Zakeke offers the opportunity to connect your POD catalog and customize your products with a native integration with Printful, CustomCat and Printeers.
Meanwhile, if you're not using any of the mentioned POD services, you can still use your preferred Print on Demand service with Zakeke following these guidelines, in order to receive print-ready files related to customers designs and personalizations.
By manually creating the customizable products and creating a workflow with Order Desk it is possible to automatically send the print-ready files to the POD company of your choice.
These are the steps you need to follow:
-
First, upload the products as standard products on your store.
-
Then, you need to recreate your POD's products inside Zakeke, with all the applicable rules and make them customizable products.
When you set the print area inside Zakeke during the creation of your customizable products, please make sure you follow the size guidelines that are provided by the print-on-demand company from which you're taking the products. Each company usually has its own guidelines.
-
Configure Order Desk in order to have the print-ready files generated by Zakeke automatically sent to the POD for fulfillment and shipping.
Order Desk works with most popular PODs like Gelato, Printify, etc.. see the complete list here. However, even if the service you use is not supported, you can still make a custom integration via API (get in touch with Order Desk support for this).
Please Note
If you use our native integrations with the POD services, the PODs' catalogs will be available only for the first store (master sales channel) that you integrate and won't be available for the extra sales channels you might add to your Zakeke account.
