Printing a waybill from the admin panel

You can print waybills right from ECMS9 — without visiting the Nova Poshta website or logging in to its cabinet.

How to print​

  1. Open the waybill page (an order with the "Processed" status).
  2. Click one of the buttons:
    • "Print waybill" — the full A4 waybill (PDF);
    • "Sticker 85×85" — a compact label for marking the parcel.
  3. The PDF opens in a new browser tab — then print as usual (Ctrl+P).

How it works under the hood​

For the A4 waybill the system downloads the PDF via the Nova Poshta API itself and keeps a copy on the server (the 85×85 sticker opens straight from Nova Poshta). Two benefits:

  • Speed — reopening serves the saved copy instantly;
  • Reliability — if the Nova Poshta service is temporarily down, you still get the last saved version of the waybill.

The saved copy refreshes automatically once it is older than an hour. If you have just edited the waybill and want a fresh PDF immediately — append ?refresh=1 to the print button URL, or simply wait a minute and open it again.

The waybill number itself is also shown on the order edit page — the Manage waybill button there leads to the same waybill page with the print buttons.
