I'm looking for a web to print ecommerce solution. A user should be able to upload their own designs or use an online design facility. Ideally I'd like to be able to use Zen Cart or Magento. I've seen a few from searching on Google , like http://www.onprintshop.com - but I'd like to know if anybody here has had experience with these systems.
There are a few ways to do this but I have been looking into this sort of the thing. I, however, do the actual printing so its a bit different and actual prints or images. If I understand you correctly you want something like this http://www.magentocommerce.com/mage.../extension/1586/web_to_print_store_incl_theme if that is off target let me know. Happy to lend a quick hand. hope that helps, Nigel
this allows for design side of things. What if the customer wants to order a business card and upload their own design? Also, what about options and attributes like how this is setup - http://bit.ly/f4paGy
I would have to flow chart this in order to spell it out completely but it is certainly doable. This is magento for instance http://www.printerpros.co.uk/shop/index.php/ Have you installed it yet? If not I would largely be talking to myself lol... Its not so much a matter of doing one or other, its doing both. I would have to mull that over for a bit. It is however possible. Media and coating for instance on a bus. card can be simple custom options but making that an attribute set is likely easier. If you can let me know everything the site needs to do in its entirety I can likely speed things up for you. Sounds like a fun project. Nigel EDIT: I have not looked at this yet but apparently uploading is a feature now. http://inchoo.net/ecommerce/magento/file-upload-in-magento/

Hi John, we have just launched online design product configurator NimboEdit. It can be easily integrated in any ecommerce solution, might be just what you need. All design templates are based on editable vector and bitmap elements, allowing your customers to express their creativity with great freedom. You can find online demos and feature list on www.nimboedit.com As it can be customized from simplest product configurator to full-scale online design application, feel free to contact us with your needs at contact info provided on NimboEdit site.
I tried using zetaprint. In my opinion it is terrible.There are many others out there that look good but you need to ask yourself if you really need this. The only reason I say that is because the good ones are expensive and if you only gat 1 or 2 orders through it per month it is just not worth it. As far as a customer uploading a file to you, you should be able to set that up in Magento.
Our pricing model depends on many factors - whether you are looking for SaaS or integration with your solution, amount of customization needed, amount of traffic expected etc. Please contact us with your exact requirements via nimboedit.com contact page. We would agree on that. Setting up online configurator tool for only few orders per month would not pay off.
johnmck - I am looking for the exact same thing. there are several in the back of the trade magazines but they all cost several hundred a month plus you have to build it. I something that is does not cost very much and someone to customize it for me. if you find someone please pass them to me when you are done Thanks Joe
e-commerce business in deed requires several factor to consider.... for me security is on the top... when it comes to resources, many are available but the thing is... is it fit to the business requirements of your business.. think first and plan thoroughly... goodluck...
Greetings John,I understand your requirement of a Web to print solution which supports customized designs and ability to upload your own design and the zen cart integration. In our experience a mere web to print solution is not enough for success, a printing company needs a comprehensive web strategy to make their web store success and visible online, in addition to that it should be backed by a print oriented MIS solution.You should have a look at MyPrintCloud solution, it has a powerful template designer, with thousands of premium print quality templates, custom shopping cart, SEO optimized built-in CMS and fully integrated Print management software. And they have a HTML 5 based designer launching very soon. You can get the retail store up and running for about $900/month. Also you are not required to pay any base price with their current promotion. Check it out at http://www.myprintcloud.com
