Shopify's own free printing app. It is built for printing order documents in the admin - not for sending them to customers.
The short version
This is the clearest comparison of the four. Order Printer is a printing tool and a good one. It has no way to email a document to a customer, no scheduling, and a 50-order bulk cap. Its 3.6-star rating is its own users’ verdict, not ours.
Overview
What each one does
Both apps turn Shopify orders into PDF documents. They part company on what happens next.
Send Invoice Pro

Reads every order, builds a branded PDF, and sends it on a rule you set once - by email, into
a Slack channel, or filed to your own Google Drive.
Nine document types, from invoices to return forms
Hourly to monthly schedules, or on order placed, fulfilled or paid
Conditions, quiet hours and per-schedule timezones
Flat monthly pricing, never per document
From $0 · $9 · $19 · $39 per month

Honestly
Where each one is stronger
We have listed their advantages at the same length as ours. If one of theirs matters more to
your store, use them - you will find that out faster from us than from a trial.
Send Invoice Pro
What we do better
It does not send. Order Printer prints. If you are emailing PDFs by hand afterwards, that is the whole gap.
No automation at all. Every document is a manual print. Ours go on a schedule or on an order event.
The 50-order bulk cap. Ours is unlimited on Pro, with a date-range ZIP export.
Editing templates needs Liquid. Ours is a visual editor, twenty palettes and a block builder - no code.
Shopify Order Printer
What they do better
Free, first-party, and already installed on your store.
Full Liquid control if you want to code a template exactly.
It is the right tool if all you need is a pick list for the warehouse.

Decide
Which one to choose
The useful question is not which app is better, it is which job you are trying to finish.
Choose Shopify Order Printer if
You only need to print pick lists and invoices in the admin, and you want Liquid control.
Choose Send Invoice Pro if
You want the document to reach the customer without you doing it.
Install free, send your first invoice in minutes, and pay only when you outgrow it. Orders are
encrypted and handled to Shopify’s Protected Customer Data standard.
