Shopify Order Printer Invoice Design A - Set up Guide

This guide will provide you with all the steps required to add your new Shopify Order Printer Invoice template to your Shopify site. If you have not yet purchased the invoice template you can do so by clicking here.

To complete this set up process you will need to have an image for your business logo and have downloaded the template code, which will have been emailed to you following your purchase (shopify_order_printer_invoice_design_a.txt).

 

Step 1 - Log into Shopify

Ensure you are logged into the Shopify Admin area.

 

Step 2 - Install the Shopify Order Printer App

If you do not already have the free Shopify Order Printer app installed on your store, head over to https://apps.shopify.com/order-printer and install/add the application.

 

Step 3 - Upload your business logo to Shopify

  1. Within the Shopify Admin area, click on Settings in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen
  2. Select Files from the left-hand menu
  3. If you do not already have a logo image uploaded, click Upload Files and upload your business logo image (for best results, ensure the logo is cropped, so whitespace around the image is removed)
  4. Within the file table, click the link icon to the right of the logo and copy the image URL
    File Upload Image for Shopify
  5. Paste the link copied in part D somewhere that can be easily accessed later on in the process

Examples of where you could paste the links are Notepad or Word applications. It does not matter what you choose, as the links only need to be held temporarily whilst you set up this template.

 

Step 4 - Add the new template code

  1. Open the Order Printer app from within the Apps menu (left-hand menu within the Shopify admin area)
  2. Click Manage Templates
  3. Click Add Template
  4. Enter a name for your invoice template in the Name field
  5. Open the downloaded shopify_order_printer_invoice_design_a.txt file
  6. Highlight and copy all of the code for your new invoice template that is beneath the dashed line
  7. Paste the copied code into the Code section of the Order Printer Template Details in Shopify on line 1

Step 5 - Add your business logo to the new template

  1. On line 8 {% assign logo-url = "PASTE LOGO URL HERE" %}, replace PASTE LOGO URL HERE with the image URL that was copied in Step 3 Part 4 (do not delete the speech marks)
  2. Adjust the logo width and height values on lines 9 and 10
  3. If you wish to display the logo on the left hand side, on line 11 change {% assign logo-position = "right" %} to {% assign logo-position = "left" %}

 

Step 6 - Use the template as a receipt (if applicable)

On line 12, change {% assign templ-title = "Invoice" %} to {% assign templ-title = "Receipt" %}

  

Step 7 - Change the horizontal line colour (if applicable)

If you wish to change the colour of the invoice horizontal lines, change the hexadecimal colour value on line 13 within the two speech marks.

 

Step 9 - Change the footer text

Edit the text within the speech marks for lines 14 - 17.

If you wish to leave a line blank, remove the text leaving only the speech marks, for example:

{% assign footer-line-one = "" %}

 

 Step 10 - Save the template

Click the Save button.

 

Step 11 - Select your default templates

Check the template(s) that you would like to print by default when using the Order Printer app.
