Description
The Auto Print for WooCommerce connects your WooCommerce store directly to your local thermal receipt or office desk printers. Whenever an order changes status, this plugin formats the order data using beautiful pre-configured layouts and sends it instantly to your desktop printer client.
Key Features
- Real-time Cloud Printing: Connect and print order receipts immediately on status transitions.
- Pre-designed Templates: Choose from Thermal Receipt (80mm/58mm), Standard A4 Invoice, or Packing Slips with built-in Code 39 barcodes.
- Smart Conditional Logic: Define custom rules to determine when templates are printed based on payment methods, shipping methods, billing/shipping countries, order totals, item counts, or specific products/categories/tags.
- Visual Toggles: Toggle display of logo, customer notes, prices, barcodes, and custom QR codes from settings.
- Live Sandbox Preview: Test and adjust your templates using order data directly inside the WooCommerce admin.
External Service
This plugin connects to The Auto Print API to process and route cloud print jobs. Data is only sent to The Auto Print when a print event is triggered (e.g., a new order is placed or a file is sent).
