Invoice Autopilot vs. Shopify Order Printer

Shopify's free app prints invoices from templates. When that is enough and when automatic e-invoices make sense.

Vendor information as of 6 October 2026

Shopify Order Printer is Shopify’s own free app for printing invoices, packing slips and other documents from customizable templates. It replaces the former “Order Printer” app. Information reflects 6 October 2026 and comes from the App Store listing and Shopify Help.

When Shopify Order Printer is enough

  • You occasionally need a printed document and want to design it freely.
  • You sell only to consumers and already have another solution for bookkeeping and archiving.
  • It should cost nothing.

When Invoice Autopilot makes sense

  • Invoices and credit notes should be created without a click as soon as Shopify reports payment or refund – unclear cases are shown for review.
  • You need e-invoices to EN 16931 for business customers, with a validation report.
  • You want sequential, separate number ranges, one credit note per attributable refund (without duplicates) and a monthly export for your accountant.
