Order Printer Templates vs Printout Designer

Order Printer Templates sells designed, ready-to-use templates for Shopify’s Order Printer and for Order Printer Pro: invoices, receipts, packing slips, refunds and returns forms, customised through a settings editor rather than code. It is the usual upgrade for a store on Order Printer that wants a branded document without writing Liquid.

The short answer

Order Printer Templates is a one-time purchase, $29 for the first template and $14 for each extra, that gives Shopify Order Printer a branded document without touching code. Printout Designer costs from $4.99 per month and replaces Order Printer entirely, with a drag-and-drop editor, labels, and automatic printing and email when an order reaches a status you choose.

Which one fits

Order Printer Templates suits a merchant who wants to stay on Shopify’s free Order Printer and pay once for a better-looking document. There is no subscription, customising and testing are free, and the template code is yours to edit afterwards.

A one-off template changes how the document looks but not how it gets out of the door. Printout Designer lays out any document by drag and drop, adds labels, prints through PrintNode or emails documents when an order reaches a status you choose, and runs on BigCommerce, Ecwid and WooCommerce as well.
