To ensure that invoices, kitchen receipts or adhesive labels for pre-orders are only printed shortly before preparation or production, you can set specific print parameters in the store settings. Here are detailed instructions:
Navigate to Stores > Store > Settings > Delivery and pickup settings.
Here you will find several options:
Pre-orders are printed at the time of delivery:
If this option is activated, all necessary printing (invoices, kitchen receipts, labels) will be triggered exactly at the time of the pre-order time. This means that printing only takes place when the order is due.
Time in minutes for pre-printing the pre-order:
Here you can set how many minutes before the scheduled delivery time the print should be triggered. This setting is particularly helpful to ensure sufficient time for preparation and delivery. Example: If you enter “30 minutes”, the order will be printed 30 minutes before the delivery time.
Number of days for pre-order:
In this field, you can specify how far in advance customers can place pre-orders. This ensures that no orders appear in the system and are printed too early.
