Shopify Setup for Prafia

Printing shipping labels from Shopify with your Prafia printer is simple.
Follow the steps below to ensure your labels are printed in the correct format.

Step 1: Purchase and Generate Your Shipping Label

  1. Go to your Shopify Admin.
  2. Open the order for which you want to print the shipping label.
  3. Purchase and generate the shipping label as usual.

For most European countries (NL, BE, FR, ES, IT, etc.)

Shopify does not yet support direct carrier label purchasing in many European countries.
Instead, you can generate shipping labels through apps or integrations:

  • Sendcloud → supports PostNL, DHL, DPD, UPS, GLS, bpost, and more.
  • MyParcel → especially popular in the Netherlands & Belgium for PostNL, DHL, DPD.
  • Carrier apps → official integrations from PostNL, DHL eCommerce, DHL Express, bpost, or DPD.

Once generated in the app, you can download the shipping label as a PDF and open it in your computer’s print dialog. From here, the process is the same: select your Prafia printer and print.

Step 2: Select the Correct Label Format

  1. On the Print shipping label page, locate the Print options section on the right.
  2. Click on Change format.
  3. Select the correct format for your Prafia printer:
    • Choose Label printer (4” x 6”) or Thermal printer format.
  4. Save your settings.

Shopify change shipping label format

Tip: If you select the default 8.5” x 11” format, your label may not fit correctly on your shipping label. Always switch to 4” x 6”.

Step 3: Print the Label Using Your Prafia Printer

  1. Click Print shipping label.
  2. In your computer’s print dialog, select your Prafia printer.
  3. Confirm that the correct label size is selected in your printer settings (typically 4” x 6” / 100 mm x 150 mm).
  4. Print your label.

Additional Tips

  • Make sure your Prafia printer is properly installed on your device.
  • If needed, adjust the label margins in your printer settings to ensure a perfect fit.
  • For apps like Sendcloud or MyParcel: always check the export settings to make sure your labels are set to 100 × 150 mm (4 × 6 inch) before printing.
