Shopify Can Already Print Invoices for Free — Here’s When You Actually Need an App

1Match·July 10, 2026
The best print invoice Shopify app depends on how far you need to go. Shopify already includes a free Order Printer for basic invoices and packing slips. For branded PDF invoices and automatic emailing, Vify is the best no-code pick. For tax/legal compliance, multi-currency and B2B, Sufio is the premium choice. Below: each one with pros, cons and a verdict.

Most merchants don’t realise Shopify can already print invoices out of the box. So before you install anything, the real question isn’t “which invoice app”, it’s “do I even need one?” Here are the three options that matter, from free to premium.

1. Shopify Order Printer (free, official)

Avantages (Pros)

  • Free, made by Shopify, installs in seconds.
  • Prints invoices and packing slips straight from your order data.
  • Bulk-print multiple orders at once — fine for a fulfilment routine.

Inconvénients (Cons)

  • Customizing the template means editing Liquid/HTML by hand — no visual editor.
  • No automatic PDF emailing to customers, no tax-compliant invoicing.
  • Bare branding; it looks functional, not polished.

Bilan (Verdict) — Genuinely enough if you just need to print the occasional invoice or packing slip. Start here, and only upgrade when you hit one of its limits.

2. Vify Order Printer PDF Invoice

Avantages (Pros)

  • No-code, visual customization — brand your invoices without touching code.
  • Automatic PDF invoice emailing after purchase, plus packing slips and quotes.
  • Auto-detects the customer’s language, bulk processing, generous free plan.

Inconvénients (Cons)

  • It’s an order printer, not a strict accounting/invoicing system — invoices track live order data.
  • The most useful automation sits on paid plans (from around $10.99/mo).

Bilan (Verdict) — The best pick for most stores that have outgrown the free tool: branded PDF invoices, sent automatically, with zero code. The natural upgrade from Shopify Order Printer.

3. Sufio

Avantages (Pros)

  • Built for legal and tax compliance — proper invoices, VAT/GST, multi-currency.
  • Automated invoicing in 40 languages; commercial invoices for exports.
  • Officially recommended by Shopify for B2B — keeps invoices as separate records.

Inconvénients (Cons)

  • The priciest option here — overkill if you just need to print a document.
  • More setup; its strengths only pay off if compliance actually matters to you.

Bilan (Verdict) — The right choice when invoicing is a legal requirement, not a convenience: cross-border sales, VAT, B2B. For a compliance-heavy store, nothing here beats it.

Honourable mention: Order Printer Pro is another strong middle-ground app for printing and emailing invoices, packing slips and returns forms if Vify isn’t your fit.

How to choose in one line

Occasional printing → Shopify Order Printer (free). Branded PDF invoices emailed automatically → Vify. Tax/legal compliance, multi-currency, B2B → Sufio.

Invoicing is back-office — growth happens on the product page. Once your paperwork is handled, your real lever is conversion. If you sell fashion on Shopify, 1Match adds virtual try-on so shoppers see items on themselves before buying — installed in minutes, lifting conversion and cutting returns 25–40%.

Frequently asked questions

Does Shopify print invoices without an app?

Yes — the free official Order Printer prints invoices and packing slips from templates. It’s enough for basics but has no visual editor, no auto-emailing and no tax-compliant invoicing.

What’s the best print invoice app?

Shopify Order Printer for occasional printing, Vify for branded PDF invoices with auto-emailing, Sufio for tax compliance and B2B.

Order printer vs invoicing app?

An order printer generates documents from live order data; a dedicated invoicing app like Sufio keeps invoices as separate legal records for accounting and tax.

Can invoices be emailed automatically?

Not with the free Order Printer alone. Vify and Sufio add automatic PDF invoice emailing after purchase.
