Choose your BizPrint setup path

This page helps you find the setup steps that match how you will use BizPrint, and lists them in the order to follow. It is for merchants, staff, agencies and developers setting up BizPrint for the first time, with WooCommerce, Shopify, the BizPrint Print API or the BizPrint MCP server.

If you are not sure how the pieces fit together yet, read How BizPrint works: accounts, stations, applications and printers first.

Answer two questions

1. Where do your orders come from?

• A WooCommerce store on WordPress: use the BizPrint plugin for WooCommerce.
• A Shopify store: use the Auto Order Printer app.
• Your own app, website or platform: use the BizPrint Print API.
• An AI assistant on your computer, such as Claude Desktop: use the BizPrint MCP server.

2. What will do the printing?

• A Windows, Mac or Linux computer connected to your printers: use the BizPrint desktop app. It works with any printer the computer can use, including office printers, label printers and receipt printers.
• An Android phone, tablet or Sunmi point of sale device: use the BizPrint Android app. It works with receipt printers, label printers and office printers connected by Wi-Fi or network, Bluetooth or USB, and with the built-in printer of a Sunmi device.
