Shopify Order Printer

Im working with support now as I agree with most of these reviews. There are issues with this new app. In my opinion, the "legacy" app had a much cleaner look and should continue to be supported. I sent 12-13 orders to the printer yesterday and all did not populate. This was after spending 6 hours with the help of chat gpt to get the code right to have the finished form look like our original form that all in our shop and customer base are used to looking at. The legacy app is good until August 2024 so don't be in a hurry to update any time soon.

Update: All the bugs look to be worked out. Without the help of Chat GPT, it would have been difficult to customize the template. All is well now and using it daily

WHY? Why would you subject us to such an app? Almost useless- missing data (SKU's), hard to read- too small font, no lines, etc. etc. etc.

Going back to legacy for now then looking for something else.

The new Shopify Order Printer app is a significant improvement over the previous version. It integrates seamlessly with Shopify, providing a smooth and intuitive user experience.

Importing templates from the legacy app is straightforward and seamless. The app is highly customizable, allowing you to tailor print templates to your store's specific needs.

Its speed and stability are impressive, ensuring quick prints without technical issues. In summary, the new Shopify Order Printer is simple, fast, stable, and highly customizable, making it ideal for any Shopify store.

Re-creating our invoice and packing list templates in the new app took about half an hour. It required reference to the documentation but was not hard. The new app is functionally very similar to the old, and I don't really understand the reason for its existence, but changing was not as big a problem as I had been led to believe by all the negative reviews.

One minor gripe is that when you print to PDF from a browser, the saved file takes its name from the title of the page. This used to contain the order number, which was convenient. Now it does not, which is inconvenient.

I would give this a negative star if I could. This app is awful. The templates are horrendous. It doesn't include the notes. I have used Order Printer and (paid) Order Printer Templates for years - super easy to customize and looked great. Now they are no longer supported and we're directed to use this awful app. Do better, Shopify.

This is not a good move by Shopify. As others have mentioned, this app is not as good as the legacy version. We could have multiple templates for B2B, B2C, gifts, drop shipments, etc. Now we get two, and the packing slip has prices by default, which is a HUGE no-no. Can be removed, but you have to edit the liquid code directly, which is not an option for a lot of customers. And, as others have mentioned, you cannot copy-paste your old templates here, as many variables have changed names, seemingly arbitrarily. You need to understand the liquid code in order to modify them, and they still don't look good without further tweaking. I am not good at coding, so they still look...not so good.

To make this app better, please add:

1. More templates
2. WYSIWYG editor, or another way to modify the template without code
3. An easier way to migrate templates
4. Easy way to add pictures, QR codes, and other media
5. A packing slip that does not include prices by default

If you can't match even the basics of what the legacy app provided, please do not make us migrate.

OMG! Who on earth thought this app was an improvement! The old one worked, why change it? I've cut and pasted the text from the old template but it's not even close when viewed on the new order printer. The fonts are lost, totals and discounts are missing, ship to address is gone. We're not doing anything complex here, just wanting it to list the customers order, their address and what they paid for it. I can probably figure out the code to change to get it right but it's going to take a while. If anyone from Shopify is listening you REALLY have to sort this out and at least delay the removal of the legacy app to allow people time to fix your mess.

Literally the worst idea. My invoice template that I BOUGHT does not work on the new version. None of my settings are there and the packing slip is not supposed to have prices on it. I am extremely disappointed in this move.

There is absolutely no reason to change, and this breaks templates that we paid to use. Shopify, please include a legacy for mode so sellers aren't forced to completely redevelop templates.

I jumped into this from the old version, and had to remake some things as the language had changed some.
But after some tweaking I made a better adress printout than before.

It could be nice with a tool to help you make a good looking printout, but this is very flexible, and weighing in that its free i think its ok!

Much better than writing name and adress manually as before.

So all and all i think its fine anyways!
