# Print only some products at a WooCommerce printer location with BizPrint Product Mapping

Section: Manage

> Use the Product Mapping add-on to choose which products and product categories a BizPrint printer location prints in WooCommerce.

This page shows you how to make a [printer location](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#printer-location) print only orders that contain certain products or product categories, for example sending drinks to the bar [printer](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#printer) and food to the kitchen printer. It is for WooCommerce store owners who use the [BizPrint plugin for WooCommerce](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#bizprint-plugin-for-woocommerce) with the Product Mapping for Print Manager add-on, and it works with both desktop and Android [stations](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#station).

## Before you start

- Install and activate the Product Mapping for Print Manager add-on. Add-ons are included with some plans (see [BizPrint pricing](https://getbizprint.com/pricing/)). See [Install a BizPrint add-on in WordPress](https://docs.getbizprint.com/manage/install-an-add-on/).
- Product Mapping needs PHP 7.4 or later on your WordPress site. Your web host can tell you which version you have.
- Create the printer location you want to limit. See [Create a printer location in the BizPrint plugin for WooCommerce](https://docs.getbizprint.com/set-up/create-printer-location/).
- For an Android station, see [Set up a WooCommerce printer location for an Android station with BizPrint](https://docs.getbizprint.com/set-up/android-printer-location/). Both [**Output Format**](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#output-format) choices work there.

## How Product Mapping decides what prints

Each printer location has a **Product Mapping** section with two choices:

- **All**: the location prints every order. This is the default.
- **Custom**: the location prints an order only if at least one product in the order matches the products or categories you choose. Orders with no matching product are not sent to this location at all.

A product matches when:

- you chose the product itself, or
- the product is a variation (such as a size or color) of a product you chose, or
- the product is in a category you chose, or in a subcategory of it. For example, choosing a “Drinks” category also covers products in a “Drinks > Coffee” subcategory.

Variations need a little more care with categories. If a variable product is only in a subcategory, choosing the category above it may not cover that product’s variations. To be sure a variation matches, choose the parent product itself, or the exact category the parent product is in.

By default, a matching order prints in full, with every product on it. To leave the other products off the printout, tick **Print only selected products and categories**. Then only the matching products appear on this location’s printout.

## Set up Product Mapping

1. Go to **WooCommerce** > **Print Manager** in WordPress.
2. Open the **Printers** tab.
3. Click the name of the printer location you want to limit in the **Description** column.
4. Find the **Product Mapping** section.
5. Choose **Custom** in the first drop-down list. More settings appear.
6. Tick **Print only selected products and categories** if you want this location’s printout to show only the matching products. Leave it unticked to print the whole order.
7. Click in the **Search** box under **Products**.
8. Type part of a product name.
9. Click the product you want when it appears in the results. It is added as a button above the **Search** box.
10. Repeat steps 7 to 9 for each product you want this location to print.
11. Click in the **Search** box under **Categories**.
12. Type part of a category name.
13. Click the category you want.
14. Repeat steps 11 to 13 for each category you want this location to print.
15. Click **Save Changes** at the bottom of the page.

To remove a product or category you added:

1. Click its button (the one with the **×**).
2. Click **Save Changes**.

Leave the second drop-down list on **Default print** unless you want a separate ticket for each product. See [Print each product on its own ticket in WooCommerce with BizPrint Product Mapping](https://docs.getbizprint.com/manage/print-per-product/).

## Good to know

- **It applies to every print to this location.** Product Mapping applies to [automatic printing](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#automatic-printing) and to orders you print by hand from the order screen. If you print an order by hand to a Custom location and the order has no matching product, nothing prints at that location.
- **An order can print at several locations.** Each location checks the order on its own. An order with a coffee and a sandwich can print at both the bar and the kitchen, each showing its own products when **Print only selected products and categories** is ticked.
- **Locations set to All print everything.** If you also have a location on **All** that uses the same printer, that printer gets the whole order as well.
- **Other mapping add-ons add more rules.** If the same location also uses Shipping Mapping or Metadata Mapping, an order has to pass every rule to print there.
- **Changes apply to new prints.** Saving new settings does not print anything again.
