# Choose a BizPrint template for WooCommerce printouts

Section: Print

> Pick which of the 10 built-in BizPrint templates a WooCommerce printer location prints, from customer receipts and kitchen tickets to invoices and shipping labels.

This page helps you choose what a WooCommerce printout looks like, by picking one of the built-in [templates](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#template) for a [printer location](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#printer-location). It is for store owners and staff who use the [BizPrint plugin for WooCommerce](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#bizprint-plugin-for-woocommerce), with either a desktop or an Android [station](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#station).

A template is the layout of the printout: what it is called, what order details it shows, and how they are arranged. Each printer location prints one template. If you want two different printouts for the same order, for example a customer receipt at the counter and a ticket in the kitchen, create two printer locations, each with its own template.

## The 10 built-in templates

The [output format](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#output-format) column shows which formats each template offers. The [BizPrint desktop app](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#bizprint-desktop-app) and the [BizPrint Android app](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#bizprint-android-app) both print **HTML** and **Plain Text**, so every template works on both kinds of station.

| Template                   | What it prints                                                                                                                                | Output formats             |
| -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| **Customer Receipt**       | A receipt for the customer: order number, date and time, the customer’s name, email and phone, the products with prices, and the order total. | **HTML** or **Plain Text** |
| **Customer Order Receipt** | A receipt for the customer with the billing and shipping addresses, the products with prices, and the order total.                            | **HTML** or **Plain Text** |
| **Order Receipt**          | A ticket for staff with the products and quantities, and no prices. Use it for kitchen tickets and for picking and packing orders.            | **HTML** or **Plain Text** |
| **Address Labels**         | One address on a label: the shipping, billing, store (“from”) or return address.                                                              | **HTML** or **Plain Text** |
| **Shipping Label**         | A shipping label with your store’s address, the order number and date, and the customer’s delivery address and contact details.               | **HTML** or **Plain Text** |
| **Delivery Note**          | A delivery note with the “from”, “bill to” and “ship to” details, and a table of products with quantities and prices.                         | **HTML** only              |
| **Dispatch Label**         | A dispatch document with the order and dispatch dates, billing and shipping details, the products with prices, and the order total.           | **HTML** only              |
| **Invoice**                | An invoice with your store’s details, the billing details, the products with prices, tax, and the order total.                                | **HTML** only              |
| **Packing Slip**           | A packing slip with the “bill to” and “ship to” details, and a table of products with quantities and weights, but no prices.                  | **HTML** only              |
| **Pick List**              | A list for collecting the products of an order from your shelves: product images, SKUs, quantities and weights.                               | **HTML** only              |

There is no separate kitchen template. Use **Order Receipt** for kitchen tickets, because it shows what to make without prices. See [Print kitchen tickets for WooCommerce orders with BizPrint](https://docs.getbizprint.com/print/kitchen-tickets/).

The table describes each template with its usual details. Some templates have extra options when you select them, such as whether to include prices or customer details, or which address an address label shows. To learn about these, see [Choose what information prints on a BizPrint template in WooCommerce](https://docs.getbizprint.com/print/template-content/) and [Print shipping and address labels from WooCommerce with BizPrint](https://docs.getbizprint.com/print/labels/).

## Check before you send a test print

When you choose a template, you can finish with a test print, which prints your newest real order again. Do these checks first, so you do not print an order twice:

1. Look at the paper at the [printer](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#printer) for your newest order’s printout. If it already printed, a test prints it again.
2. Check that the printer has paper, shows no error, and is not in the middle of a real order.
3. Check the [print job status](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#print-job-status) of the latest [print jobs](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#print-job) in the [BizPrint dashboard](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#bizprint-dashboard). See [View print jobs and their status in the BizPrint dashboard](https://docs.getbizprint.com/manage/print-jobs/).
4. Wait for the station to finish anything it is still printing, whatever status the job shows.
5. Go to **WooCommerce** > **Print Manager** in WordPress.
6. Click the **Support** tab.
7. Check **Queue Status** in [**Print Job Queue**](https://docs.getbizprint.com/start-here/glossary/#print-job-queue).
8. Wait for any pending or processing jobs to finish. See [View and retry failed print jobs in WooCommerce with the BizPrint Print Job Queue](https://docs.getbizprint.com/manage/print-job-queue/).

Do not send a test while a job for that order is **pending**, **connecting-to-printer** or **processing**. Never place or re-create an order to get a printout.

## Choose a template for a printer location

1. Go to **WooCommerce** > **Print Manager** in WordPress.
2. Open the **Printers** tab. It lists your printer locations.
3. Click the name of the printer location in the **Description** column. To start a new one instead, see [Create a printer location in the BizPrint plugin for WooCommerce](https://docs.getbizprint.com/set-up/create-printer-location/).
4. Choose a template in the **Template** list.
5. Choose a format in the **Output Format** list: **HTML**, or **Plain Text** if the template offers it.
6. Click **Save Changes**.
7. Click **View Sample** to see how the template looks with your newest order, without printing.
8. Do the checks in [Check before you send a test print](https://docs.getbizprint.com/print/choose-a-template/#check-before-you-send-a-test-print) if you want to check the template on paper. The checks take you to the **Support** tab.
9. Click the **Printers** tab.
10. Click the name of the same printer location in the **Description** column.
11. Click **Test print** to print it.

The **View Sample** and **Test print** buttons appear once the location is saved and your store has at least one order.

## Tips for choosing

- **Printing from an Android device?** Every template works. Choose **HTML** for your logo and the full layout, or **Plain Text** for fast printing with a receipt printer’s own fonts. See [Set up a WooCommerce printer location for an Android station with BizPrint](https://docs.getbizprint.com/set-up/android-printer-location/).
- **Changed the template on an existing location?** Check **Output Format** again before you save. A location that used **Plain Text** must be switched to **HTML** if the new template only offers **HTML**.
- **Want the template in another language, with your logo, or on a different paper size?** Those are separate settings on the same printer location. See [Add your logo and store details to BizPrint printouts in WooCommerce](https://docs.getbizprint.com/print/logo-and-branding/), [Change the language of BizPrint printed templates in WooCommerce](https://docs.getbizprint.com/print/template-language/) and [Change page size, margins, orientation and fonts for BizPrint printouts](https://docs.getbizprint.com/print/layout-settings/).
- **Need a layout that none of these templates offer?** A developer can build a custom template. See [Build a custom WooCommerce template for BizPrint](https://docs.getbizprint.com/developers/custom-templates/).

A template change applies to the next printouts from that location. It also applies when you reprint an older job, because a reprint loads the order again with the location’s current settings.
