Introduction
LogicialIT has created a great
component for Prestashop:
It is called 'New Order Alert with Invoice Attached'. The PDF invoice is sent via email to the receiving address.
Automatic Email Manager then monitors the email box and
identifies the email with the assigned subject and automatically prints the invoices
. It has to be connected with a specified
printer, however.
It is a very useful module for shipping companies and their pdf invoices and also for printing new order invoices automatically from Prestashop. This too helps save a lot of time and effort.
