll then see a “print receipt” button to click. ---

wow, thank you, easy when you know how!!! I’m still trying to find my way round and as this is my first order I was a bit uncertain. Many thanks once again, that’s another lesson learned, Wendy x ---

That’s handy, but wouldn’t it be great if we could save it as a word document and then edit it to include our shop logo and any other appreciation message we wish to communicate with the customer… only option I can see is to go straight to printer as it is. Just a point. ---

I make my own compliment slips with some social media info and the like, and write a little note on that. It’s prettier than a bog standard packing slip and there’s a record of what the customer bought on both our accounts, so I’ve not felt the need to add more paperwork. A lot of my stuff is gifted, as well, so I’m hesitant to include the price on the packing slip as I don’t always know who’s opening it! Maybe I should add product info as a sticky note that can be removed, or something. ---

Thanks for your help. I did find and print the packing slip but as you say it is a bit plain and impersonal. I added a hand written note at the bottom of the slip just to thank her for her purchase. I will look into doing something more personal while I wait for the next sale !! ---

I have recently made a flyer to include in any sales. On one side it has Thankyou written on my banner and logo with a space to put a handwritten note, then on the other side are care instructions. I got the idea from a friend who is very successful on ‘the other place’. She does a lot of eco friendly packing too, but I keep all that quite simple still! Having said that, I am considering going for boxes with my logo on. Have many of you done that? Do you think it is worth the extra cost? ---

I use Green Jiffy Bags and stamp my website onto it by hand. Bit of a process when you buy 200 bags but cheaper than getting a box printed specifically. There are ways to do it cheaply that still help your brand to stand out. ---

There’s no slip you have to include, you can use the one from Folksy, make your own or have none at all. Personally I go for the option of none, because I know when I get them they just go straight in the (recycling) bin so it just feels like a waste of paper when the buyer will have a record of it on their account and emailed to them (and if they still want one from me then they can contact me). I just include my business card with a little handwritten thank you. ---

I have printed a supply of A5 sheets with a small design and my logo on the bottom left-hand corner. I can then print the Folksy order slip on top of that as it is normally a blank space. ---

I have printed some Compliments Slips with logo & links on, and space for a personal, hand-written thank-you message. I expect that to go in the bin once it’s been read. I also enclose a business card with full social media and other links - hopefully if they like the items they’ve bought they’ll hand on to that 🙂 ---

I found I could save it as a pdf using my phone or iPad. Then I can attach it to an email. Most people are happy with this as it saves unnecessary paper waste and is easier because I don’t have a printer at home. ---

If it was a paypal transaction, there will be a ‘packing slip’ to print off on your paypal login transaction details ---

I use premade black boxes and have now got stickers with my logo on. I will be putting the sticker on the top of the box. I also have made my own thank you note with my logo and information. LadySarahsCreations ---

That is what I have done, too, Sarah. However, I have just bought some natural brown boxes and am awaiting a stamp with my logo on, so I will see how that goes. I am pleased with my recent thankyou note that my daughter designed for me. I know it will go in the bin but I feel it is a nice touch.
