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

I think it's worth trying. If you have some IT background, it's good. I was able to write my own templates and it's of very help.

Works fine for me and Shopify remembers what options I chose.

It's all good.

Hi. What is the code for TAX RATE %.
IGST 12% (Included). In this line, How to derive 12%

The ability to change the output with HTML or Liquid is excellent. No other e-commerce service offers this level of freedom. Invoices could be created in a specified format.

Only one feature was reduced. That is that when you output a file as a PDF, it is output with the same file name. In the old 'order print' the order number was included in the file name, so there was no risk of overwriting the file.

Thanks to the development team for a great programme.
Please keep improving it.

I was concerned about going from the original Order Printer to Shopify's order printer. After seeing that I may have to modify some code, and I'm not a coder, I was worried about the transition.

I had been using the original app for so many years and have made many customizations, I was worried they wouldn't carry over, but it worked flawlessly with not extra work other than "importing".

The only change I had to make was, unchecking the Shopify default templates I didn't need and check the default template I wanted and "done"!

The only reason I only gave it 4 stars and not 5 is, I just made the transition this morning and only time will tell if I run into any issues.

Hi, we have imported our customised templates successfully.
Is it possible to modify the order in which they appear on the list at the right of the screen ?
As we have several customised templates we would like to define which has to appear on top of the list, which one at the second place, and so on.
Thank you very much!

This migration was fairly straightforward but you need to engage the same developer that wrote your original templates. Seems like the variables now need to be explicit, the types have been made consistent for things like addresses, and there is a better hierarchy now so you can drill down in a more logical way to the thing you want to include. If I was writing templates from scratch, I would prefer this over the old version. The only thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to make the borders as thick as the borders on the legacy version, but that is just my own shortcoming I think.

Able to customize this new template with no issues. Able to add image (logo) on it.

Updated the code manually but not very complicated. Need to have a basic understanding of coding, including CSS and liquid template.

I give it 4-star because of not able to automatically migrate templates from the old version.

Downloaded after long time use of the legacy Order Printer which works very well, at no extra cost! Thank you Shopify.

If feedback is welcome I would love to see:

- Block style editing of the order form, similar to an e-mail creator. The current CSS style editing is limited for most who don't have the knowledge to work in this format.

- In the order overview tab, please add the option for view more columns, the most helpful for our business would be "Delivery Method" as we need to distinguish between Standard, Express & other delivery methods. This will determine the priority in which orders are printed and dispatched.

- The inclusion of tags at the order overview stage. This also gives more information at a glance when printing orders.

Other than these points the Order Printer app is a great option if you do not want to download 3rd Party apps, and as mentioned, at no extra cost it's a very good option :)
