DispatchIT Shop Order Exporter
Provides an endpoint for fetching files to use with a New Zealand Couriers printer., (*1)
Write a desktop script to call yoursite.com/dispatchitexporter
, and then download everything from
yoursite/assets/_dispatchitexports
to the local folder for importing into dispatchit. This could be done via ssh connection. If you use this approach, it is recommended that you include .htaccess
config to close the folder off from the web., (*2)
Alternatively, you can prevent writing output to the assets folder by adding the query param yoursite.com/dispatchitexporter?nofile=true
., (*3)
Adding yoursite.com/dispatchitexporter?dryrun=true
will both prevent files being written, and orders from being updated to mark them as having been exported for printing., (*4)
