Prestashop Google Cloud Print

Prestashop Google Cloud Print module connects your eCommerce store with your printer using Google Cloud Print. It helps you to automatically print your invoice & delivery note as soon as a new order generates on your store. Your files will be printed via a printer far from your location by simply connecting through the cloud.

No matter where you are, your bills will automatically come out of your printer with every order. All you need to have is Google client ID and the Google client secret key to configure the module.

The Google cloud print service has been discontinued since 31st December 2020. Please check the below-mentioned link:
