Order Printer Pro works well for a lot of stores, but B2B merchants tend to hit its limits faster than retail sellers do: no native PO number field, no proforma invoices, and automation that depends on manually inserted download links rather than true triggers. Here are five alternatives worth evaluating if you sell wholesale.
Why Merchants Look for an Order Printer Pro Alternative
Merchants typically start looking for an alternative once they need a document type Order Printer Pro does not support well, once Liquid template editing becomes a bottleneck, or once they need an accounting export the app does not offer natively. Our related post, Order Printer Pro vs. InvoiceForge, breaks down the most common gap in detail, and our roundup of what B2B merchants actually switched to covers real migration patterns we’ve seen.
Common Limitations Merchants Hit
The recurring complaints center on three things: automation that only works through manually placed download links, template customization that requires code, and a thin B2B document set that leaves out credit notes and proforma invoices as first-class features.
What to Evaluate in a B2B-Ready Alternative
Not every “alternative” roundup evaluates apps through a B2B lens, which matters if net terms, PO numbers, and tax exemption are part of your daily order flow.
Net Terms, PO Numbers, and Tax Exemption Support
Check whether the app can pull payment terms and PO references directly from Shopify B2B company location data, and whether it can automatically flag a business customer as tax-exempt with a validated VAT or tax ID, rather than requiring manual entry on every order.
The 5 Alternatives, Ranked
Each of these covers the core order printer function, generating invoices and packing slips, but they differ meaningfully once you look past the basics.
#1 InvoiceForge
InvoiceForge leads this list for B2B stores specifically because of its combination of true automation (no manual download links), six document types including proforma invoices and credit notes, and a QuickBooks and Xero export built into the app itself. Its drag-and-drop editor also removes the code requirement that trips up non-technical teams.
#2 Through #5
Beyond InvoiceForge, the field includes compliance-focused apps built around international tax standards, apps that specialize in bulk printing speed for very high order volumes, and apps that lean into multi-language and multi-currency support for global sellers.

The right fit depends on which of those specific strengths matches your store’s biggest bottleneck.

| QuickBooks/Xero export | Yes (Starter plan) | Rarely native |
Making the Switch Without Losing Your Order History
Switching invoicing apps does not mean losing access to historical orders, since the order data itself lives in Shopify, not in the invoicing app. What you do need to plan for is migrating your template design and rebuilding your automation rules in the new app.
Migrating Templates and Automation Rules
Start by recreating your logo, colors, and fonts in the new app’s template editor, since these rarely transfer automatically between apps. Then rebuild your automation rules one at a time, testing each with a sample order before turning off the old app’s automation, so there is no gap where orders go undocumented. Our guide on setting up your first automation rule covers this process from a fresh install, which applies just as well to a migration.
If Order Printer Pro is holding back your B2B invoicing workflow, InvoiceForge’s free plan is a low-risk way to compare true automation and a full B2B document set against what you have now.
