The first-day path

Five steps to your first order

About an hour of hands-on setup, spread over an afternoon - and we do it with you, on a screen share. Here’s what that first afternoon actually covers.

About 10 minutes

Connect your domain

Point your web address to your new store - store.yourshop.com or your own domain. We walk through it with you on the screen share, and it is usually done before your coffee goes cold. Don’t have a domain yet? Start on a free Printmio address and switch later.

  • Step-by-step setup wizard - no developer required
  • Your branding, your colors, your logo from the start
  • A secure padlock (HTTPS) on every page, set up for you

About 15 minutes

Add your first product

Add a product the way your customers buy it - business cards, flyers, t-shirts, banners, whatever you sell. Upload a photo, write a description, and choose the options buyers pick from, like size, paper, or color. We build the first one with you on the setup call, so every product after it follows a pattern you have already seen.

  • Build options buyers actually choose from - size, stock, finish
  • Let customers personalize it in the built-in design studio
  • See it come to life with live 3D preview

Set your pricing

Price the product the way you actually quote it - flat price, percentage markup, quantity breaks, per-area, or your own formula. Pick the built-in pricing model that matches, plug in your numbers, and the store quotes every order instantly. No spreadsheets, no late-night math.

  • Pricing models built in - flat, markup, per-area, tiers, or your own formula
  • Instant, accurate quotes the moment a customer chooses options
  • Run your store in your currency, with tax set the way you charge it

Publish your store

When it looks right, flip it live. Your branded store goes online - open for orders 24 hours a day, on every phone, tablet, and laptop. Customers can browse, design, see a proof, and pay without sending you a single midnight email.

  • Open for business round the clock, on every device
  • Customers design, proof, and pay online themselves
  • Edit pages and add products any time - changes go live instantly

Take a test order

Before you tell customers, run an order through yourself. Place it like a buyer would, watch it land on your order board, move it through the job kanban, and check the 300 DPI CMYK print-ready file that comes out the other end. Now you know exactly what your customers and your team will see.

  • Watch an order flow from checkout to your job board
  • Confirm payment lands in your own connected account
  • Get a press-ready PDF - 300 DPI CMYK, fonts embedded

The result

An afternoon’s work, open for orders 24/7.

Once you publish, this is what your customers see - a fast, branded storefront on your own domain, where they browse, design, see a proof, and pay without sending you a single midnight email.

Support

You won’t be doing it alone

We set your shop up with you rather than handing you a login and a documentation link - and we stay one click away once you’re running.

Guided onboarding

A built-in checklist walks you through each step the first time you log in, so you always know what to do next.

Free migration

Part of our founding-100 offer: on any plan, we move your products, customers and price lists across with you at no extra cost. After the founding group, migration help is included on Growing Shop and Multi-Location.

Help when you’re stuck

Help docs, email, and chat are there if a step doesn’t go to plan - so a snag never costs you a day.
