Frequently Asked Questions about our WooCommerce Thermal POS Integration

What email services are supported for the print server polling?

Gmail, GMX, custom domain IMAP accounts, and most major email providers.

Can I use it for both food and non-food shops?

Yes! The plugin now supports a „General Receipt“ mode for non-restaurant businesses.

Does it require WooCommerce Subscriptions or a separate SaaS service?

No, it’s a one-time setup. No monthly fees unless you choose external hosting services.

How does the Woo POS Printer Plugin connect with my WooCommerce store?

The plugin integrates directly with WooCommerce via WordPress, automatically detecting new orders and sending the order data in real-time to the Raspberry Pi print server for processing and printing.

Can I print orders automatically without using a PC?

Yes! Once installed, the system runs completely independently using a Raspberry Pi. Your online orders are printed automatically to the POS thermal printer without needing an open laptop or computer.

What type of printers are compatible with the Woo POS Printer system?

We support most USB thermal receipt printers that use ESC/POS commands. Popular brands like Epson TM-T20, Star Micronics, and Bisofice models are fully compatible.

Is this solution only for restaurants, or can retail shops use it too?

While the plugin is perfect for restaurants and food delivery services, it also supports general online shops through the General Receipt feature. This makes it ideal for printing order summaries in retail, clothing, electronics, and cosmetics stores.

Yes! The plugin allows you to upload your own logo and set custom footer text for every receipt. You can easily brand your kitchen, driver, counter, and general receipts.

Does the system require an internet connection to work?

An internet connection is needed only to monitor the email inbox for new order data. Once the order is received, the Raspberry Pi print server and USB printer work locally, ensuring high reliability even if Wi-Fi is unstable.

How difficult is it to set up the Raspberry Pi print server?

We provide a full step-by-step installation guide designed for beginners. Setting up the Raspberry Pi involves installing a few Python libraries and configuring email polling — no advanced programming skills are required.

Will it work with multiple receipt types like kitchen and delivery copies?

Yes! The system is built to handle multiple receipt types. You can automatically generate:

  • Kitchen receipt without logo (bolded food items)

  • Driver receipt with bold delivery address

  • Counter receipt for customer collection

  • General receipt for retail orders

Can I use this setup for takeaway, dine-in, and delivery orders?

Absolutely! The plugin can be configured to print different receipts based on order type, helping you streamline operations for takeaway customers, in-house diners, and home deliveries.

What happens if the printer runs out of paper or gets disconnected?

The Raspberry Pi print server is robust. If the printer is disconnected or out of paper, it will retry sending the print job once the printer is back online, ensuring no orders are lost.
