This article will explain how to print new orders automatically from PrestaShop.

This solution requires you to download and install Automatic Email Manager software for Windows and our ‘New order alert invoice attached‘ PrestaShop module.

The Automatic Email Manager software monitors your e-mailbox and automatically detects new emails then applies the defined actions such as printing the attached order invoice PDF document.

The New order alert notification with invoice attached PrestaShop module simply attaches the invoice PDF to the new email order alert notification.

The ‘new order email alert with invoice attached’ module can be downloaded from our PrestaShop Modules Store.  Click here for more information.
