Shopify Store Integration: Fast, Free and FUN!

If you want to be a success in the complex, demanding and competitive world of print on demand, then it's an excellent strategy to make your potential customer market as large as it can be. That's why it's such a good idea to offer your merchandise on numerous different ecommerce platforms.

You can now integrate an ecommerce store directly with Texprint. When you do, you no longer have to spend hours handling orders manually as the entire process is quickly and reliably automated. This frees up a lot of your time, which you can then spend concentrating on what you love best: designing! In this edition of our blog we're going to look at Shopify, one of the world's most popular and fast growing ecommerce platforms.

Designed and built by business partners Tobias Lütke and Scott Lake, Shopify was launched in the summer of 2006. It was a resounding success and quickly gained a reputation for being powerful yet easy to use. Going from strength to strength, Shopify grew and evolved and is now used by millions of businesses from over 175 countries on every continent.

Using Shopify to sell custom printed clothing and merchandise offers many distinct advantages.

• As we have already mentioned, Shopify is extremely easy to use even for a novice and you don't need any coding experience to get started. You can choose from an array of pre-designed themes along with a simple drag-and-drop editing interface to get your store looking exactly how you want it.
• You can extend your store's functionality with apps, of which there are more than 1,200 available in the Shopify app store. These facilitate all kinds of things from inventory management to customer service, payment gateways and much more besides. The app store is also where you'll find the Texprint integration app, which is absolutely free to install and use. 
• Shopify is designed with scalability firmly in mind. As your print on demand operation grows (which it definitely will when you work with Texprint!), you can easily add whatever new functionality features you need.
• With Shopify, you don't need to worry about technical infrastructure. All of the security and hosting is taken care of, giving both yourself and your customers complete peace of mind.
• Expanding your potential market is made easy with Shopify thanks to a host of built-in marketing tools. 

Hundreds of millions of people buy customised products from Shopify every year and so you should seriously consider creating one if you haven't already. You can then integrate it with Texprint for free! The integration process takes just a few minutes and our very own Pär has made a YouTube video showing just how easy it is.
