Which one fits

CTS suits a Shopify merchant who prints labels from Stocky purchase orders on receipt, or who is comfortable with Liquid, or happy to ask support to adjust a template. It reaches into order data and supports a long list of label printers.

Printout Designer is the no-code route. Labels and full documents are laid out by dragging fields onto the page, invoices and packing slips come from the same editor, and documents print or email themselves when an order reaches a status you choose. It starts at a lower price and works on BigCommerce, Ecwid and WooCommerce too.
