Print invoices from your Shopify admin

Use this guide if you work from Shopify’s Orders page and want to print an invoice without switching to Invoice Falcon. By the end, you can print one order or many from Shopify’s Print menu, and jump to an order’s invoice page in Invoice Falcon in one click.

Before you begin

• These shortcuts are added to your Shopify admin when you install Invoice Falcon. There’s nothing to turn on.
• Printing from Shopify uses your Invoice Falcon templates, including your default template for orders.
• To email an invoice or edit it, use the More actions shortcut to open the order in Invoice Falcon.

Choose your setup

Use this	When
Print > Invoice Print Action on an order	You want to print one order’s invoice or packing slip.

More actions > Send or Print Invoice on an order	You want to email, edit or regenerate the invoice in Invoice Falcon.
More actions > Send or Print Quote on a draft order	You want to email or print the quote in Invoice Falcon.

What customers will see

Nothing. Printing doesn’t email the customer or change the order.

Set it up

Print one order

1. In your Shopify admin, click Orders and open the order.
2. At the top of the order page, click Print, then click Invoice Print Action. A print window opens with a preview.
3. Optional: under Template, click the radio button of the template you want, for example your packing slip. Your default is marked (default). The Template list only appears when you have more than one template.
4. Click Print in the window.

Print several orders

1. In your Shopify admin, click Orders.
2. Tick the checkboxes next to the orders you want.
3. In the bar that appears, click Print, then click Invoice Print Action (Orders).
4. Optional: under Template, pick the template. Every selected order prints with it.
5. Click Print in the window. Each order prints on its own page.

The template you pick applies to this print only. Your default doesn’t change. See Rename a template and set a default.

Open an order in Invoice Falcon

1. In your Shopify admin, open the order.
2. Click More actions at the top of the page, then click Send or Print Invoice.

The order’s page in Invoice Falcon opens, where you can print, email, edit or regenerate the invoice. For a draft order, click More actions, then Send or Print Quote. See Send quotes for draft orders.

Check your setup

1. Open a test order in Shopify and click Print > Invoice Print Action.
2. Check that the preview shows your logo and layout.
3. Pick your packing slip under Template and check that the preview changes.

Troubleshooting

I don't see Invoice Print Action in the Print menu

Check that Invoice Falcon is still installed, then reload the order page in Shopify. On the Orders list, the option only appears after you tick at least one order. If it’s still missing, contact support.

The Template list isn't shown

It only appears when your store has more than one template. With one template, that template is printed.

The print uses the wrong template

The print window starts on your default template for orders. Pick another under Template, or change your default.

Some selected orders are missing from the print

Invoice Falcon skips any order it can’t read from Shopify. Print the missing orders from their own order page, or from the Orders list in Invoice Falcon.

FAQ

Is this the same invoice as the one in Invoice Falcon?

Yes. It uses the same invoice and the same templates. Edits you made with Edit invoice show up in the print too.

Can I email an invoice from Shopify's order page?

Not directly. Click More actions > Send or Print Invoice to open the order in Invoice Falcon, then use the Send menu there. See Email an invoice to a customer.

What do Send or Print Invoice and Send or Print Invoices do on the Orders list?

They open Invoice Falcon’s Orders page. The orders you selected in Shopify aren’t carried over, so select them again there. To print several orders without leaving Shopify, use Print > Invoice Print Action (Orders) instead.

Can I print packing slips this way?

Yes. Pick your packing slip template under Template in the print window. See Print packing slips.
