Getting started with Shopify

Shopify is one of the largest webshop platforms and widely used worldwide. It’s a perfect match to Printeers because of the quick and easy way to set up a webshop and it doesn’t require a lot of technical knowledge to manage. There are a couple different options for working with Printeers and Shopify. We describe the most commonly used options on this page. Keep an eye on this page as there will be more options available soon!

Manual ordering is the easiest way to start selling your designs on phone cases. When just starting out, we always recommend starting manually. Just create a couple of products in Shopify with your best designs and add the most popular models as a product option. Register for an account so you can access our Printeers B2B Webshop. In the webshop you can generate a product image with our mockup generator.

When you make your first sale, just log in to our webshop and place your order. Enter the address of your customer and we will ship the order white label directly to your customer.

This way, you can get to know the process and your market without requiring a complex automated setup. It’s always good practice to start simple and build your collection and automate tasks while already selling. Release early, release often!

When you are already experienced and have sold some products, it is time to start automating. This is possible in multiple ways, for example by using workflow automation tools like Make.com to integrate with our API without using a line of code. You can also use Order Desk to integrate your order flow. They have a direct integration with our API making it easy to automatically transfer orders to our platform. They even have possibilities available to sync stock levels to your products automatically. Contact Order Desk for more information about this.

Keep in mind that automating requires some technical knowledge. We provide support on technical difficulties because we have an in house development team and we build all our software in house. We don’t provide a full guide to set up the automation because each integration works differently based on your needs. If you are tech savvy, it’s a nice challenge. If you don’t have any experience with this, consider hiring a specialist to help you set it up.

For more demanding customers with more complex setups, it is possible to build a custom integration directly from your webshop to our API. This is useful when you have a large webshop and make lots of sales. Our largest partners have fully automated setups from creating the products, adding new phone models, synchronizing stock, orders and keeping track of the order status. We have a well documented REST API to easily integrate with your system and an in house development team to support you during the integration.
