    52 The main benefit of using WooPrinter WiFi or WooPrinter Lan is that they **do not need a connection to a computer in order to print woocommerce order receipts** and they are **printing receipts almost instantly** after an order is placed as their polling interval (checking for new orders) is 10 - 20 seconds. The unit's directly connect to the internet via the client router and regularly check / retrieve for new orders/receipts. You can also use your own printer. In that case you will need a computer, running thunderbird with autoprint tools.

    5457The plugin is very useful for online shops as the order notification receipts are automatically printed and the person responsible for order processing just sees the receipts and processes the order (Example - the person responsible for order processing goes to work in the morning and sees what is ordered and processes the orders without the need of even opening wordpress admin section. The receipts can also be used for marketing, coupon codes printing and sent with the ordered products etc.)
