How to create Print Buttons
You can create printing buttons by opening Printrooster Order Printing —> Buttons and selecting + New button. Buttons can be created for order templates and packing slips (Enterprise only).
Button Settings
Select + New button or open the settings of an existing button. Open the settings of printing buttons from either front page of Printrooster or from the Buttons section.
Each printing button must be given a Name and can be grouped after you have created printing button groups to the front page. Creating groups is not necessary, but can be helpful if you have a lot of different kind of buttons.

Order template: Select the order template used for printing orders from this button
Sort orders by: You can sort the orders based on Order number, Variant SKU and quantities, Shipping country or Postal code and address
Printing batch maximum size: Set the maximum amount of orders printed. True maximum is 100

Shipping locations (Enterprise only): Assign the locations that this printing button is visible for.
Activated: Make the printing button visible at the front page of Printrooster
Tag processed orders: Orders printed from this button get the assigned order tag

Filtering rules allow you to include or exclude orders to appear in certain print button. Use multiple factors to filter orders:
Order data: such as fulfillment status and payment status
Shipping data: such as shipping zones or shipping method title
Customer data: such as customer tags or number of orders created
Product data: include or exclude orders based on product types, product tags or vendor found in orders
Custom line item properties: include or exclude orders based on line item properties. Specify property name and property value
Include * = Order ONLY appears behind the printing if the order contains the parameter
Exclude * = Order DOES NOT appear behind the printing button if the order contains the parameter
3. Print Orders
How to print orders using Printrooster Order Printing
Print orders with Print Buttons
We recommend printing unfulfilled orders from the printing button found in Printroosters front page. This way you can always print out the orders in the correct sequence plus the printed orders are transferred to the printed batches section. Once the previous batch of orders have been collected, processed and shipped, you can move on to the next one!
Click on the printing button, check the preview if necessary and click "Print amount orders". Orders printed from the printing button are given the "order printed" tag, specified in printing button.
Print multiple orders from Shopify's orders list
Open the Orders section from Shopify Admin. Select the orders you want to print (maximum of 50), click on the More actions menu (three dots ...) -> Print with Printrooster. Select correct order template and picking list, check the preview if necessary and select "Print amount orders".
Orders that are printed with Printrooster from the Orders section are not tagged by the app!
Printing a single order
Open the Orders section from Shopify Admin. Open one order, select More actions --> Print with Printrooster.
Select correct order template and picking list, check the preview if necessary and click on the "Print amount orders" button. Orders printed are not tagged by the app!
Useful information
How to send invoice to customer as PDF
You can generate a code snippet and include it in your order confirmation email to allow customers to download their order receipt as PDF file.
Printrooster -> Settings -> Guide -> Create PDF receipt link
Select the order template you want to use
This generates PDF receipt link and code snippet to display a download PDF receipt button for the order confirmation email. Just copy the code snippet and paste it in the desired spot in the order confirmation notification. Order confirmation notification can be edited at:
Shopify Admin -> Settings -> Notifications -> Customer notifications
How can I add our logo to templates?
Open the template you want to edit. Select Code editor, and look for the correct line to use the logo at. In Default order template, content-header starts at line 13. There's shop-name div at line 14.
<h1 class="shop-name">....</h1>
Replace the line with this:
<img class="logo" src="https://your-logo-source-url">
Replace https://your-logo-url with the source URL of your logo found in your Shopify Files: Shopify Admin -> Content -> Files.
Sometime it's good to use some CSS styling to make the size of the logo suit your order template. You can do this from the Styles section with something like this:
.logo {
max-width: 250px;
}
You can adjust the max-width if needed.
Changing font for templates
Open the template you want to edit. Select the Styles section. If you want to change the font of the whole template. Add your custom font to the selector "receipt-wrapper" at the top like this:
font-family: "Helvetica";
This changes the font for the whole template.
