Sound familiar?

You don’t have months - or a setup budget.

When you’re getting a print business off the ground, the enemy isn’t the competition. It’s the weeks you spend not selling, and the money you spend before your first order.

You need to be selling, not stalling

You’ve got products, a logo, and a few customers waiting. What you don’t have is three months and a developer budget to stand up a store. Every week you’re not online is a week of orders going to someone who already is.

Big setup fees you can’t justify yet

The “serious” web-to-print tools want thousands up front before you’ve sold a thing - a few hundred a month plus a setup fee on top. For a business that’s still proving itself, that’s a bet you shouldn’t have to make on day one.

Patchwork tools that don’t talk

A site builder here, a payment link there, artwork over email, a spreadsheet for orders. It works - until it doesn’t. The moment you get busy, the cracks show and you’re back to copy-paste and apologies.

Every bounced file is a reprint, a delay, or an hour of free prepress. Starting out with self-serve ordering, instant pricing and clean print-ready files means you never build that waste into your business in the first place.

Live this week

Four steps from sign-up to your first order.

No developer, no consultant, no setup fee. Just you, your products, and a store that’s ready to sell.

1

Request your free trial - no card

Tell us about your shop and we’ll review and approve you, then set things up with you. The 14-day trial needs no credit card and there’s no setup fee, so you can see the whole platform before you decide anything.

2

Add your products and pricing

Load a handful of products, pick a built-in pricing model - from flat price to your own formula - and your store quotes every job instantly. Nothing to code, no spreadsheets to babysit.

3

Brand it and connect payments

Drop in your logo and colours, connect Stripe, Razorpay or Authorize.Net, and set your store to run in your currency with the tax you charge.

4

Publish and take your first order

Point your domain, hit publish, and you’re live - this week. Customers browse, design, get a price, and check out while you focus on making the work.

We review every request personally and reply within one business day - then your 14-day trial starts, no card needed.

What you get to launch

Everything you need to sell online - without the up-front bet.

Not a stripped-down trial version. The same platform the bigger shops run on, priced so a new business can start today.

Branded storefront

A real store on your own domain - not a marketplace stall

Your logo, your colours, your web address. A storefront customers buy from directly, open 24/7, that looks like an established business from the very first order. No middleman taking a cut, no per-order fees nibbling your margin.

  • Your brand and domain end to end
  • Open 24/7 - orders come in overnight
  • No marketplace cut, no per-order fees

Instant pricing

Every job prices itself - no late-night quoting

Flat price, percentage markup, quantity breaks, per-area, or your own formula - the built-in pricing models cover how print is actually sold. Set it once and the storefront quotes instantly the moment a customer configures their job. You stop trading evenings for estimates.

  • Pricing models built in, no spreadsheets to maintain
  • Quotes calculate instantly on the storefront
  • Quantity breaks, per-area, formula and option pricing

Design studio + live 3D

Let customers design it right - and see it real

A built-in design studio lets customers lay out their job in the browser and see it on a live 3D preview before they buy. They get exactly what they expect; you get a clean, print-ready file instead of a blurry logo dragged into an email.

  • Customers design in the browser, no software
  • Live 3D preview before they order
  • Print-ready 300 DPI CMYK PDF out the other end

Orders in one place

See every order on one board from day one

Orders land in one place and move across a job board - new, in production, ready - so even as a team of one you always know what’s on, what’s late, and what’s ready to ship. When a customer asks “where’s my order?”, you answer in seconds.

  • One board for every order, even solo
  • Know what’s on, late, or ready at a glance
  • Connect Stripe, Razorpay or Authorize.Net

Starting cost, side by side

Less to spend up front. Less to bolt together.

DesignNBuy is a standalone online designer you add to a site you’ve built elsewhere. For a new business, that’s a bigger bill and more moving parts before your first sale.

A configured rollout

DesignNBuy figures are based on publicly listed pricing and may change; check current terms with each vendor. The point isn’t that one is bad - it’s that a founder shouldn’t pay thousands up front to find out if selling online works.
