In today's digital world, customization leads the way. Customily steps in as a key tool for e-commerce stores aiming to enhance their products. This innovative design tool simplifies the sale of custom and personalized products by integrating interactive previews and seamless fulfillment connections into online stores. Whether leveraging Print on Demand (POD) partners or utilizing in-house printing facilities, Customily equips businesses with the capability to offer unique, tailor-made products that meet customers' personalization needs.
How print on demand integrations work with Customily
Customily allows you to partner with various POD providers for your product sourcing. These providers take care of printing, inventory management, fulfillment, packing, and shipping directly to your customers.
The process explained
Using Customily to work with a POD provider means Customily sends your order details and the unique print file for personalization directly to the POD provider via an API. The POD provider then manages the order from production to delivery.
The advantage of using Customily
Working directly with POD providers is an option, but they lack customization features. With Customily, you can offer personalized designs for each product instead of a single design for all.
Getting started with a POD
To use a POD provider with Customily, you need an account with them. This is essential for sharing business and billing information. With an account, you can connect to Customily via API to start your partnership.
