Cards are billed at your Printags plan's rates and debited from the account's prepaid balance, for every order sent. ### What happens if my Printags balance is too low? The plugin checks the total before sending the order. If the balance is not enough, the WooCommerce order is put on hold, a note gives the total and the balance, and you get an e-mail. Top up the account, then use the order action "Send to Printags". ### Is an order cancelled or refunded in WooCommerce cancelled at Printags? Not automatically once it was sent: a note and an e-mail tell you, and you cancel it from your Printags dashboard if it must not be made. Quantities refunded before sending are not ordered. ### Are payment-on-delivery orders sent to Printags? Yes, once paid: when you mark them completed or use the action "Send to Printags". The setting "Send payment-on-delivery orders automatically", off by default, sends them as soon as they are placed, your Printags balance is then debited before your customer pays. ### Where does my customer's file go, and what data does Printags receive? The artwork goes straight from the customer's browser to Printags through a single-use signed link: your server does not store it and WooCommerce only keeps the file id. Once the order is paid, Printags receives the order lines, the artwork id, the NFC link and the shipping address (name, address, phone, e-mail) to print and ship the cards. ### Does my site have to be reachable from the internet? For real-time tracking, yes: Printags calls a webhook on your site, over https. Without a webhook, the plugin reads the order status every 6 hours. ### Can I use the plugin on a copy of my store? The connection is bound to the address of the site it was made on. On a copy (staging), nothing is sent to Printags with the original connection: connect the copy separately, in Test mode. ## Your first cards sold from WooCommerce Install the plugin, connect your account in Test mode and place a trial order before you open sales.
