7. Print orders to a wireless receipt printer
BiznessApps’ app maker is integrated with a POS receipt printer by PrinterCo, a UK-based software technology company. The receipt printer (order printer) is an amazing wireless thermal Google Cloud Print alternative with a touchscreen. It is compatible with common ecommerce platforms, making it ideal for businesses that take online orders.
The printer enables you to take orders on a smartphone and print to a hand-held 58mm receipt printer within seconds of receiving the order. This is convenient if you run a business within limited space where a computer and an A4 printer would take too much space. You can customise the appearance of your receipts using a mixture of bold, plain and different font sizes.
The printer also enables you to keep track of orders in a number of ways.
- A live connection status at the top of the app lets you know at any moment if your printer is offline or online so you can keep track of orders.
- The printer colour-codes the order list to easily show orders that have just arrived, have been accepted or have been rejected.
- During busy moments, you can choose to add more time for certain orders and update your customers accordingly.
- When necessary, you can reject an order, select a reason from a given menu, and notify the customer.
- The printer displays every order with a countdown timer which counts down to the time that the customer expects the order.
- It marks each order that is ready as “dispatched.”
- You can keep customers updated on the progress of the order by sending tailored SMS messages which you choose from a menu.
At the end of the day or shift, you can print a summary of your day’s or shift’s total collection and delivery of orders.
App developers, and e-commerce web developers or designers who need integration for ecommerce platforms will find PrinterCo POS printers to be great solutions with regular updates from PrinterCo. The integration tutorial is available on the PrinterCo Site.
