Autoprinter vs Vify Order Printer

Does Vify Order Printer print orders automatically? Its listing and help center describe no automatic printing: you print by choosing Print selected in the Shopify orders list or the print icon in the app. Autoprinter prints them for you, sending packing slips and invoices to your own printers as orders come in, and prints Shopify shipping labels with zero clicks.

Vify Order Printer PDF Invoice is an invoicing app with an order printer. It makes invoices, packing slips, refunds, quotes, pro forma and commercial invoices, supports European e-invoicing formats such as Peppol, ZUGFeRD and Factur-X, and can upload documents to Google Drive. Templates are set up by turning sections on or off, with no code.

If you print invoices yourself and need e-invoicing or commercial invoices, Vify Order Printer may be all you need. If you want printing to happen without you, that is what Autoprinter is for.

Facts as of October 25, 2026

Why choose Autoprinter over Vify Order Printer

  • Prints by itself. Packing slips and invoices print when an order is placed, paid or fulfilled, with nobody pressing Print.
  • Zero-click shipping labels. Buy a label in Shopify as usual and it comes out of your label printer, with no print dialog.
  • Every document an order needs, together. The Print Chain prints each order's packing slip, invoice, return slip or gift receipt in one go: automatically, or from the order's More actions menu with Auto Print Chain.
  • Labels, sheets and receipt rolls, each on its own printer. Letter, A4, 4 × 6 labels and 80 mm or 58 mm receipts go straight to the printer that matches.
  • The right document for each order. Print Rules choose which template prints, and on which Print Station, for each order.
  • Your brand, already filled in. Autoprinter picks up your Shopify logo and colors when you install it, and Re-sync from Shopify pulls in later changes.
