Shopify Order Printer

What a mess! Shopify constantly changes things for no reason, makes it complicated to adjust to a new app, doesn't provide the same features and usually results into having to pay more!

Much better than the previous app, formatting for printing actually works. I regret that logo and product pics aren't on the invoices by default though.

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.

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.

UPDATE: Fabulous news, the new fucntionality allowing us to import templates from the old ( legacy) order printer app is BRILIANT! Thank you!! You listened. It works perfectly. 5 STAR!

Why oh why can't we have a tempate builder? Why do we need to be coders? I used the originl Order Pinter app for years and it was great...you purchased templates from its sister app and had the WYSIWYG functionality to help you to adapt it. Perfect. Now, I am not able to modfiy your new layouts to fit my label paper, for instance..I use S3 integrated label paper to create picking lists and to add shipping-to labels onto the order! Like almost everyone who runs a small business, I imagine? So I have bought another app...VERY unhappy, Shopify. Your TWo designs - packing and invoice - are rubbish and dont work for me...why can't i use the code from the old app? Why does your system reject it? NOT HAPPY

The worst rollout of a product. Most basic backend Shopify items are GUI, except this. Why? The legacy version worked fine for years before Shopify broke it. The import to this new app was easy, but completely INCONSISTENT. (Which is the most frustrating part!!) So one imported file (the one we use least) looks great - like the legacy version, while the 3 others are useless, especially the packing slip, which only shows two boxes, a ship to and a ship from address. No other information shows, even though there is code. Not only is this new "automated" rollout useless, but now it is wasting my time and delaying the shipment of orders while we figure out how to fix something that SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN BROKEN in the first place!! Thanks for nothing!!

If you de-select the "packing slip" option, it says unable to find order on shopify POS. I wish shopify would stop changing things that no-one has asked for and work on the multiple other issues in POS.

Very disappointing "update". The nature of our production workflow depends on an ever changing and highly customizable order printer template - And while the legacy app is by no means perfect, I was always able to achieve whatever customization I had set out to accomplish - So when I saw the message that Shopify was sunsetting the old order printer app and migrating to this new one, I had high hopes that they would improve upon the already solid foundation that was the legacy app. I expected, at minimum, quality of life improvements, and was hopeful for some new features.
 
Instead what I got was an app that is objectively worse in every regard. I say this with no exaggeration or hyperbole: I have yet to find a single thing the new app does better than the legacy app - And worse, there are many cases where the new app does not support some functionality that the legacy app had for years. This is simply unacceptable when my company and many others not only rely on these functions, but have been using them without issue for many years.
 
Just to name a few:
1. Page breaks - The new app does not seem to support any method of forcing a page break
2. Custom scripts - The legacy app was capable of importing JavaScript libraries and running custom JS functions to perform actions within the template. The new app blocks user scripts and this is no longer possible
3. Float styling - New app does not support styling such as “float: right;”
 
I am not asking for more. I do not need the new app to do anything better than the old - But at bare minimum it needs to support the things that we have all become accustomed to through years of using the old app. And to be clear: I do not mind the liquid object name changes - As an intermediate/ advanced user, it is easy to modify existing variable names to get them to function in the new app and I understand changes like these are sometimes necessary despite the temporary frustration it might cause merchants.

Early on this app was a mess, but now it looks like most if not all of the issues have been cleared up. Using it daily just like the legacy app with no more issues.

I was unsettled by the many bad recessions. But I didn't let that stop me from trying. After 10 minutes it was done and everything runs as smooth as it did before. I found it easy to migrate my templates. But I am very interested in programming and so I am able to read, understand and edit html or other codes. So I agree - a user without any programming background may find this very difficult and will need further instructions or help.
