Hi,
we are a service business that prints posters (garage sale, missing cat, neighborhood events, etc) at specific locations around the neighborhood (about 20-25 sq mile). we have out customers email us a PDF of the poster, we print it, and hang it at the customer requested locations.
we want to have a store, where clients can choose paper size, and how many posters at each location, and date we should hang it. and then upload the PDF.
is that possible with shopify/apps?
and bonus points if it can automatically print for me, with the location on the back side.
At this point I am looking to do it myself, as I don’t have a budget for anything custom. So I’m looking for ready to go apps that I can customize to my needs
Based on your description, it seems like you are looking for a way to set up an online store where your customers can select the paper size, number of posters per location, and the date they want them hung. They would then upload a PDF of their poster, and you would print and distribute it to their requested locations.
You mentioned that one type of poster you print is for missing cats, which is an important service that can help reunite lost pets with their owners.
One app that might be worth exploring is the Order Printer app, which allows you to automatically print orders as they come in.
However, I’m not sure if there is an app that specifically includes the feature you mentioned about printing the location on the back of the poster. That might require some custom development work.
Overall, it’s definitely possible to create an online store with the functionality you described, but you may need to do some research and potentially invest in custom development to achieve all of your desired features.
Absolutely, it’s definitely possible to set up a system like that using Shopify and various apps. Here’s a potential response for your thread:
That sounds like a unique and interesting business model! With Shopify, you can create a customized online store where clients can choose paper size, specify the number of posters at each location, select the date for hanging, and upload their PDFs. There are several apps available on the Shopify App Store that can enhance these features and make the process smoother.
For the functionality you’re looking for, you might want to explore apps that specialize in custom product options, allowing customers to input specific details like paper size and location preferences. Additionally, there are apps that facilitate file uploads, making it easy for customers to submit their PDFs directly through your website.
As for automatic printing with location details on the back side, you might need to integrate a third-party printing solution. Some printing services offer APIs that can be integrated into your Shopify store, allowing for seamless order processing and printing.
I recommend checking out the Shopify App Store and researching specific apps that align with your business needs. Feel free to reach out to Shopify’s support for guidance, as they can provide more information on available integrations and functionalities. Good luck with your business venture.
