      For the best experience, please follow the guidelines below after downloading.

      Before we get to the fun part, we need to first make sure you have properly set-up your app and prepared your designs for the best print quality. To do this simply:

      1. Once downloaded, complete your account profile in 'Settings' (in case we need to reach you!)
      2. Add your own logo to our custom branding sets.
      3. Before creating, make sure your designs meet our Artwork Guidelines.
      4. Review our Print Guide to understand how each product is printed and produced.
      5. View Shopify's General Checklist to make sure your store settings are all correct. For example:

      Now the fun part! You can design in our Shopify app or use our Creator Studio, as products are automatically added when a product's design is finished. Once steps 1-4 above are finished, you may:

      1. Upload your design.
      2. Choose the products you're interested in.
      3. Design, set your profit margins, and get your products available for purchase (instructions below).
      4. Once an order is placed, simply submit payment to fulfill the order.

      ** Please note, you will only pay the base price when an order is submitted. Please make sure you submit payment when your orders are imported automatically; otherwise your orders will not be fulfilled.**
