Personalized Yard Signs

[Nicolas1710]

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can make personalized yard signs?

Hi Nicolas,

I've got a Shopify store that sells customized yard signs.  I have had to use Creative Cloud Illustrator to create my designs then save them as PNG, JPEG or PDF file.  Then I had to submit them to a printer/drop shipper for proof.   Once the proof is approved you can use the PDF or JPEG to post the design on your store.   The problem I'm having is I haven't found a yard sign printer that has an app for Shopify.   I use Printful on another site and my customers fill out their orders, pay, and Printful produces and ships once the order has been submitted.  The yard sign printers I've talked with will print on demand and ship, but I still have to forward each order to them.  Still looking for a "Printful" model for yard signs.   

Illustrator is pretty easy to learn - it does cost to use all the features.   Good luck.

Always backup themes , files or notifications before making changes

If they provide an email address you can add them in shopify as custom fulfillment service and modifying the fulfillment notification to suit.

https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/shipping/fulfillment-services/custom 

💣 Notice though this requires triggering the normal fulfilled processes so test thoroughly and update other notifications to suit, or disable the customers automatic shipping order notification

If they provide a webhook consumer https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/orders/notifications/webhooks 

Ultimately niche needs need niche development if they provide an api you have to build your own app, or they have something like an FTP server you'd use an automation app like mechanic by creating a script.

Merchants that need to test those paths can contact me at paull.newton+shopifyforums@gmail.com with store name and use case details.
