How to Auto Print Packing Slips in SureCart (PrintNode + WordPress Tutorial)

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to automatically print packing slips from your SureCart store using PrintNode and WordPress. We’ll go step-by-step through: Installing and setting up PrintNode locally Connecting your printer Authorising email-based printing Configuring SureCart with a custom plugin (Please Note: Packing Slips is an unreleased plugin) Automatically generating and printing packing slips at checkout This setup captures the SureCart checkout process, converts the order into a PDF packing slip, and sends it directly to your printer via email. How It Works Customer completes checkout in SureCart Order data is captured A PDF packing slip is generated (via DOMPDF) The file is emailed to PrintNode Your printer automatically prints the packing slip Why Use Email Instead of API? Using email makes this setup more flexible and universal—so it can work with other systems beyond PrintNode if needed. An example I have yet to test is AutoPrintEmail or Power Automate TimeStamps: 00:00 – Intro & PrintNode account setup 00:44 – Installing PrintNode software 01:31 – Configuring printer & local setup 01:50 – Connecting to PrintNode dashboard 02:24 – Setting up email printing (SureMail SMTP) 02:47 – Authorising email in PrintNode 03:07 – Installing WordPress plugin 03:45 – Configuring packing slip settings 04:13 – Testing checkout (SureCart order) 05:19 – Product variations & order details explained 05:44 – Checkout & triggering print 06:19 – Verifying print via email logs 06:45 – Reviewing generated packing slip 07:09 – Wrap up & explanation of workflow 🔧 Tools I Use: Some links may be affiliate links, but I only recommend tools I use and trust.
