Order fulfillment – WHCC order

Pixpa enables you to automate your print orders by connecting the WHCC lab to your Store.

To start receiving WHCC orders, you need to: 

1. Set up WHCC lab.
2. Create a WHCC price list.
3. Create the eCommerce-enabled gallery(s).
4. Apply the price list to the gallery(s).
5. Connect payment method(s).

Once you have set up everything and started receiving orders (with WHCC print products), you can view them from the Orders page of the Store section.

Pixpa sends order emails to you, your customer, your staff (in case you have specified the staff email addresses), and the lab that you have connected to (in case you have connected a lab and the order contains a print product).
