Set up BizPrint for your Shopify store with Auto Order Printer

This page shows you how to connect your Shopify store to BizPrint with Auto Order Printer, the BizPrint app for Shopify. It is for Shopify store owners and the people who set up printing for them. Auto Order Printer prints with the BizPrint desktop app, so your printers must be connected to a computer that runs it.

When you finish, your store is connected to BizPrint and has a printer location: a set of print settings that says which printer to use and what the printout looks like.

Create an application for your store

Section titled “Create an application for your store”

An application is the connection between your store and BizPrint. It has its own Public Key and Secret Key. You also give it a webhook address from the app, so BizPrint can tell your store about print jobs. See Add the webhook address to your application.
