Setup Print Vendor for auto fulfillment – Sell Images

Pixpa supports Self-fulfillment where you can fulfill your orders using any lab of your choice. To automate self-fulfillment, you need to set up your Print Vendor.

Print Vendors allow you to automate print order processing.
Pixpa automatically sends the order email with the download links of images to be printed to any print lab (Print Vendor) that accepts orders by email.

Set up a Print Vendor:

• Enter fulfillment methods (1) in the Search Bar.
• From the related results, click on the Store – Fulfillment Methods for Selling Images option (2) under Studio Links. 

• You will now reach the Fulfillment Methods page under Sell Images where you can manage the labs.
• Click on the Add a Vendor button.

On clicking the button, you would see a pop-up window where you need to fill in the required details.

Let’s dive into these in detail: 

1. Print Vendor Name – Specify your local lab name.
2. Vendor Emails – Specify up to 3 lab email addresses (separated by comma) to which the order details will be sent. 
3. Email Subject – Specify the subject of the order emails.
   Add a unique prefix to make your order email stand out in their mailbox like [Your store name] or [Print order] etc.

4. Automatic Fulfilment – Enable this to send all paid orders to this lab automatically. You would need to upload high-resolution original files of your images upfront for automatic fulfillment.
   If the original image size is not sufficient for printing any lab product at 300 dpi, then that product will not be available in the shopping cart for ordering.

5. Review Orders – Enable this option to review and manually approve all orders. Original file sizes are not checked before products are added to the cart if this option is enabled.
   You will also be able to replace original files for the order items at the review stage.

6. Ship Orders to – Here, you can choose where would you like to ship your order. You can either choose Dropship to the customer’s address in the order invoice or Send to my studio address which is specified in the My Account section.

7. Copyright Text (Optional) – Specify the copyright text for the back of the print.
8. Request print vendor to color correct images – You can request your lab to color correct your images for all the orders if they support them.
9. Send order instructions to the print vendor (Optional) – You can also add instructions that would go to this lab if you want to. 
10. Hit the Save button to save the changes.

That’s it. Your Print Vendor has been set up.
