02 · Route it

Different orders. Different templates. Automatically.

Print rules pick the right template per order — by source, tag, ship-to state, anything you want. Amazon orders get the Amazon Packing Slip, wholesale POs get a Wholesaler Packing Slip, and Arizona orders use a Local-Pickup Packing Slip.

03 · Print it

Print as orders arrive. Or all at once.

Turn on Automatic Printing when an order is placed, paid, or fulfilled—you pick the trigger. Or select multiple orders in Shopify and print them together in one click. Your templates and Print Rules work the same way in both.

From one printer to many. Same setup.

Autoprinter in Shopify selects the right document and Print Station. The Desktop Utility runs on each station’s Windows or macOS computer, receives the print jobs, and sends them to its connected printers. Start with one station; add more in the same room or a different city.

Why this exists

A Shopify merchant got tired of paying for ShipStation.

Autoprinter was built by a Shopify merchant who got tired of paying for ShipStation to do one thing well — route the right document to the right printer with one click. ShipStation does that. It also does fifty other things he didn't need, at a price tier that didn't make sense for his store.

Autoprinter is the focused alternative. Same automation. Smaller footprint. Shopify-native. Free up to 50 orders/month so you can try it before paying anyone.

Pricing

Four plans. Pay for orders, not seats.

Free for up to 50 orders/month with the full feature set included. Every plan is identical except the monthly order ceiling — paid tiers just add headroom. 14-day trial on all paid tiers, no credit card.

Free $0 50 orders/mo
