Setting Up my zen cart to print out every new order that has been placed

Hello,

Is there a way where i can set up my zen cart to print out every new order that has been placed... or send some type of notification like a text message or a fax?

Thank you!!!:smile:

I'm not sure how you think you'll get the webserver to talk to your local printer.

But, you have a few options:

• write a script in your email program to auto-print the order emails you receive
• send an SMS using the addon in the downloads area
• send a fax by using an email-to-fax service to have your order-confirmation emails sent there instead (you'll have to find and subscribe to a paid service to do that)

Dr bryte,

Thanks a lot for the useful information im going to go ahead and look into the e-mail to fax service .

I also googled some e-mail to fax scripts and came across this one ...... http://www.hylafax.org/content/Email_to_Fax_Gateway Do you think this will work?

I integrated Google check out into my Zen Cart will the SMS Notification still work even if the order goes straight to Google Check Out?

Thank You!

If you have total control over your own server in order to install a fax gateway, that software might work.

As for GC working with SMS notification, it would not surprise me if you have to make some, perhaps several, modifications to get that to work.

Okay i am going to see if the software will work on the server.... as far the modifications go.. will that be for Google Check Out or Zen Cart Modifications?

Thanks!!

There are mods for (shudder) MS Outlook that will auto-print emails, by account. You could have the copy of order confirmation emails sent to that account.
