3.3. Settings Page Overview

The Drop Print settings page is your central hub for configuring how the plugin works for your user account. Each WordPress user who manages products can have their own unique settings.

3.3.1. Connection Status & Reloading Account Info
At the top of the page, you can see your current connection status, including the Server URI, your unique Connection ID, your billing currency, and your account status (Standard or Pro). If you’ve recently upgraded to Pro or need to fetch the latest pricelists, click the “Reload Account Info” button. This will trigger a sync with the Drop Print servers.

3.3.2. Your Default Price Margin (%)
This setting allows you to define a default percentage margin that will be added to the base cost of a print to calculate a suggested selling price. For example, a 100% margin will double the base cost. You can always override this suggested price on a per-product basis.

3.3.3. Your Packing Slip
Here you can upload a custom packing slip. This should be a PNG file, ideally designed for A4 paper. If you already have one uploaded, you’ll see its filename and have the option to replace it.

3.3.4. Default Selections (Media, Image Resize, Shipping)
To speed up your workflow, you can set defaults for new products:

  • Default Media Selection: Choose the paper type you use most frequently.
  • Default Image Resize: Select how your images should scale to fit the print area by default (e.g., ‘Fill Paper Size’).
  • Default Shipping Method: (Pro Feature) If you have a Pro account, you can set the default shipping option for your orders.

3.3.5. Auto Production (Pro Only)
This is a powerful Pro feature. When turned ‘On’, the plugin will automatically send your customer’s order to our print servers for fulfilment right after they complete their payment. This creates a fully automated workflow but requires a valid payment card to be on file in your Drop Print account dashboard.
