I am not sure why Shopify does not improve the ‘Shopify Order Printer’ to make it easier to use and send invoices after orders are shipped automatically. Instead, Shopify suggests spending more money on third-party apps that are not located in the UK or EU. Concerns about GDPR compliance and data retention for our customers’ data remain unclear with those firms that sells apps from https://apps.shopify.com/
Hi, there! Thanks for your review! We understand the importance of having efficient and compliant tools to manage your business operations, especially when it comes to handling customer data under GDPR. It's important to note that Shopify does not have control over the data handling practices of third-party app developers. To ensure that any third-party app you consider is compliant with GDPR and meets your standards for data privacy and security, we strongly recommend reviewing the Privacy Policy of each app before installation. You can find these policies on the app’s listing page in the Shopify App Store. -Maz, Shopify Support
Ever heard the saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"? This applies perfectly to what Shopify did with the order printer app. We finally had it all customized exactly how we liked it, and then they are now forcing us to "upgrade" to a literally inferior product. My main gripe is that the new order printer STILL doesn't import variant selections from orders that are imported in from outside of Shopify (I.E. Etsy Orders, Ebay Orders, Etc). PLEASE just let us keep using Legacy Order Printer until you get your poop together with the new app.
Hey, there! We appreciate your feedback. We'll pass this on to our development team so they can consider it for future updates. -Summer, Shopify Support
The font is too small on the Order form. There doesn't appear to be any way to permanently tick to remove the default to print Packing Form. It wastes so much paper to print the orders & throw away the packing sheet. I loved the original Legacy Order Printer. It was easily customised, larger font, so less room for error when packing orders. This seems like a dumbed down version that has replaced a perfectly functional order printer. Why??

The update is not friendly at all. We've not been able to transfer templates suitably, and the consistent issues between the legacy printer, and the updated version is horrendous.

Absolutely awful app. No preparation made for customers for the switch. No easy transfer across. Seems to be an intentional need to use a 3rd party app or developer to make things work. Worst yet is they've started messing with the legacy app which is forcing people to jump to the new app before they've made the relevant preparations. My whole operation came to a grinding halt this morning because of their changes. 15 staff being paid to do nothing while we await a developer to get to the office and make amendments so that we can print our specialised packing slips...

I just installed the new App, and I have to say everything about it is extremely craptacular. Halfbaked isn't even a remarkedly close comparison. Raw and still mostly frozen is a better description. I can't believe anyone would consider this App ready for deployment. The type is microscopic. I can code but finding where to try and make changes is anything but obvious. Changes like this make me wish we hadn't gone with Shopify.

Does not work properly. The templates from the legacy were perfect, and I've used them or years. I migrated the templates per instructions, but the order number is missing, as well as the date and email fields. Not great. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And if you're going to fix it, make sure you have a solution that works. This is not it guys. Horrible, huge misstep.
Hi, there! Thank you for your feedback and review. The new app architecture is designed to allow for more functionality and updates in the near future. I recommend contacting our live support team through the Help Center (https://shopify.link/vRnL) so we can take a closer look at any issues you're having. Thanks again! - Greta, Shopify Support
Wow, what a disappointment. The original Order Printer was certainly not the best, but I presume most of us eventually got it to work and considered that a sunk cost. Years later and this is what you've got? You have to be kidding! I'm hours into it and I still can't get decent results, the templates are lousy and it has been super flaky, sometimes completely failing to load. This clearly comes down to an absolutely poorly managed Product Management group. There appears to be absolutely no voice of customer at Shopify. Who in the world asked for this? Wake up Shopify! When your own app can't even get a 2.0 rating something is broken, that starts with Product Management. Fix It! Someone should be held accountable.

I'm only using this app to print an invoice for B2B customers when needed. Given this use, I do believe this app is an improvement compared to the legacy app. The standard template looks much better, and with some HTML knowledge you can improve the template.
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.

I do not like the new app at all. My old template doesn't work and I can't seem to edit this one with any of the coding. Someone please tell me how to get the shipping title to show on the packing slip? It takes too much time to look at each order individually to see what shipping method to use. I tried several of the variables and none of them are working!

When you think UPGRADE, you think Improvement. Not the case here. Shopify should have a core comprehensive Order Printer app, AT NO COST considering the monthly cost shop owners already incur. The existing (legacy) order printer works and has some customization in the code that works for my business. I do over 11,000 orders per year. Now Shopify is forcing a migration to an inferior order printer app, by sunsetting the legacy order printer. You should have a choice or a "Voice" as a shop owner. It's almost as if they are forcing you to pay for a 3rd party app, so Shopify can generate more revenue. This is shameful corporate greed. Shame on you Shopify!

Works well and much more flexible than legacy version
What a piece of crap. Code does not work - looks like crap - very unprofessional and thrust upon us without warning - sip your coffee you billionaire who easily can take advantage of us - not happy - not good. william g.

There is a bug that continues to populate an extra blank sheet at the end no matter what I do to this buggy code.

Little to no functionality. The instructions to migrate templates does not work. There is not a way to customize new templates. The current printer app was fine. Wish I could just continue using the legacy version.
Thank you for reaching out and bringing this to our attention. There are some adjustments that will be required when migrating your existing templates from Order Printer to Shopify Order Printer (https://shopify.link/18NL), such as changing some of the variables. However, if you need further assistance with migrating or customizing the templates, then this is something that our Theme Support team can help you with. Simply visit the Shopify Help Center (https://shopify.link/vRnL) and login to your account to create a customization request. Cheers. -Elias, Shopify Support
Absolutely awful. Templates don't migrate and no easy way to start over and create new templates branded and customized to your store - even from scratch. What a total about face from the old Order Printer app. For now, this is completely unusable, but I'm sure Shopify will force us to use this at some point in the future. The best you can do with this app is a basic shipping list that looks like a printout from a hardware store.

If you are still running Lagecy do yourself a favor DO NOT GET THIS! Once Lagcey is removed find another option. I would leave a review but I think most other people have already pointed out how once again Shopify has taken something not broken and broke it.
