Description

DingPack for WooCommerce connects your store to the DingPack automatic printing service. When a customer places an order and payment is confirmed, DingPack instantly queues a print job and your designated printer fires off the packing slip — hands-free.

How it works

  1. A customer places an order on your WooCommerce store.
  2. This plugin securely sends the order details to DingPack over HTTPS.
  3. The lightweight DingPack desktop agent (Windows/Mac) running on your fulfillment computer picks up the job within seconds and prints the packing slip automatically.

Features

  • Automatic printing triggered on your chosen order status (Processing, Completed, or On Hold).
  • One-click Test Connection button to verify your API key is working.
  • Manual “Send to DingPack” order action on the Edit Order screen for re-printing or one-off jobs.
  • Order notes logged every time an order is sent, duplicated, or fails — full audit trail inside WooCommerce.
  • Compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).
  • Lightweight — no external libraries bundled, uses only WordPress core HTTP functions.

Requirements

  • A free or paid DingPack account.
  • The DingPack desktop agent installed and running on the computer connected to your printer.
  • WooCommerce 6.0 or later.
  • WordPress 5.8 or later, PHP 7.4 or later.

Privacy & External Services

This plugin transmits order data to the DingPack service (dingpack.com) in order to queue print jobs. Only data necessary for printing (order number, items, shipping address, customer name) is sent. No payment card data is ever included.

  1. Upload the dingpack-for-woocommerce folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory, or install directly via the WordPress Plugins screen.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
  3. Go to Settings DingPack and paste your API key (find it in your DingPack dashboard under Settings API Key).
  4. Choose which order status should trigger printing (default: Processing).
  5. Click Test Connection to confirm everything is working.
  6. Make sure the DingPack desktop agent is running on your fulfillment computer. That’s it!
Where do I get an API key?

Sign in to your DingPack dashboard and go to Settings API Key.

Which order status should I choose?

Processing is recommended for most stores — it fires as soon as payment is confirmed. Choose Completed if you only want to print after manually marking an order done, or On Hold if you use that status for orders awaiting payment review.

Can I reprint an order?

Yes. Open the order in WooCommerce admin, find the Order Actions dropdown (top right), select Send to DingPack (print now), and click the arrow button.

Does this work with HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage)?

Yes — the plugin explicitly declares HPOS compatibility.

What data is sent to DingPack?

Order number, order date, line items (name, SKU, quantity, price), shipping address, customer name, phone, email, order notes, and shipping method. No payment card data is included.

Is the connection secure?

Yes. All data is transmitted over HTTPS with SSL certificate verification enabled.

What happens if DingPack is unreachable?

A note is added to the WooCommerce order with the error message. You can retry at any time using the manual order action.

Will test prints count against my monthly limit?

No. Prints sent with the is_test_print flag (e.g. from the DingPack dashboard) do not count against your monthly quota.

Does this plugin store any data?

The plugin stores your API key, trigger status, and enable/disable preference in standard WordPress options. No order data is stored by the plugin itself — it is sent directly to DingPack.
