• WooCommerce and the Shop: what syncs, mapping, completing orders and disconnecting

  Not live for everyone yet. The Shop is rolling out to a closed pilot first, so some accounts don't see it yet. During the pilot, SimplyPrint sets each pilot WooCommerce store up with the SimplyPrint plugin directly.

• The Shop: run your 3D printing orders from store to shipped

  Not live for everyone yet. The Shop is rolling out to a closed pilot first, so some accounts don't see it yet. If your plan includes the Shop but your account isn't in the pilot, there is no Shop in the sidebar, and the Shop page (/panel/shop) says "The Shop is in a closed pilot". It opens to more accounts at launch. Selling 3D prints means keeping two worlds in step. Orders arrive in Etsy, Shopify or WooCommerce, while the printing happens in SimplyPrint. Someone has to work out whicFew readers

• Shop products: map store products to Projects, variants and CSV import

  Not live for everyone yet. The Shop is rolling out to a closed pilot first, so some accounts don't see it yet. A product in the Shop is something you sell. A Project is what makes it: the models, the print settings, the sizes and the sliced plates. Linking the two once ("mapping") is what lets every later order go straight to the print queue with the right files, in the right size, in the right quantity, without anybody looking anything up.

• Shopify and the Shop: what syncs, mapping, marking orders fulfilled and disconnecting

  Not live for everyone yet. The Shop is rolling out to a closed pilot first, so some accounts don't see it yet. The SimplyPrint app for Shopify isn't on the Shopify App Store yet: during the pilot, SimplyPrint sets each pilot farm up with it directly.

• Shop packing and shipping: pack, ship and mark orders shipped in your store

  Not live for everyone yet. The Shop is rolling out to a closed pilot first, so some accounts don't see it yet. An order isn't done when the last print comes off the bed. It's done when it has left the building and the store knows. In the Shop, packing and shipping happen on the order's Pack & ship tab: where the pieces are, the packing checklist, who it goes to and by when, and the carrier and tracking number. Shipping an order there can also mark it shipped in Etsy, Shopify or WooCFew readers

• Shop customers and privacy: what is stored, importing customers and erasure

  Not live for everyone yet. The Shop is rolling out to a closed pilot first, so some accounts don't see it yet. To pack and post an order you need a name and an address. To print a name on a keychain you need the name the buyer typed. Beyond that, every extra piece of a buyer's personal data held in SimplyPrint is something you have to answer for. The Shop is built so you decide exactly which buyer details come in from each store, and can erase a customer completely when they ask. ThisFew readers

• Etsy and the Shop: connect your Etsy shop, what syncs and marking orders shipped

  Not live for everyone yet. The Shop is rolling out to a closed pilot first, so some accounts don't see it yet. Etsy is open to a small number of named pilot shops: during the pilot, Etsy lets SimplyPrint connect only a handful of shops in total. Etsy is where a lot of 3D printed products are sold, and Etsy orders are some of the most fiddly to print: variations for size and colour, personalization boxes, and shipping deadlines Etsy holds you to. Connecting your Etsy shop to the Shop briFew readers

• Shop production work: the Work page, clearing plates, trays and finishing steps

  Not live for everyone yet. The Shop is rolling out to a closed pilot first, so some accounts don't see it yet. A printer finishing isn't the end of an order. The plate has to be cleared, the pieces counted against the right order, put somewhere you'll find them again, maybe have supports removed and be inspected, and finally be picked and packed. With a few orders that happens on one bench. With a busy farm and several people on shift, it needs a list. The Work tab (`/panel/shop/woFew readers

• Shop settings and permissions: import defaults, due dates, brands, production and access

  Not live for everyone yet. The Shop is rolling out to a closed pilot first, so some accounts don't see it yet. The Shop's settings live with the rest of your account's settings, under Settings > Shop (/panel/settings/shop). The gear button on the Shop page opens them too. This article goes through every section, the import settings that decide what happens after an order arrives, and the Shop's permissions. The Shop is part of the Print Farm and Enterprise plans.

• Shop inventory: stock items, movements, reservations and minimum stock

  Not live for everyone yet. The Shop is rolling out to a closed pilot first, so some accounts don't see it yet. Most print farms make to order: nothing sits on a shelf waiting to be sold, and every order becomes print work. Others print their best sellers ahead, or sell printed items with bought-in parts like magnets, bulbs or boxes. The Inventory tab (/panel/shop/inventory) is for the second kind: it counts what you physically have, in whole pieces, and keeps a history of every chFew readers

• Shop orders: store orders, manual orders, review and release

  Not live for everyone yet. The Shop is rolling out to a closed pilot first, so some accounts don't see it yet. The Orders tab (/panel/shop/orders) is every order you sell, in one list: from Etsy, Shopify and WooCommerce, from the API, and the ones you type in yourself. Each order keeps its store and order number, when it was placed and when it's due, and four separate answers: is it paid, is everything mapped, how far is production, and has it shipped.

• Connecting a store to the Shop: guided setup, import rules and what is shared

  Not live for everyone yet. The Shop is rolling out to a closed pilot first, so some accounts don't see it yet. During the pilot, connecting Shopify and WooCommerce is guided by SimplyPrint for each pilot farm, and Etsy is open to a small number of named pilot shops. Connecting a store lets the Shop read its products and orders, so you stop copying them into SimplyPrint by hand.
