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.
Thank you for taking the time and sharing this feedback. While you can transfer existing templates from Order Printer to Shopify Order Printer (https://shopify.link/18NL), there are some adjustments to you will need to make to the existing variables.

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.
Hi there. Thank you for your review. For some context, we upgraded the app as we transitioned over to a different tech stack that provides a better foundation to grow and roll out features. If you are having issues, please contact us via the Help Center: https://shopify.link/1w5D. That way, our developers can take a closer look. -Mac, Shopify Support
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.

It has been most difficult to transfer our invoice templates to this app from the legacy version. I've had to teach myself enough coding to be able to figure out how to make the old template work here, which has taken me so many working hours, for there to find out afterwards that there's issues that many other people are experiencing because they haven't even been fixed by the developers yet. After all that work our template isn't ready to be used yet because there's no solution to page breaks, and the time to use the legacy version is running out. I'm sure I'm speaking for many of us users when I ask for an extension on the legacy app availability, or these issues being fixed asap AND providing sufficient support to those users that don't have the resources to deal with it themselves.

cannot load the old template. can this please be resolved?
Hi, there! Thank you for reaching out and sharing your question. To migrate your old templates, you'll need to copy your template's code from the legacy app, and then paste the code into the new app. However, the new Shopify Order Printer app has a slightly different implementation than the legacy Order Printer app. This means that some of your existing templates might not work initially, and you might need to make some adjustments to your template's code. If you need help with this step, you can reach out to our authenticated Support here (https://shopify.link/vRnL) so we can take a more detailed look. -Victoria, Shopify Support.
So far I dislike it. The original one easily allowed you to add logo and the packing slip had large customer address so you can use as a shipping label. We need to be able to easily create to suit our styles
Thank you for sharing this feedback. You can customize the templates (https://shopify.link/p131), which allows you to add your logo or adjust the width of the tables. However, if you need help with these customizations, 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
Terrible app! Shopify is forcing everyone to migrate without making it simple to do so. If you don't know how to code, it is impossible to do this. No easy way to copy an existing template across as they have changed all the variables. SHOPIFY - You know what you have changed! Please provide us with a help page where we can simply paste our legacy template code, and the variables are automatically corrected. This will enable us to easily intergrate it into the new app.
Thanks for taking the time and sharing this feedback. While we do have a guide to help with migrating the templates from Order Printer to Shopify Order Printer (https://shopify.link/18NL), you will need to update the variables on the existing template. If you need help with migrating the templates and adjusting the variables, then this is something that our Theme Support team can help you with. Please visit the Shopify Help Center (https://shopify.link/vRnL) and login to your account to create a customization request. Cheers. -Elias, Shopify Support
The print document button cannot use suddenly on Shopiiy POS
Thank you for letting us know! Please contact our team via the Help Center so we can investigate and work towards a resolution: https://shopify.link/1w5D. -Sophia, Shopify Support
The ability to change the output with HTML or Liquid is excellent. No other e-commerce service offers this level of freedom. Invoices could be created in a specified format. Only one feature was reduced. That is that when you output a file as a PDF, it is output with the same file name. In the old 'order print' the order number was included in the file name, so there was no risk of overwriting the file. Thanks to the development team for a great programme. Please keep improving it.
