Shopify Order Printer

UPDATE: Vast improvement with the new IMPORT feature that Shopify has just added. I imported my legacy templates into the Shopify Order Printer and they work perfectly and once again they look beautiful. Thank you for listening, Shopify, and for creating an easy way for shopowners who do not code or mess with liquid to easily recreate their order forms from a legacy app into your app. From a 1 star review to a 5 star review.

INITIAL REVIEW: Horrible, frankly. Confusing, not intuitive - you need html knowledge to customize and edit the code. I copied and pasted the code from my legacy app and even with that there are myriad changes that have to be made to add order number. correct date, add shipping. This new app is frustrating and sloppy. Absolutely no way to easily edit this code without vast html experience.

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

Updated: Changed from 1 back to 5 stars. Thank you for taking the time to ensure templates were completely compatible with new version. They look and work perfectly without me having to do any additional coding. Happy to hear that Shopify (unlike some other platforms) takes the time to listen to their customers and work out the kinks. Very happy.

This update is a significant improvement for us! We now have the ability to include more detailed information in our invoices and packing lists, thanks to the use of metafields, customer notes, and a wide range of variables and styles. While the new requirement for object names in variable names was unexpected, it ultimately allowed us to enhance our documents exactly how we wanted. It would have been convenient to automatically transfer the old Order Printer Templates, but we understand it’s a complex task.

Overall, great job on this much-needed upgrade!

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.

I have been using it with custom templates and works flawlessly everytime, thanks

new migration built in to order printer app worked easily and flawlessl.
great job!

Dear Shopify Team,

Thank you once again for your exceptional support. It is actions like these that solidify our partnership and make Shopify an indispensable part of our business operations.

Original Review:

Dear Shopify Support Team,

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent changes to the Order Printer app. While I appreciate the new version’s ability to quickly set up and print custom packing slips, invoices, labels, and receipts, the critical issue lies in the requirement for major customizations.

The statement that “Shopify Theme Support can assist with minor customizations” does little to alleviate our concerns. For many of us who lack expertise in HTML, CSS, and coding, major customizations are now an insurmountable challenge. The need to hire third-party apps, designers, or developers incurs additional expenses that significantly impact our businesses.

As business owners, we rely on the tools provided by Shopify to serve our customers effectively. The original Order Printer app was a testament to Shopify’s understanding of our needs, and its removal has left a significant void. We are not merely users; we are your partners in commerce.

Therefore, I strongly request the reinstatement of the original Order Printer app. Please consider the collective voice of your user community, which relies on the robustness and dependability of your platform. Swift action to address these concerns would demonstrate Shopify’s commitment to supporting businesses of all sizes.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

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: ", " }}
