Providing customers with PDF documents automatically will not only reduce the number of customer requests you receive but also help cut down on paper usage.
One-time setup
Documents generated through automated PDF links are not stored or saved by the app. Instead, the file is created dynamically when the link is clicked. This ensures that the PDF reflects the latest data and settings every time it is downloaded.
After you create the template, you want to provide to customers, you can follow these steps:
1- Log in to Order Printer Pro (Shopify admin > Apps)
2- Go to Automated PDFs in the left navigation menu
3- Select the template you would like to provide to customers automatically, then click the Setup PDF link button.
4- The PDF link settings page will appear; fill out each field.
Note: It's essential to select the correct email or page in the Where do you want to add this PDF link? field, as this changes the instructions you see in the following steps.
5- Once you have filled out the fields, click the Next step button
6- You will now be provided with step-by-step instructions on how to add the needed PDF download link code to the selected email or webpage.
Multi-language support
If your store is multilingual and you want it to be added to the email/page based on the customer's language, make sure to configure a multilingual template and set up the Automated PDF on all language versions of your email. If you set up multiple languages with Shopify, you'll find those under "Localize":
Also, if you use the Translate and Adapt app by Shopify and want to include the automated PDF on the various language versions of your email, be sure to paste the setup snippet into the HTML/Code editor, not the regular text editor.
This is important, as pasting it into the editor could cause your email layout to break, since it won't render the snippet correctly as code. Here's an overview of the steps:
💡You can repeat the PDF link setup as often as you like. Each template can have multiple PDF download links, added to different emails and webpages.
