[Automatically Printing Order Receipts]

I'm trying to see if it is possible to set up CubeCart (either with inbuilt settings or via an extension) so that when a customer places an order, it automatically sends the order to a receipt printer? I can't see anything that would do this - is it possible? Pickleball Combination

CubeCart does not have a built-in feature or extension that directly sends orders to a receipt printer. However, you may be able to achieve this functionality by integrating CubeCart with a third-party service or using custom development.

 

I hope this can help you..

[How do scheduled tasks work?]

To answer your question, yes, you can use the wget command to trigger the scheduled tasks by visiting the URL https://domain.com?_g=cron&_m=runSnippets. This URL is the endpoint that the system uses to execute the scheduled tasks.

To set up a cron job to run the tasks, you can use the following syntax:

* * * * * wget -q -O /dev/null https://domain.com?_g=cron&_m=runSnippets

This cron job will run the wget command every minute, which will trigger the scheduled tasks to run. The -q flag suppresses output from the wget command, and the -O /dev/null flag redirects the output to the null device, which effectively discards it.

Of course, you can adjust the timing of the cron job to suit your needs. For example, to run the tasks every hour, you could use the following syntax:

0 * * * * wget -q -O /dev/null https://domain.com?_g=cron&_m=runSnippets
