Manage applications in the BizPrint dashboard

This page shows you how to view and change your applications in the BizPrint dashboard. It is for merchants, agencies and developers whose print jobs come from WooCommerce, Shopify or your own app through the Print API. An application is the connection between one store or app and BizPrint.

See your applications

Sign in to the BizPrint dashboard.
Click Applications in the menu. The My Applications list opens.

The list has these columns:

Name: the application’s name. A red warning triangle next to it means the application has a webhook problem (see Test the webhook connection for a BizPrint application).
URL/Domain: the address of the store or app.
Usage: shows Included when the application is part of your plan. A paid icon titled “Paid Application” means it is billed separately. For plan details, see BizPrint pricing.

A cross at the end of a row means BizPrint has recorded a webhook error for that application. A tick means no webhook error is recorded.

To check the webhook connection, run the test in Test the webhook connection for a BizPrint application.

If you have no applications, the list says “There are no applications created yet”. Click the + at the top of the page to create one. To set up an application for WooCommerce, see Create a BizPrint application for your WooCommerce store.

Open an application

Click an application’s row in the My Applications list. On a phone, tap the tick or cross icon in the row instead, because tapping elsewhere in the row does not open it. The Application page opens and shows:

Name, URL, and Webhook URL, each with its own Update button.
Platform and API Version, which you cannot change here.
The application’s Public Key and Secret Key.
Webhook Info, with a Perform test connection button.

Change the name, URL or webhook URL

Open the application.
Type the new value in the Name, URL or Webhook URL box.
Click Update next to that box. Each box saves on its own, so click Update for each one you change.

Name is the name you see in the dashboard. URL is the address of your store or app. Webhook URL is the address where BizPrint sends job status updates (see What the webhook URL is for).

The Update buttons need the box to be valid. If the dashboard shows a message under a box, fix that value and click Update again. Each change is recorded in your Activity feed. See Use the Activity feed and pin printers in the BizPrint dashboard.

What Platform and API Version mean

Platform shows WordPress, Shopify or Custom, the kind of store or app you connected. API Version shows REST API or Legacy API. The Legacy API is no longer recommended. If you still use it, see Move the BizPrint plugin for WooCommerce from the Legacy API to the REST API. The Webhook URL box and the Webhook Info section appear only for applications that use the REST API.

What the webhook URL is for

BizPrint can send your store or app a message when a print job changes status, for example when it finishes printing. It sends these messages to the Webhook URL. If you use the BizPrint plugin for WooCommerce, the plugin shows its own webhook address in its Application tab, under WooCommerce > Print Manager. Developers can read how webhooks work in Receive print job updates from BizPrint with webhooks.

When you save a new Webhook URL, BizPrint sends it a test message right away. To check it again at any time, see Test the webhook connection for a BizPrint application.

Keys

Click the copy button next to Public Key or Secret Key to copy it. Treat the Secret Key like a password: do not email it, post it in a chat, or put it in a web page. See Keep your BizPrint Public Key and Secret Key safe.

Delete an application

Delete an application only if you no longer use the store or app it connects. Print jobs from that store or app stop working through BizPrint.

Open the application.
Click the delete (bin) button at the top right of the Application page.
Read the message “Are you sure you want to permanently delete this Application?” in your browser’s confirmation box.
Click OK to delete the application.

Deleting appears in your Activity feed. On the Print Analytics page, a deleted application is marked “This application was deleted”. See View print analytics in the BizPrint dashboard.
