Shopify Order Printer

Expect lots of bugs and zero help from shopify support as shopify requires transition to this "new" Order Printer.

This "new" Order Printer does not work correctly with any customizations/templates from the "legacy" Order Printer, and Shopify's support staff are zero help. Shopify's support page on transitioning from the "legacy" Order Printer to this "new" Order Printer is woefully inadequate, too.

With this new Order Printer, Shopify changed all their liquid formats plus simple template code that worked perfectly on the "legacy" Order Printer no longer works on the "new" Order Printer...and nobody at Shopify can say why...or offer real solutions.

What's more, if you use any 3rd party providers on your shopify store to help manage inventory, pickup/delivery, locations, bundles, discounts, tipping, just about anything...expect additional issues using this "new" Order Printer...and Shopify support is again zero help because they use 3rd party providers as a scapegoat.

Don't get us wrong -- the "legacy" Order Printer was far far far from great...it required a TON of template customization to be even remotely useful.

This is still the same for this "new" Order Printer...except that Shopify has thrown in the "bonus" of mysterious liquid and code changes (seemingly in secret, leaving both customers and support staff to stumble upon them as bad surprises). With this "new" Order Printer, Shopify shows yet again how out of touch they are with us customers doing business in the real world.

Difficult to see this "new" Order Printer as more than a thinly veiled attempt to squeeze more money out of customers by providing substandard products and service that leave customers in the lurch unless they pony up $$ for a yet another 3rd party app to band-aid Shopify's poor product and service.

Do better, Shopify. If we don't say something, they never will.

So far I dislike it. The original one easily allowed you to add logo and the packing slip had large customer address so you can use as a shipping label. We need to be able to easily create to suit our styles

The App was easy to install and we were able to transfer our current template styles across easily. No issues whatsoever.

Great app, more customisable if you are using AI to write the code, below is the code I use if you are interested

Cart Note, Order Tag, Buyer details is included in the packing slip

Packing Slip

Order {{ order.order_name }}
{% if order.po_number %}PO # {{ order.po_number }}{% endif %}
{{ "now" | date: "%B %e, %Y" }}

From
{{ shop.name }}
{{ shop.address | format_address }}

{% if order.shipping_address %}

Ship to
{{ order.shipping_address | format_address }}

{% endif %}

Order Details

{% for line_item in order.line_items %}

{% endfor %}



Check
Qty
Item




{{ line_item.quantity }}
{{ line_item.title }}

{% if order.note %}

Note: {{ order.note }}

{% endif %}

Buyer Details:
{{ customer.name }}
{{ customer.email }}
{{ customer.contact }}

Order Tags:
{{ order.tags | join: ", " }}

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.

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.

thank you for making it easy to import previous template
much appreciated

Me ha resultado muy cómoda y fácil de utilizar. Solo tuve que traducir los términos. Es justo lo que buscaba. Gracias.

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

I have used the legacy version for six years. This new change is horrific. Like others, it is impossible to export or copy the exact code into the new version and it be the exact template. I do not have hours and hours to filter through the html coding to figure out what in the world is going on. And, no, I am not interested in paying an enormous fee each month simply to print invoices or packing slips. Just shameful.
