MenuForma Print Agent bridges your Shopify store to your thermal receipt printer. Print silently on every new order — no browser dialog, no Shopify POS subscription required.
Free · v1.0.0 · No Shopify POS subscription required
Shopify's built-in receipt printing requires Shopify POS (paid plan) or a Star Micronics CloudPRNT setup. If you just want to print receipts from your Shopify store to a USB thermal printer, here's what you're up against:
Shopify POS Pro starts at $89/month. If you only need receipt printing, that's expensive.
Star CloudPRNT requires a specific printer model, cloud setup, and ongoing maintenance.
Shopify's web admin can't communicate with USB printers directly. You need a local bridge.
Download and install MenuForma Print Agent on the computer connected to your thermal printer.
Open Print Agent, scan for USB printers, and select yours. Or enter the IP address for a network printer.
Use Shopify's order webhook or a simple browser script to send print jobs to Print Agent's local WebSocket API.
Works with any ESC/POS compatible thermal printer — no special Shopify-certified hardware required.
Free download. No Shopify POS required. Works in minutes.
