Attach labels to order for automatic printing
I have a clover device setup to automatically print orders with certain labels, I am creating a order through the web api and I want to attach the labels to the orders so that they automatically print. what field do I attach these label items to? Do I attach them to the line item or orders as I don't see a property for labels on either objects.
You'd need to describe what is a "label"? A string tag? Are you printing order receipts or payment receipts?
@Jeffrey Blattman Order receipts I believe, when fire is hit on the clover dining app, the receipt is automatically printed based on the item label. I am creating a webapp that creates orders but I need to attach the label/tag for it to auto print on order. Where would I attach this label/tag.
Items have labels. That is copied into the line item when added to an order. I'd suggest experimenting with Clover apps (inventory, printers) to set up labels it might give you a better understanding how the system works.
@Jeffrey Blattman thanks I will and I have one final question, If I place an order with the label and the printers are set to print depending on the label, will it print the receipt when I order using the rest api. I heard you can only communicate with the printers via android sdk but I can just do it the way I suggested and set a printer to a label and when I submit an order with the label of items it will print to the designated printer?
It will not.
You need to write an app that runs on the device and initiate printing from there.
