Printing drafts

Generate and print PDF documents for your draft orders. Create professional invoices or quotes for customers before they pay, perfect for phone orders, B2B quotes, or custom pricing scenarios.

Why This Matters

  • Send professional quotes to potential customers

  • Print draft invoices for manual order processing

  • Process multiple draft orders efficiently with bulk printing

  • Use your custom templates for consistent branding


How It Works

When you click the print icon on a draft order, the app opens a print page where you select templates, choose a language, and preview the PDF. The preview shows exactly what will be printed. For bulk printing, all selected drafts combine into a single PDF with page breaks between each document.


1

Find and click the printer icon

Go to Draft Orders, find your draft, and click the printer icon in the Actions column.

2

Select template and preview

Choose your template(s), select a language if needed, and preview the PDF.

3

Download and print

Click Download to save the PDF, then print from your computer.

Alternative: From the detail page, click Print in the page actions (top-right).


Bulk Print

Print multiple draft orders at once (up to 30). All drafts combine into a single PDF.

1

Select draft orders

Check the boxes next to each draft you want to print. Use Shift+click to select a range.

2

Click Print draft orders

In the bulk action bar, click Print draft orders.

3

Download and print

Choose your template(s) and language, then click Download. Print the combined PDF from your computer.

Note: For batches over 30, the PDF is emailed to you instead.


Use a Different Template

Select which template to use each time you print:

At Print Time

When you click the print icon and open the print page, you'll see a template selector. Choose a different template from the list. You can even select multiple templates to include in the same PDF.

Change the Default

If you want a different template pre-selected every time:

1

Go to Templates

Navigate to Templates in the sidebar to see all your templates.

2

Find your preferred template

Locate the template you want to use as your default for draft orders.

3

Set as Default

Click Set as Default on that template. This template will now be pre-selected on the print page, but you can still switch to others when needed.

Common Questions & Issues

Your browser may be blocking navigation. Look for a pop-up blocked notification in your browser's address bar and allow pop-ups for this site. Then try clicking the print icon again.

The PDF is still being generated. Wait 2-3 seconds and it should appear. If it stays blank, try refreshing the page. For persistent issues, check PDF Issuesarrow-up-right in troubleshooting.

Yes. Create or select a template that's designed as a quote (different title, terms, etc.) in the Templates section. Then select that template when printing. The app uses whatever template you choose.

For large bulk prints, the PDF is generated in the background and emailed to your account email. Check your inbox (and spam folder) for an email from the app. Generation may take a few minutes for large batches.
