Preview a BizPrint printout in WooCommerce with View Sample

This page shows you how to preview a printout before you print it. It is for store owners who are choosing or adjusting a template for a printer location in the BizPrint plugin for WooCommerce. It works the same for desktop and Android stations, and it does not send anything to a printer.

What View Sample shows

Section titled “What View Sample shows”

View Sample opens your newest WooCommerce order, the one with the latest date, laid out with the location’s template and saved settings. It opens in a new browser tab. Because it uses a real order, it shows a real customer’s details, so be careful if someone else can see your screen.

It shows the settings you last saved. If you changed a setting, click Save Changes first, then open the preview again.

The preview is a quick look at the content and layout. The paper printout can differ a little, because the printer, its driver, and the paper size also affect it. If you need to check the real result, send a test print with Test print. See Send a test print from a BizPrint printer location in WooCommerce.

Before you start
