Install using the WordPress built-in Plugin installer, or extract the zip file and drop the contents in the `wp-content/plugins/` directory of your WordPress installation. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress. 3. To edit label settings go to **WooCommerce** > **Simple Shipping Labels** submenu. 4. Save your changes and generate test labels directly from plugin settings page. 5. Make sure to properly setup your label printer in operating system and set the correct paper (label) size. 6. To generate labels page from WooCommerce orders – go to **WooCommerce** > **Orders**, click the **‘Label’** button of any order or select multiple orders first. 7. To print the labels – open the print dialogue **(Ctrl + P)** in the generated labels page, select your label printer, in advanced settings remove the default page headers, footers and set margins to ‘none’.

This plugin was developed for use via Google Chrome browser, since it has enough print control options in the print dialogue. Other browsers, Safari for instance, lack some basic settings like setting page print margins to none, causing either page overflows or wasting printable area. ### Labels not generated Things to check: * In Chrome browser > Settings > Privacy and security > Site Settings > Content > Pop-ups and redirects – if the site is listed under “Not allowed to send pop-ups or use redirects” remove its entry. * In case your browser has AdBlock plugin installed (or any similar ad blocking extension) – enable your site pop-ups there. Things to try: * Observe the console in developer tools (in Chrome press F12). * Check the plugin on other site – preferably with up to date WordPress and WooCommerce installations. * Update WooCommerce. * Temporarily enable WordPress DEBUG mode and logs (preferebly in a staging environment) – explore for any errors or conflicts. ### How to set label size? Go to the plugin settings page in WordPress dashboard > WooCommerce > Simple Shipping Labels and set various label parameters. The most important thing is to make sure you’ve installed the drivers for your printer and set the correct label size in printer settings. You will find your DYMO / Brother label printer model drivers on their corresponding websites, usually under **“Support”** or **“Downloads”** pages. Regular printers are “plug-n-play” since they use default page sizes like **A4**, while label printers need a bit of configuration, since there are a lot of weird available label sizes for each. Once you install the drivers, you should see all the supported label sizes in the printer options/settings, that should then be listed in the Chrome print dialogue for you to choose. I suggest watching a few tutorials on **YouTube** of the model you consider or purchased, see if there are any reviews and constructive comments under the videos. Even go to the extent and check which one has cheaper 3rd party labels on eBay/Amazon. ### How to edit label fields in the generated labels page? Every label detail field is editable. Use Enter key for adding line breaks and keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+B (bold) | Ctrl+I (italic) | Ctrl+U (underline). Every field automatically adds a line break once there is enough place for two lines. ### How to change label orientation? For some label sizes you may want to use different orientation. Google Chrome browser print dialogue can help to achieve it natively: 1. Switch the label height/width values in plugin label settings. 2. In browser print dialogue choose Layout > Portrait. ### Do I need Pro version? The **[Simple Shipping Labels Pro](https://dimapavlenko.com/simple-shipping-labels-for-woocommerce)** provides a few additional features, but here are a few alternatives and ideas to consider first: 1. **Branding/sender/return address section** – static info and logos can be printed separately in large quantities and color, thus can be designed in any editor, printed locally or via 3rd party services, such as **[noissue](https://noissue.co/)**/ [StickerMule](https://www.stickermule.com) or your local printing houses, and many more creative packing solutions like custom packing tape. 2. **Custom CSS** – the plugin code is simple and well documented, one with basic HTML/CSS/JavaScript/PHP/ WordPress understanding can modify the code to achieve business specific design or behaviour. 3. **Order items** – simple table of order items, great for further code customization, since it has most of the useful API/logic figured out for any beginner developer to modify. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ed1b911ec9e3cf581854aac83a258c0d7f68ec177b6668ade1a63a46bc779ae4? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple and excellent](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-and-excellent-47/)󠁿 [MMZx](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mmzx/) December 3, 2025 1 reply Excellent plugin, works perfectly from the start.
