Printrooster’s Print Buttons Overview
Printrooster’s print buttons allow you to organize and segment your order processing workflow based on your business’s specific needs. Instead of handling orders manually one by one or using a one-size-fits-all approach, you can create unique print buttons that automatically filter and separate orders by carrier, payment method, customer type, or even specific products.
Each print button acts as a dedicated workflow tool, letting you process specific orders without worrying about overlapping or missed shipments. Whether you need to print packing slips for B2B orders, pre-orders, or only orders going through a specific shipping carrier, these buttons give you total control.
Key benefits: Streamlined order processing, greater customization, and reduced manual sorting.
Dedicate Different Order or Picking List Templates for Each Button
With Printrooster, you can customize not only how orders are filtered, but also the design of the documents each button generates. You can assign different templates for invoices, packing slips, or picking lists depending on the specific order type.
For example, a button dedicated to VIP customers could generate packing slips with personalized thank-you notes or exclusive offers, while a button for B2B customers might include detailed tax information or purchase order numbers. Similarly, you can create separate picking lists for orders that are shipped by different carriers or fulfilled from different warehouse locations.
By tailoring templates to each order type, you ensure that each shipment is packed and processed with the correct documentation, improving both the customer experience and internal efficiency.
Key benefits: Customized documentation for different order types, enhanced customer communication, and streamlined warehouse workflows.
Select Order Sequence, Filters, and Templates for Each Button
Printrooster lets you configure each print button with specific sorting options, filters, and templates to suit your needs. For instance, you can choose to sort orders by shipping speed, ensuring that expedited orders are printed first. You can also filter orders by payment status, so only fully paid orders are included in your workflow.
You can sort the orders inside the button. Sort orders with order number, variant SKU and quantities, shipping country and postal code and address. Every merchant has different needs maybe you want to print orders in the order they came to the store. In order to do this you need to have sorting set to with order number and set reversed order on. This way the first order to be printed is the oldest order in your store.
With filtering rules you can rule out or in with order status, shipping, customer information, order information, product information or with custom line item properties. This is a very powerful tool and you can customize buttons to fit any kinds of need your store might have.
For example maybe you have VIP customers that you want to make sure to serve them first. No problem just create a personal button for VIP customers only with including only orders with customer tag "VIP". Or maybe you have a shipping method with fast delivery and you want to do those order always first thing in the morning. You can simply make a designated button for those orders only by ruling in a shipping method that contains certain name.
Key benefits: Full control over order sorting, precise filtering, and tailored templates for every workflow.
Print orders from different locations
Printrooster supports location based printing. You can also create templates that shows location based data. For example if you have two warehouses and an order comes in with items from both locations. You can have a template that creates own packing slips for the fulfillable order. The template can show automatically correct location data like where it is sent from.
There might also be a time when you need to split order in two or more fulfillments. Maybe an order comes in that has items that are available right away and items that come next week. You might want to send the items available right away and others when they arrive. You can split the order in separate fulfillments and print packing slip / receipt with Printrooster. Printing with Printroosters makes possible to have the data of the fulfillable order in the packing slip. So in your packing slip there is only the items that you are sending right away and next week when rest of the orders items arrive you can print packing slip for those aswell.
Remember to Exclude Orders from Other Buttons
One of the key advantages of Printrooster’s print buttons is the ability to exclude already-printed orders, ensuring you never accidentally print the same order twice. When setting up a button, you can specify that only unprinted orders are displayed, which prevents confusion and waste during the fulfillment process.
Additionally, if you have orders that need to be handled in separate workflows, such as pre-orders or backorders, you can ensure those orders are excluded from other buttons by assigning them to their specific buttons. This feature ensures a clear and organized flow for all orders, making it easy to manage different types of orders without overlap or duplication.
Key benefits: Reduced risk of printing the same order twice, clearer separation of different workflows, and more efficient order management.
