From configured product to delivered order

  1. 1

    Choose products and options

    Each product has its own options: size, page count, paper, cover and finish. Your customers pick them in your store, or your system sends them through the API or an order feed.

  2. 2

    See your trade price

    Prices come from your own price book: quantity breaks, option and delivery prices, with VAT shown. Every quote is itemised and fixed once it’s issued.

  3. 3

    Pay securely with Stripe

    Store checkout uses Stripe, so card details go straight to Stripe and never touch our servers. Orders placed with test API keys use a sandbox and are never charged or printed.

  4. 4

    Printed and posted

    Artwork is checked on upload. The order goes to the printer you named, or one near the delivery address, who prints and posts it. You see each status change in your account, by webhook or through the API.
