Further down the same page you'll find the app's basic and advanced options:

The basic and advanced options on the settings page
The basic and advanced options
FieldDescription
COD payment method nameThe name of your cash-on-delivery payment method in Shopify.
Print TypeThe type of printer you'll print vouchers on: Laser Printer (A4) or Thermal Printer (A6).
Add the Order Number to the Voucher's NotesWhen set to “Yes”, the order number is added to the start of the voucher notes, which are printed on the voucher.
Add the Product SKUs to the Voucher's NotesWhen set to “Yes”, the SKUs of the order's products, separated by commas, are added to the start of the voucher notes.
Add your own Text to the Voucher's NotesAdds your own text to the start or the end of the voucher notes. Choose “Disabled” to turn it off.
Text to add to the Voucher's NotesThe text to add, e.g. “OPEN BEFORE PAYING”. It becomes editable once you choose start or end in the previous setting.

Any delivery notes your customer leaves on the order are also added to the voucher notes automatically. Changes to the notes options apply to vouchers created after you save.

4 vouchers per A4 sheet: choose Thermal Printer (A6) as the Print Type and, when you bulk-print vouchers from Google Chrome, set Pages per sheet to 4. This lets you print on A4 sticker paper with 4 labels.

Advanced options

If you don't need to check the shipment details every time, you can skip the voucher creation screen altogether:

FieldDescription
Skip the voucher creation screenWhen set to “Yes”, vouchers are created straight away with the default values, without opening the voucher creation screen first. You'll be asked to confirm when you turn it on.
Print voucher afterWhether the voucher PDF opens for printing right after it's created.
Fulfill orderWhether the order is marked as fulfilled in Shopify, with the ACS tracking number.
Notify customerWhether your customer gets a shipping notification email.

The last three fields are only enabled when the creation screen is skipped, and they replace the matching choices on that screen. If a voucher can't be created, because a detail is missing or ACS returns an error, the creation screen opens as usual so you can fix it.

Double-check that everything is correct, click Save, and you're ready to create vouchers!

4Create a voucher

To create a voucher for an order, open the order's details page (the Orders menu, then click the order you want to ship).

Then click the More Actions menu at the top right, as shown below:

Check that the details are correct and fill in anything missing. You can add notes for the courier in the Delivery Notes field.

  • Print voucher sets whether the voucher is printed right after it's created.
  • Fulfill order sets whether the order is marked as fulfilled in Shopify and gets the ACS tracking number.
  • Notify customer sets whether your customer gets a shipping notification email. You can fulfill an order without notifying the customer, if you prefer.

All of them are set to yes by default. Click Create Voucher: the voucher is created and opens as a PDF in a new tab, ready to print.

If you've turned on Skip the voucher creation screen in the settings, this screen is skipped and the voucher is created straight away with the default values.
