The module includes the most common print scenarios such as:

Print Delivery Slip on Picking Status becomes Ready
Print Delivery Slip for all outgoing transfers (after validation)
Print Delivery Slip after Delivery Order Confirmation for backorder (created after Transfer validation)
Print Delivery Slip only for UPS Delivery Carrier (after validation)
Print Delivery Slip only for Customers from Netherlands (after validation)
Print All Packages after Delivery Order is Validated

There is additional module ("Odoo Direct Print PRO PoS") which allows to print documents (invoices, receipts) from POS instances. Please, make sure to read description because of limitations

External Print Service

In order to allow direct printing independent on where your Odoo is located (hosting, odoo.sh, your local server) and where your printers are located, it is mandatory to have external print service. So our module can communicate with it and send print commands to it. See the video explanation of how it works

After installation of the module, you will need to choose one of the paid subscriptions to get an API Key from the External Print Service. On this page, you can check a quick video that explains the installation process: https://print.ventor.tech/docs

Our quality standards

Provided that we had to fix many code quality issues related to a variety of connectors presented on the Odoo market (Ebay, Amazon, USPS, FedEx, Shopify, WooCommerce, UPS, Quickbooks, custom connectors, etc.) and it wasted the nerves of our customers, testers, and developers, we developed our own quality standards.

Typical issues that clients faсed using other connectors / bridges:

Impossibility to scale functionality together with business growth
Most solutions are OK when you have an Odoo standard with no or very few customizations. But functionality breaks in a real production environment for different reasons, even if you make a simple change (e.g., some orders are not synchronized, prices for products are not synchronized, etc.);
Stability
When even simple change had been made in Odoo (e.g., adding a barcode to a product), total instability occurrences increased (e.g., for some reason, orders stopped coming or product prices stopped syncing).
Need to pay the vendor for extending / fixes. And even this did not always help
Our customers tried to make their connectors work at a level of at least acceptably "stable" and bought hundreds of service hours from vendors. It’s reasonable to pay the code authors, as they should know their own apps, right? Unfortunately, the changes were still not working and this lowered their margin. They spent money with the vendors and then had to spend it again to fix it all with us, because situations had already become critical.
Alerts about errors
When connectors had stopped syncing orders or prices, our clients learned about this only after a few days or months of sync failure, when they received customer calls about not delivered orders, or when they started analyzing margin and understood that they were selling with a resulting negative margin!

We have been fixing these problems and similar ones in different connectors and other modules. Such occurrences would not present a good situation for you, because you already purchased the module and everything is supposed to be working. And it’s not good for us, because instead of delivering features that bring benefit quickly, we have to fix something that you think is working.

Cheap solutions sound attractive, but we have already integrated Shopify, PrestaShop, Magento 1, Magento 2, WooCommerce, QuickBooks, and we know – these connectors cannot be cheap! It is not only about connectors, but about analyzing catalogs, making decisions about variants and product templates, figuring out what attributes should be synced from Odoo, and deciding on what should be edited directly on the e-commerce side only... and many other less-than-obvious factors.

Odoo is like a LEGO construction; it has many bricks. If looking at bricks separately, they seem to work fine. But everybody likes LEGOs because of the final "solution". And combining them depends on the quality of each brick. This is why we at VentorTech deliver only high-quality products that can be easily integrated with other products, and our solutions don’t block you while scaling and growing. It seems to be expensive initially but saves you a lot of investments and headaches in the future.

FAQ

We have created special page with answers to all typical questions we were getting from our customers. It is available here: https://print.ventor.tech/faq.

(3) What is the difference from the IoT Box? and many others.

Installation and Configuration

The installation module requires the following knowledge:

How to install a module on your Odoo Instance (self-hosted or odoo.sh)
How to install Direct Print Client software (Linux based systems installation will require CUPS knowledge)

Module installation and configuration are not included in the module's price. Refer to the "Documentation" tab in the current module for installation details.
