Print Trail for WooCommerce connects your store to Print Trail, so orders containing Print Trail books and other printed products are shipped to your customers automatically.
An active Print Trail account is required. The plugin does nothing until you connect it to a Print Trail channel. Visit printtrail.com to find out more and open an account.
- Draft on checkout — when a customer checks out, the Print Trail lines of the order are submitted as a draft order.
- Confirm on payment — once the order is paid (or enters processing/completed), the draft is confirmed and production begins.
- Webhooks and polling — order, fulfilment and tracking updates from Print Trail arrive by signed webhook, backed by a reconciliation poll so nothing is missed.
- Stock sync — stock levels for Print Trail products are synchronised into WooCommerce on a recurring schedule.
- Tracking to your customer — carrier, tracking number and tracking link are added to the order as a customer-visible note as soon as they are available, per fulfilment.
- Pre-orders — put a product on pre-order in Print Trail and WooCommerce sells it as a pre-order. The button says “Pre-order”, and the product page, basket, checkout, order emails and My Account show the expected release date. Print Trail holds the pre-order items and ships them when you set the product to active in Print Trail.
- Print Trail and other products together — orders can combine Print Trail and non-Print Trail products; only the Print Trail lines are sent for fulfilment.
- Merchant audit trail — every remote state change lands as a WooCommerce order note, and an order screen panel shows the Print Trail order number, status and per-fulfilment tracking.
Print-on-demand products will be supported in a future version; this version handles stock-managed Print Trail products.
The plugin is compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) — all order data is accessed through the WooCommerce CRUD API.
